👩🍳 How to Make Crock Pot Chicken and Dumplings
1. Layer the Base
Place the diced onion into the bottom of your slow cooker, spreading it evenly. Lay the chicken thighs on top in a single layer.
2. Mix the Creamy Sauce
In a separate bowl, combine:
-
Cream of chicken soup
-
Cream of celery soup
-
Poultry seasoning
-
Chopped parsley
-
Black pepper to taste
Stir until smooth, then pour the mixture over the chicken.
3. Add Broth
Pour the chicken broth into the crock pot, covering everything.
4. Set It and Forget It
Cover the crock pot and cook on high for 5 hours. Don’t lift the lid until the final hour — trust the process!
5. Add Veggies and Shred Chicken
With 1 hour remaining, open the lid. Add the thawed mixed vegetables and gently stir. Shred the chicken directly in the pot as you mix.
6. Prepare the Dumplings
Open the can of biscuits and flatten each one slightly. Slice each biscuit into four strips. Lay the pieces on top of the chicken mixture inside the crock pot.
7. Finish Cooking
Cover and cook for the final hour. The biscuit pieces will puff up into tender dumplings. Before serving, stir everything gently to incorporate the dumplings throughout the mixture.
🌿 To Serve
Ladle into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
