Healthier Slow Cooker Chicken and Dumplings

I made the recipe pretty much according to the directions. I didn’t know whether or not the use condensed soup with or without adding liquid, I added a can of milk. It was a little liquid,so I did add a little corn starch at the end to thicken it up. I also added a little parsley, basil, and garlic powder for flavoring. It all tasted very good and would do again. The problem was with the “dumplings.” They did not cook fully in the crock pot even after 45 minutes. We had to throw them out.

make your own dumplings, and also use low sodium soup to reduce the sodium.

This was hands down the best chicken and dumplings I have ever had. Absolutely delicious and very easy to make.

I read the reviews before making the recipes. I fixed this on the stove top. I made some short cuts. I parboiled the chicken and shredded it. Saved the chicken broth. Added canned carrots and peas. Plus my spices were chicken poultry, thyme and black pepper. Cooked an hour added some of the saved chicken broth brought to boil and also rolled my biscuit fourths in flour. It turned out wonderful. My husband said I had a hit. He ate two bowls.

I’ve made this many times and a big hit every time!

After reading reviews about needing more liquid and flavor I added half a can of low sodium chicken broth and some Italian seasoning in the beginning. I shredded the chicken before adding the carrots and also added celery. Used store bought southern-style biscuit dough and it took about 35-40 mins to finish. My hubby likes the broth thicker so I added a splash of whole milk before serving. This recipe was very easy and probably would have still been great without my changes. It turned out delicious, we’ve been loving the leftovers!

This definitely needed more peas and carrots which I added, need all the veggies we can get. Also added more chicken broth (low salt, no fat). Only used 3 chicken breasts. Added ground pepper. Used Grands biscuits, cut them in half and then 3 each side. Cook 1.5 hours on low, stirred a few times. Hubby had 3 bowls! Good base recipe, adjust to your own needs.

This was good, but it was thicker than I was expecting.

Really easy to make. Some ratings says it lacks flavor, but I don’t think so. I use chicken broth when mixing the chicken soup, maybe that helps, and season to your taste. Husband loves and asks for this. Easy crock pot meal, especially for snowed in days. Might seem a bit on the thinner side but once you add the biscuits mine thickens up- Oh and the dumplings 🙂 they always come out perfect! Will continue to make this.

Family loved it!! Used 4 frozen chicken breasts and added a clover of garlic. And my family literally ate it up!! I work an 8 hour day so it was in the crock for a good 9 1/2 hours but not burned! I also added about 3 cups of water after 8 hours then the biscuits so it was a little more soup-ish. And still delish!

Will have to make it again.

I added more butter and some freshly ground pepper. It came out fantastic and the kids asked me to make it again.

I made this today, good base recipe. I read the reviews stating it was bland and added 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp pepper, 1 tsp paprika, 1 tsp rosemary, 1 tsp thyme, 1 tablespoon fresh parsley roughly chopped, 4 cloves garlic, 3 bay leaves, and half a bag of frozen pearl onions into the pot when you start to cook the chicken. Remove the bay leaves before adding the biscuit dough. My family loved it, I will be making this again.

I loved this! I added thyme and only used one can or half the biscuit dough. I used all the butter it called for but used thighs instead of chicken breasts. Probably not as healthy but it was delicious! I used frozen peas and carrots to simplify. Need to cook them for about 15 minutes instead of 5. Will definitely make this again.

My family loves this dinner and I love how easy it is to make! As other reviews have said to boost the flavor I added my own spices; some poultry seasoning, garlic powder and some pepper. This recipe tastes better the next day too.

This recipe calls for frozen peas, but the directions fail to say when to them in.

My grandchildren, who are very picky eaters, loved it!! So did my 101 year old neighbor. I used the dark meat for more flavor and made the biscuits instead of using frozen biscuits. Liked it better than when I used frozen biscuits the month before.

I am a true novice and found this recipe easy to follow. I followed the suggestions of some other reviewers and added extra chicken broth and seasonings which helped produce a nice flavor. One point of confusion for me was the ingredient, “one cup of natural chicken soup”. Wasn’t sure what that meant and ended up using condensed which seemed fine. I also added portobello mushroom slices which gave it it even more flavor. I used Pillsbury Garands, tore them into smaller pieces and cooked them for one hour. Seemed fine. All in all, a very flavorful result!

chicken dry!

We just finished this for dinner and it was amazing! I added a dash or two of poultry seasoning, oregano, minced onion and a clove of garlic. My husband even went back for seconds!

This was a delicious dish!! I added celery, 2 cans of cream of chicken soup, maybe 1 and a half cups of water, along with a can of chicken broth. Put all the ingredients in except the peas and dumplings the last hour. Cooked on low for 6 hours and high the last hour adding peas and flour coated whole wheat biscuits. It was very flavorful and we loved it! Thanks for a great dish!
