Its was 20 degrees this morning when I woke up… I had my Hubby and oldest son home sick today! I decided it was time for something easy on the belly yet fills them up… Chicken & Dumplings it is!
Doing it in the Crock-Pot means less work for me… The chicken pulls apart practically by itself and besides tossing the dumplings in at the end there is not much to it!

Crock Pot Chicken and Dumplings
Here is what you’ll need:
- 4 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
- 2 Tbls Butter
- 1 can Cream of Chicken soup
- 1 can Cream of Celery soup
- 4 cups Chicken Broth
- 1-2 cups Water
- 2 Chicken Bouillon cubes
- 1/2 Onion finely chopped
- 4 Carrots peeled and chopped or shredded
- 4 Celery chopped
- Pepper
Here is what you’ll need for the Dumplings:
- 1/3 cup Butter
- 1/3 cup Milk
- 1 tsp Yeast
- 1/3 cup warm Water
- 2 Eggs
- 1/3 cup Sugar
- 3/4 tsp Salt
- 3 cups Flour

You got all that?? I had to go get some celery down at the store… but I had everything else in the cupboards and fridge! Okay, Let’s get started…



Two different options here…. Cook on Low for 8 hours then start the Dumplings process… or
Cook on High for 4 hours Pull the chicken apart with two forks and start the Dumplings.









Cover and let rest for 20 minutes





(Use a cutting board if you care about your countertops! Mine are origanal ’76er’s … you can’t do much to hurt them… they don’t mind, they’re use to it!)


Just so you know… if you don’t want to make your own dumplings you can always just add a can of those refrigerated biscuits (with the additives and the unknown of how long they have been packaged for) But why not try it from Scratch 😉
Like this??? Try my Ham Bone and Potato Soup or Homemade Chicken and Biscuits

Chicken and Dumplings is a favorite in our house! Some day I will be motivated to make my own dumplings from scratch 🙂
I love anything I can do in the crockpot. Thanks for this!
YUM!!!! It’s definitely the season for chicken stew-like entrees, and yours looks awesome! I love doing something similar, and then taking the easy way out by draping puff pastry over it all and baking it. 😉

Ahhhh comfort food. Looks delicious.
This looks so amazingly yummy! I really want to try it out!
I liked everything except the dumplings. Mine turned out flat and gummy. I like fluffy dumplings and normally use a drop biscuit recipe. Next time I will use the 20 minute biscuit recipie for the dumplings.
Great recipies
