Crock Pot Chicken & Dumplings

I found THE BEST chicken and dumplings recipe on Pinterest. It is also extremely easy and made in a crock pot. We tried this a couple of Sundays ago and it's our new favorite. 

Add your chicken breasts (I used 3), butter, cream of chicken soup, and chicken broth to the crock pot. I seasoned everything with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook on High for 4-6 hours. (I cooked mine for 6)

Cut up 5 flaky refrigerated biscuits into 8 pieces each. 

Remove the chicken breasts and shred the meat. 

Add your biscuit pieces and shredded chicken back into the crock pot and stir. Cook on High for another 30 minutes.

Serve it up! This is the perfect winter comfort food.

{Print this recipe!}

1 lb of boneless, skinless chicken breasts (3-5)

2 tbsp unsalted butter

2 cans (10.5 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup

1 can (14 oz) chicken broth

5 large, flaky refrigerated biscuits

Garlic powder, salt, and pepper to season (no measurements, I just eyeballed it)

Place chicken in crock pot and top with butter. Add cream of chicken soup and chicken broth. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook on High for 4-6 hours.

Remove chicken from crock pot and use a fork to shred. Return chicken to the crock pot. Cut each uncooked biscuit into 8 pieces and stir into the chicken mixture. Continue to cook on High for 30 minutes. Serve hot.
