Slowcooker Chicken and Dumplings
Slow Cooker Chicken and Dumplings Recipe
Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 can chicken broth
2 small cans cream of chicken soup
1 cup milk
2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 lb sliced carrots
4 ribs of celery, sliced
1 medium onion, diced
1/2 bag frozen peas
8 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 can biscuit dough
Preparation:
Step 1: Place the cubed chicken breasts at the bottom of the slow cooker.
Step 2: Pour the chicken broth over the chicken. Add the cream of chicken soup and milk to the slow cooker and stir to combine.
Step 3: Add the garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir the mixture to ensure the seasonings are well distributed.
Step 4: Add the sliced carrots, celery, and diced onion to the slow cooker. Stir to mix the vegetables with the chicken and broth.
Step 5: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6 hours.
Step 6: About 30 minutes before serving, add the frozen peas and cooked, crumbled bacon to the slow cooker. Stir to combine.
Step 7: Tear or cut the biscuit dough into small pieces and add them to the slow cooker. These will form the dumplings. Stir gently to mix them into the broth.
Step 8: Increase the heat to high and cook for an additional 30 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through.
COOKING Note:
Check the consistency of the broth before adding the dumplings. If it’s too thick, you can add a little more chicken broth or water.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve the chicken and dumplings hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
A side of crusty bread or a green salad complements this dish well.
Tips:
For a lighter version, use low-fat milk and reduced-fat cream of chicken soup.
The biscuit dough can be homemade or store-bought. If using store-bought, look for a brand that offers a flaky and buttery texture.
