Description
A warm and comforting dish of tender chicken and fluffy dumplings cooked in a rich, creamy broth, perfect for busy weeknights.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 can of cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
- 1 can of biscuit dough (or dumpling mix)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large crockpot, toss in the chicken breasts, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, mixed vegetables, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir gently to combine everything.
- Slow Cooking: Set your crockpot to cook on low for 360-480 minutes or on high for 240 minutes, allowing the chicken to become tender and fully cooked.
- Shred the Chicken: Once the chicken is cooked, use two forks to shred it directly in the crockpot, mixing it into the creamy broth.
- Prepare the Dumplings: Open the can of biscuit dough and cut each biscuit into quarters.
- Add Dumplings to the Crockpot: Gently stir the biscuit pieces into the mixture in the crockpot, ensuring they merge with the broth.
- Finish Cooking: Cover the crockpot and cook on high for an additional 30-45 minutes or until the dumplings are fluffy and cooked through.
- Serve and Enjoy: Ladle the creamy chicken and dumplings into bowls and gather your family around to enjoy this heartwarming feast.
