By á-23570

Slow cooker chicken and dumpling are a perfect meal for a cold day. Put the chicken in the crockpot in the morning, come home and add the refrigerated biscuits to finish cooking the meal.

Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless and skinless chicken breasts, about 3
• 2 tablespoons butter, unsalted
• 2 (10.75-ounce) cans condensed cream of chicken soup
• 1 (10.75-ounce) can chicken broth
• 1 medium white onion, diced
• 4 large flaky refrigerator biscuits
• Optional: peas or baby carrots

Preparation

Step 1

Place chicken breasts in a slow cooker and top with butter. Mix the cream of chicken soup, chicken broth and diced onions in a medium size bowl. Pour the soup mixture over the chicken breasts. Cook on high for 4-6 hours.

Remove chicken from slow cooker and use a fork to shred. Return chicken to the crock pot. Cut each uncooked biscuit into 9 pieces and stir into the chicken mixture. Continue to cook on high for 30 minutes.

If you'd like, add some frozen peas and/or carrots when you add the biscuits, and increase the final cooking time to about 45 minutes.
