Warm up with our easy slow cooker chicken and dumplings recipe!
Here’s a soup to put on the meal plan this week!
If you’re in the mood for an ultra-comforting meal that’s also pretty low-effort, check out this simple chicken and dumplings recipe using the Crock-Pot!
The result is a creamy hearty soup with veggies and chicken topped with pieces of store-bought flaky biscuit dough as the dumplings.
This recipe has an easy two-part process. You will be cooking the veggies and chicken in the broth first. Once that is cooked, shred the chicken and then cut and cook the biscuit pieces on the top of soup. This is a very yummy and easy shortcut for the dumplings. I love how pillowy and fluffy they end up.

Extra tips for making this chicken and dumplings recipe with biscuits:
- I accidentally bought the honey-flavored biscuits and it turned out to be a happy accident. They were pretty yummy.
- You can use chicken breasts, chicken tenders, or thigh meat.
- Can I make this on the stove? Yes! It actually would be quite faster to sautee the veggies first, add the chicken and broth and simmer for about 20 minutes until the chicken is tender and able to shred easily. Then you would add the biscuits on top and let them cook until done.
- Love my Crock-Pot? I do too! It’s the 6-quart Beautiful brand slow cooker from Walmart. I love the lid rest and large size.
