This Slow Cooker Chicken and Dumplings is the perfect family-friendly and super easy dinner idea you need to try. I love my slow cooker
and use it all the time and this has always been a favorite slow cooker recipe of mine.
Cooking these chicken and dumplings in the slow cooker made our chicken so tender and juicy!
I’ve been making this recipe for years and love it more and more each time I make it. If you like this recipe and want to find even more slow cooker recipes make sure to stop by my slow cooker page under recipes.
You all know I love an easy recipe! I even added some baby carrots to this meal This way I didn’t have to make a side veggie! Everything was cooking together. I also used refrigerated biscuits
to make this meal even easier to put together.
How to make Slow Cooker Chicken and Dumplings:
- Tip: For this recipe, I used a 6-quart slow cooker.
Cooking Directions:
Step two: Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-6 hours.
Step four: Serve when chicken and biscuits are fully cooked.
- Tip: Keep an eye on your biscuits and check them before serving. Depending on your slow cooker it could take more time for them to cook through.
Common Questions:
Can I double this recipe: In my 6-quart slow cooker after the biscuits cooked it was pretty full and I would not have been able to double it.
Can I skip the cream of chicken soup: I love the creamy flavor the soup gives this recipe. You instead can use a homemade version made with broth, cream, and flour.
How to freeze this recipe: Once your recipe is fully cooked allow it to cool completely. Once cooled place it in a freezer-safe airtight container. Freeze for up to 3 months then place in the fridge to defrost overnight. Reheat on the stovetop and add more broth as needed.

Hi! This looks great…but cook on high for 5 hours or low? I’m going to throw everything in with some frozen corn for 8 hours on low…add the biscuits and kick up to high for and hour or more. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Leena! So sorry that was missed in this recipe. I cooked it on high for about 5 hours and 7 on low. Enough to get your chicken cooked and tender. I think the 8 hours with the frozen corn on low would be perfect. I hope you enjoy the recipe!!
Crockpot meals are a family staple at my house! I am defiantly going to have to try this recipe!
Yes! Here too Jennifer we love the crockpot!!
This is such a easy way to get those delicious looking chicken – n- dumplings on the table. Thanks for sharing at the #HomeMattersParty
