How To Make The Recipe
Start by adding the boneless chicken breasts to a slow cooker. Next, spread the two cans of condensed chicken soup over the chicken.
Add the minced onions and butter to the Crock Pot. Pour in the chicken broth, cover with the lid, and cook on low for seven hours.
After the chicken cooks for seven hours, shred it. Then, cut the biscuits into smaller pieces. I did it here with a pizza cutter to get it done fast. Then, add the biscuits to the slow cooker and submerge each one so that they cook in the liquid.
Cook another 30-45 minutes on high until the biscuits are cooked through. Break them apart to make sure they are cooked in the center and no longer gooey.
Optional Ingredients
- Sprinkle with some salt and pepper, if needed.
- Frozen veggies – pick your favorite and add them when you start cooking biscuits.
Storage and Reheating
Store any chicken and dumpling leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. To reheat one serving, add it to a saucepan on the stovetop. Pour in about 1/4 cup of chicken broth and cook until heated through. If you’d like to microwave, follow the same instructions, but cook in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in increments of one minute until heated through.

tried a few of your recipes. loved the recipes i have tried so far. keep them coming please. thankyou.
Thank you so much!
I wonder if homemade slick dumplings would work and how long they would need to cook in place of the biscuits.
They would definitely work! I don’t think they would take long to cook, though. Especially if they are thinner than biscuits. I would say cook for 20 minutes or so.
In the South, most of us prepare flat dumplings. I would use refrigerated biscuits that have layers. Peel the layers and flatten them with a rolling pin and slice into short strips. It probably won’t be as good as dumplings made from scratch, but I would think that the convenience would be worth it.
Such a great idea! Thanks, Joseph!
