Try this classic recipe in the slow cooker. A true one-pot meal that you'll want to make often.
RECIPE:
INGREDIENTS:
1½ lbs. chicken breasts, cubed
10.5 oz. can cream of chicken soup
10.5 oz. can cream of celery soup
1 cup water
14½ oz. can chicken broth
2 carrots, sliced- about 2 cups after being sliced
2-3 celery ribs, sliced - about 2 cups after being sliced
1 yellow onion, diced
½ tsp. thyme
¼ tsp. black pepper
1 cup frozen peas - optional
16.3 oz. Pillsbury Grand Biscuits 8 biscuit sized can (note- I only use 7 of these biscuits)
more thyme and pepper for the top of biscuits
SLOW COOKER SIZE:
6-quart or larger
INSTRUCTIONS:
Add chicken, carrots, celery, onions, thyme, and black pepper to your slow cooker.
Add the cream of chicken soup, cream of celery soup, chicken broth and water. Stir.
Cook on HIGH For 4 hours or LOW for 8 hours.
Add peas at this point if you would like. Stir.
I only use 7 biscuits for this recipe. Cut the biscuits into quarters. Arrange the biscuit quarters evenly over the soup.
Sprinkle dumplings with a touch of thyme and pepper. Replace the lid.
Turn your slow cooker to HIGH.
Cover and cook on HIGH for 45 minutes (DO NOT OPEN THE LID DURING THIS TIME). You will know the dumplings are done when they are no longer shiny.
NOTE- If your slow cooker has switched over to warm after cooking for a length of time you will need to cook the dumplings for 1.5 hours so the slow cooker gets back up to temperature.

No jibber-jabber... just great instructive vid and right to the point with visual instructions that even I can follow easily and implement quickly on a busy day. Thanks a bunch. I never cared for chicken and dumplings in the past, but decided -- like most other foods -- that it has much to do with who makes it and how they make it. Since my hubby loves them, I'm gonna try this recipe and surprise him with it.

[@brittanybrewer287]

Agree 💯

[@bbbluff9473]

I’m eating this right now and it is really good. I followed the recipe exactly except I used two cans of cream of chicken instead of cream of celery, because that’s what I had on hand. Everything else I followed exactly and this is how I’m going to make chicken and dumplings from now on. So easy! And so good! Thank you for this great video.

[@TheMagicalSlowCooker]

I'm so glad you like it!!

[@karinamcivor]

Just put this in the crock pot now to try out, I added more seasonings like onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, thyme, and poultry seasoning. Not too much tho because the canned soups already have lots of salt, can’t wait to try this will update when it’s done, but so far it’s looking pretty good! 😊

Glad you enjoyed it!!

[@dorascott678]

How much water

[@Sebastian7659]

I’ve got this cooking right now. I’m a little worried about the biscuits. Probably doesn’t help that I grabbed the wrong kind (the flaky layered ones) so Im hoping if I still follow these instructions they’ll come out just as good. Really love how your videos are straight to the point with the instructions and ingredients below. I work from home and on my breaks try to prepare meals for dinner that night. So how quick and to the point you are helps tremendously.

[@TheMagicalSlowCooker]

Make sure to add your biscuits while the soup is still hot (not switched to warm for any length of time). Add the biscuits quickly and keep the lid on while they cook and you should be fine!

[@Sebastian7659]

Getting ready to do that within this next hour! I’m excited. Thank you so much!

[@sherrywardlow7946]

Can I use frozen chicken ( kind that is in the frozen part)

[@rsuffridge1]

@@sherrywardlow7946 I would say yes, but considering how long the recipe calls for cooking time I would suggest putting the chicken in partially frozen. Not fully, just partially. Also, cutting up half frozen chicken is a helluva lot easier than fully thawed.

[@Pythonette]

I notice she doesn't say whether to cook it on high, or on low for the 4 hrs. I find if you start out low for the first few bours, it helps to keep things moister.

[@RSNJessica]

i recently made this and i found that my dumplings were a bit undercooked in the middle, even after an additional 20 minutes, is there anything I can do differently? Love the recipes!

[@TheMagicalSlowCooker]

You really want to make sure your soup is hot before adding the dumplings, you don’t want it to switch to warm for any length of time before adding the dumplings. Keep the lid on the entire time and don’t use an off brand of biscuits. I hope they helps!

[@joshchavez8190]

If that doesn’t work you could always bake them first and then add them. Even if you just half baked them to start, and finished in crockpot. I was considering baking them first myself, because I like the texture better out the oven

[@rhondasheridan7049]

My first time seeing you. Your video is great. Just wondering if you would answer a question for me. Why does everyone use white chicken meat and not dark ? Upon my dads request, he has me make it with dark. The meat is better. ( could be because we like the dark chicken meat ) ???

[@TheMagicalSlowCooker]

Just like for holidays, many people don't like dark meat, so that's why I tend to use more chicken breasts. You can definitely use dark meat instead for any recipe!

[@kookiecat2803]

Great recipe but.i.just wonder the pillsbury biscuit cooking in the slow cocker have nice texture and flavor because they're not baked

[@TheMagicalSlowCooker]

They do puff up into a dumpling from unbaked. If you are leery about it you can bake them and just pour the soup over the cooked biscuit.

[@trwilli25]

I can confirm that this is better than Applebee’s

[@hollyhindle5656]

That looks incredible. What are 'biscuits?' They look the same as UK dumplings x

[@Solstice-gv5if]

Is really just a ball of dough that's been layered. .)

[@mycrazyfamilyid]

Like a roll but woth extra butter and you roll them out and fold them over several times so there are fluffy layers.

[@russellhunter8460]

Know its old video But question Does the biscuits actually cook or part of it cooked and the side in juice stay like doughie?

[@TheMagicalSlowCooker]

The biscuits do get done in the middle. But this recipe is finicky. In order for them to cook, the slow cooker must still be on low (not switched to warm) and after you add the biscuits and add the lid again, do not open the lid while they are cooking. And they will be cooked perfectly.

Tried this today and it hasn't gotten thick, it just looks like a thin soup. Still has an hour to go but what do I do if it hasn't thicken by then other than throwing it away? Tia

[@TheMagicalSlowCooker]

Chicken and dumplings is a soup, it will taste fine. You can add a mixture of cornstarch and cold water to thicken it.

[@TR-vr5pz]

Is the final "sauce" supposed to be so thin or runny or does it thicken up? Im at hour 7 and it seems very runny

[@TheMagicalSlowCooker]

It doesn't thicken up. If your is runny, add 2 tablespoons of water to 2 tablespoons of cornstarch. Add that before you add your dumplings.
