Make this creamy slow cooker chicken and dumplings for a comforting, set-it-and-forget-it weeknight dinner. This recipe uses simple ingredients to create tender chicken and fluffy biscuit dumplings in a rich, savory gravy.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can cream of celery soup
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup chopped carrots
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 (16.3 ounce) package refrigerated biscuit dough

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, cream of celery soup, chicken broth, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Pour this mixture over the chicken.
  3. Add the chopped carrots to the slow cooker.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and easily shredded.
  5. Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir. Add the frozen peas.
  6. Tear the refrigerated biscuit dough into quarters. Drop the biscuit pieces evenly over the top of the chicken mixture. Do not stir them in.
  7. Cover the slow cooker and cook on high for 30 to 45 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through and fluffy.
  8. Serve immediately for a hearty, cozy dinner.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, substitute half of the chicken broth with heavy cream during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
  • If you prefer homemade dumplings, use your favorite drop biscuit recipe instead of the refrigerated dough.
  • Shredding the chicken directly in the slow cooker saves on cleanup time.
