    My Easy Crock Pot Chicken and Dumplings recipe features hassle-free ingredients, as well as fresh herbs for that classic homemade taste!

    Do you ever wish you were born in a different era? As I sit here listening to Louis Armstrong wail on the trumpet I can't help but wax nostalgically about living in a simpler time when everything was made from scratch, cigarettes were healthy, and the fedora was king.

    Easy Crock Pot Chicken and Dumplings


    However, I quickly realize if I lived a hundred years ago blogging would be a slightly less lucrative profession, the prevailing mindset of health professionals wouldn't make cigarettes any less deadly, and I wouldn't have a slow cooker to make a traditionally labor-intensive meal, like chicken and dumplings, so dang simple!

    The secret to making this recipe so easy is the use of refrigerated biscuit dough. Making dumplings from scratch isn't overly difficult if you are so inclined, but it is intimidating for many people. Simply unrolling refrigerated biscuit dough is effortless and still provides equally great results! Alternatively, some people make dumplings with Bisquick, but refrigerated biscuit dough is easier.

    You can use any refrigerated biscuit dough, but I really think buttermilk biscuit dough is perfect for this recipe.

    How to Make Chicken and Dumplings in CrockPot

    It goes without saying, you will need a slow cooker for this recipe. Well, any slow cooker actually. A 5 or 6 quart crock pot would be ideal for making Crock Pot Chicken and Dumplings. 

    This recipe is specifically designed to eliminate as much prep work as possible. Almost all of the ingredients can simply be dumped right into your slow cooker. However, this doesn't mean flavor is being sacrificed. The key to achieving that classic homemade chicken and dumplings flavor is using fresh herbs. They really stand out in the final dish!

      Can I cook it on low for 8 hours instead of high for 4?

        Yes, cooking on low won't be a problem.

      Do you chop up the rosemary, thyme, and sage or just throw the sprigs in for added flavor?

        I just use the sprigs and remove them when serving.

      Why did my dumplings completely melt away. It's like they disintegrated. Is it possible from over cooking them?

        How long did you cook the dumplings? Were you using refrigerated buttermilk biscuit dough, or did you substitute something else?

        I have made this recipe many times my family loves it. I have noticed that if you use the flaky type of biscuit dough the dough breaks down and doesnt cook up right.

      This recipe was so easy and it came out delicious even though I didn't have all of the seasonings it called for. I will definitely make it again.

      Am I understanding right that the peas and carrots go in after the biscuit dough? Do they get stirred in or what? Thanks.

        That is correct. Yes, you will want to stir them.
