How to Make Easy Slow Cooker Chicken and Dumplings Recipe
Ingredients
Be sure to see the recipe card below for the full listing of ingredients, instructions, notes, and estimated nutritional information.
Chicken – I use boneless, skinless chicken breasts. You can substitute it with your favorite cut of chicken. Butter – I use salted butter, but unsalted butter works well here too. Cream of chicken soup – I use my homemade cream of chicken soup recipe. You’ll need the entire recipe for this soup. You can also use your favorite store-bought soup if you prefer. Biscuits – You’ll need six uncooked biscuits in this soup. I use my homemade biscuit recipe. You can also substitute with your favorite store-bought biscuits. I recommend using biscuits from the freezer section rather than canned biscuits. Parsley – Chopped fresh parsley adds brightness in color and flavor to the soup, but it is completely optional. Salt and pepper – Add salt and pepper to taste once the soup has cooked. Since you may use substitutions in this recipe, you’ll need to make sure to add to taste.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Add the chicken, butter, and cream of chicken soup to a 5 to 6-quart slow cooker. Add enough water to cover the chicken and the soup. Stir together until combined. Cook 6 hours on high or 8 hours on low. About 30-35 minutes prior to serving, shred the chicken in the slow cooker with two forks. Add the biscuit pieces to the slow cooker. Cook until the biscuit dough is fully cooked throughout. Serve topped with fresh parsley, if using, and salt and pepper to taste.
Storage Tips
To store leftovers. Cool the soup and then store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To make ahead. Prepare the soup as directed. Cool and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat and serve. To freeze. Prepare and cool completely.
