Instructions

  • Add all of the ingredients except for the biscuit dough to a 6 quart slow cooker and stir to combine.

Notes

Chicken: You can swap in chicken thighs if preferred.
Canned Soup: Our homemade chicken soup substitute can sometimes break in the slow cooker. We recommend using canned soup in this recipe for the best results.
Biscuits: Be sure to flatten the biscuits before cutting or they will not cook through properly. If they aren't cooked through, cover and continue cooking until they're done, checking every 15 minutes or so. 
Cook Times: Cook times may vary depending on your specific slow cooker. The chicken is done when it easily shreds and the dumplings are done when they have a dumpling like doughy texture.
Veggies: You can easily stir in a bag of frozen veggies here. We like a mix of peas and carrots. Be sure to defrost the vegetables first and toss them in with the biscuits.
