Slow Cooker Chicken & Dumplings
Not everything that comes out of your kitchen has to be gourmet and fully homemade. Sometimes you just need easy.
Enter this recipe passed along to me by a friend for her version of Crock-Pot Chicken & Dumplings. This recipe starts with some canned cooked chicken, chicken broth (from a can), frozen peas and carrots and canned refrigerator biscuits.
And while some folks may turn their noses up at a recipe that uses so many ingredients that come from a can that is quite OK. Because you know what I know that there are some people that need a recipe just like this one. I bet you that my 8th grade home economics teacher would have approved. She was the QUEEN of canned biscuit dough!
And if canned chicken is just too much for you or you cannot find it in your local grocery store you can of course use shredded or cut up cooked chicken. The meat from a store bought or homemade rotisserie chicken would work just great in this recipe.
So let’s get cookin…

I assume the carrots and peas go in at same time as broth and chicken??
When do the peas and carrots go in?

When i use the chicken n dumpling rec’p , i buy either chicken thigh’s / breast ,with 1/2 c broth … cook 6 hrs on medium , being i get up early , take out any bones from chicken , then add baby carrots , green beans , add the chicken soup , to 1 can evaporated milk , i cut up biscuits into 1/4’s , set ontop of chicken , add parm cheese
Be sure to use salt, pepper and celery ponder (or fresh celery). Careful on the salt though. Everything except the peas and carrots has salt in it.
If I don’t want to use cream of chicken soup doors anyone know an easy roux recipe?
