Easy Slow Cooker Chicken and Dumplings

Directions

• Slow Cooker Setup – Place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker. Add diced onion and butter to layer the flavors. Pour in the cream of chicken soup and water just enough to submerge the ingredients. Stir to mix everything seamlessly which forms the base of your dish. This setup takes about 15 minutes.
• Cooking Time – Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook for approximately 4 hours on high setting or 6 hours on low, ensuring that the chicken becomes tender and flavors meld.
• Preparing Dumplings – About 30 minutes before the end of cooking time, start preparing the dumplings. Flatten the biscuit dough slightly with your hands to help them cook evenly.
• Final Touches – Tear the biscuit dough into small pieces and gently place them on top of the chicken mixture in the slow cooker. Allow the dumplings to cook until they expand and become fluffy, about 30 minutes. This not only thickens the broth but infuses the dumplings with flavor from the base.
