🛒 WHAT YOU’LL NEED
🍗 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
🥕 2 cups carrots, sliced
🧅 1 small onion, diced
🌿 2 stalks celery, sliced
🧄 2 cloves garlic, minced
🥣 4 cups chicken broth
🥫 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
🧂 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
🧂 ½ teaspoon salt
🌶️ ½ teaspoon black pepper
🌿 ½ teaspoon dried thyme
For the Dumplings:
🥛 1 cup milk
🧈 2 tablespoons melted butter
🥣 2 cups biscuit mix
👩🍳 HOW TO MAKE IT
1️⃣ LOAD THE CROCKPOT
Place the chicken in the bottom of your slow cooker.
Add the carrots, onion, celery, and garlic.
2️⃣ MAKE IT FLAVORFUL
Whisk together the chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, poultry seasoning, thyme, salt, and pepper.
Pour the mixture over the chicken and vegetables.
3️⃣ LET THE CROCKPOT WORK ITS MAGIC
Cover and cook on LOW for 5–6 hours, or until the chicken reaches 165°F and is tender.
Remove the chicken and shred it with two forks.
Return the shredded chicken to the crockpot.
4️⃣ MAKE THE DUMPLING DOUGH
In a bowl, combine the biscuit mix, milk, and melted butter.
Stir just until combined. Don't overmix—you want those dumplings light and tender. ☁️
5️⃣ ADD THE DUMPLINGS
Drop spoonfuls of the dough over the hot chicken mixture.
Cover and cook on HIGH for about 45–60 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through.
Try not to keep lifting the lid while they're cooking. The trapped steam helps them become fluffy!
6️⃣ SERVE IT HOT! 🥣
Spoon the creamy chicken and vegetables into bowls and top with plenty of those soft, fluffy dumplings.
Grab a big spoon and enjoy! ❤️
✨ EASY WAYS TO MAKE IT YOUR OWN
🥔 Add diced potatoes for an even heartier meal.
🌽 Toss in frozen peas or corn near the end.
🌿 Add fresh parsley before serving.
🧅 Love onions? Add a little extra.
🍗 Prefer dark meat? Boneless chicken thighs work beautifully and stay especially tender.
💡 A LITTLE TIP
For the best dumplings, keep the lid closed while they're cooking.
Opening the crockpot repeatedly releases the steam and can increase the cooking time.
And if your chicken mixture seems especially thick, add a small splash of warm broth before serving.
