This easy Crockpot Chicken and Dumplings recipe is pure comfort food—tender shredded chicken, a creamy broth, and soft biscuit dumplings that cook right in the slow cooker. No baking, no browning, no fuss. Just dump everything in and let the crockpot work its magic.
Add chicken, cream of chicken soup, cream of celery soup, broth, onion, celery, and seasonings to the Crockpot. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours until the chicken is tender.
Remove the chicken, shred it with two forks, and return it to the Crockpot. Stir in frozen peas and carrots.
Cut biscuit dough into small 1-inch pieces and gently place them on top of the chicken mixture. Do not stir.
Cover and cook on high for another 1 hour, or until the biscuit dough is puffed and cooked through (center should not be raw).
Stir in heavy cream, and let it warm through for a few minutes. To serve, ladle into bowls and garnish with chopped parsley!
Notes
Cut the biscuit dough into small 1-inch pieces to ensure they cook through properly.
Add the frozen peas and carrots after shredding the chicken to avoid overcooking them.
Once you add the biscuit dough, avoid stirring. Let the dumplings sit on top and steam until cooked through.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently with a splash of broth or milk.
