This easy Crockpot Chicken and Dumplings recipe has become the unofficial snow day dinner in our house. When the weatherman so much as hints at a flurry or two (a big deal in SC!), I make sure I have all the ingredients I need on hand. Nothing warms you like a big ole bowl of creamy dumplings, so even if the forecasted flurries turn out to be nothing more than cold rain, our bellies are still full and happy.
It snowed yesterday!!!! The second snow of the year (probably the last), and the biggest one so far. The temperature never made it below 32 degrees, so there was hardly any accumulation, but the flakes were big and fat and my daughter was able to make a tiny snowman with snow from the top of the car. It was a good day!
To celebrate, I slaved away in the kitchen rolling out dumplings from scratch from dusk till dawn.
Just kidding.
I threw all the ingredients for chicken and dumplings in the crockpot, sat by the fire, and watched Kung Fu Panda 2 with my family. Correction, it was a great day.
This is how I make it.
These are the ingredients for the ‘soup’ portion of the meal. The most labor intensive part of the whole meal is chopping the vegetables, which I don’t mind. IMO chopping vegetables with a good knife is somewhat relaxing.
Once the slicing and dicing is done, we can layer everything into the crockpot. Dumping everything in would probably work just as well, but it will not be as pretty. Seasoning properly is also a lot harder that way.
Begin by placing the chicken in the bottom of the crockpot and seasoning with salt and pepper. Top with the can of cream of chicken soup, followed by the vegetables, garlic, 1 teaspoon of chicken base, and one tablespoon of butter. Season the vegetables with salt and pepper, and cover everything with the carton (4 cups) of chicken stock. Place the lid on and cook on high for 3-5 hours, or on low for 6-8 hours.
Once the chicken and vegetables are cooked, remove the chicken thighs and shred.
Chicken thighs are so buttery and delicious cooked this way. Chicken breast will work, but try the thighs. They taste so much better!
Moving on to the dumplings. Grab two small cans, or one normal size can of ‘junior’ size biscuits with flaky layers. This matters. ‘Grand’ sized biscuits are too big. They swell to the size of golf balls, and the insides are dry, with the texture of, well, biscuits. The inside of proper southern dumplings should be similar to gnocchi. Light and fluffy, but moist. It should not be like biting into a wet biscuit.
Remove the biscuits from the can, and pull the biscuit layers apart. Then tear each layer into thirds.
With the crockpot on high, drop the biscuit pieces into the simmering liquid, making sure to spread them around so they do not stick together. Do not stir anymore than you have to, or the dumplings will fall apart. I usually swirl the pan after a few biscuits to prevent sticking, or use a ladle to find an empty hole to drop the biscuit dough pieces in.
Cover the crockpot, and cook for 30 minutes.
Return the shredded chicken to the pot and check for seasoning. Stir and serve.
Buttery, creamy, comforting. Homestyle decadence in a bowl.

Been using Tenobet since roughly February so I reckon I have a fair bit of experience to actually comment. Stumbled on it through a mate of mine who wanted somewhere with proper lobby depth that didnt have the usual deposit limit nagging you run into now on the UKGC sites. Right important bit: its not UKGC licensed and its not on GamStop which is either the point or a dealbreaker. Lobbys pretty huge — somewhere around 3000 games last I looked and the providers that matter are all there: Pragmatic Net Ent Play n GO BTG Yggdrasil Microgaming. Personally I grind Sweet Bonanza plus Sweet Bonanza which both behave properly in browser. Live dealers all Evolution so you know exactly what you expect — real croupiers Crazy Time and Lightning Roulette when I fancy a punt on something daft. Theres a sportsbook too which Ive used a handful of times for the football decent odds nothing groundbreaking. On the sign-up offer is a 100 match to ?125 with 100 free spins you have to use the promo code JOIN002 at deposit otherwise it just doesnt apply. Do read the terms before you commit its not the loosest either. Theres no no-deposit bonus that I could find. For the the live offers youll find them at tenobet sport if youre curious. Min deposits ?10 the form took maybe two minutes. Payments have been the better half for me. Visa and Mastercard work Skrill and Neteller are there and crypto if you prefer. E-wallet withdrawals have come through within a day; card payouts took closer to three days. My main gripe was KYC — they took about two days to verify me which held up the first payout just sat there until that cleared. Not dodgy just slower than Id like. Couple of niggles: they dont have an app so youre on mobile browser only. Honestly its fine on my iPhone though I do miss having one. The login sometimes gets a bit slow at peak times. Customer service at Tenobet is fine — maybe five minutes to get a human though the opening messages are copy-paste. Get past the script and they sort it.
Magnificent goods from you, man. I have understand your stuff previous to and you are just too magnificent.
