Hi Friends, Studio Administrator Casey here! I am going to share with you the simplest recipe for chicken 'n' dumplings I have ever used! With the onset of cooler weather, my husband was craving soup. He loves my chicken 'n' dumplings but my tried-and-true recipe is very labor intensive and takes, on average, 8 hours. I make everything from scratch and it IS delicious, but this busy mommy needed a quicker alternative! The best part? This is a crock pot recipe so there is no actual cooking required on your part! ;)
Ingredients:
4 chicken breasts (I used 3 because mine were huge and there are only 3 of us)
2 cans cream of chicken soup
1 carton of chicken broth
Your favorite soup veggies (I used carrot "matchsticks" and mushrooms)
1 onion finely chopped
1 can of Junior Grands biscuits
Instructions:
- Place chicken breasts in crock pot.
- Cover with canned soup.
- Pour in carton of chicken broth (if the liquid looks to low for soup you can either add more broth or cover with water...I used more broth.)
- Put veggies and chopped onion on top.
- Cook on high for 5-6 hours.
- Shred chicken.
- During the final thirty minutes, cut the biscuits into fourths and lightly coat in flour. Place them on top of the soup, replace the lid and watch them cook. (I had my toddler help me with this last step and it got him very excited to eat what he had "made." My picky eater ate an entire bowl full!
Here is the finished product for your reference:

Very hearty, very inexpensive and very easy to make. My favorite kind of recipe!
