Best Ever Crock Pot Chicken and Dumplings: A Comfort Food Classic Made Easy – Page 4

Why This Recipe Works

The crock pot does the heavy lifting. Slow, even heat makes the chicken fall-apart tender and gives the sauce time to deepen in flavor.
Shortcut dumplings. Using refrigerated biscuits saves time without sacrificing the fluffy, comforting texture of homemade dumplings.
Balanced nutrition. With vegetables, protein, and a hearty broth, this dish is as nourishing as it is comforting.
Perfect for leftovers. The flavors only deepen overnight, making it a fantastic make-ahead meal.

For extra richness: Use chicken thighs with a little skin or bone; remove before serving.
Make it lighter: Swap in cream of mushroom soup instead of cream of chicken, or use low-sodium broth.
Add herbs: Fresh thyme or rosemary add a lovely depth of flavor.
Freeze for later: Chicken and dumplings can be frozen in portions. Just reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
