Chicken & Dumplings Like Grandma's (Crock-Pot)

"Kid approved chicken & dumplings made in the crockpot, with easy ingredients to throw into the crockpot in the morning before work. My son says this is as good as his Grandma's, so it must be pretty good! Note: Prep time does not include cooking the chicken...use already prepared chicken."

This was amazing, It was the very best Chicken & Dumplings I have ever had. The whole family loved it. After reading all the reviews I decide to double the recipe, so we would have leftovers. I am so glad I did. This was great thank you for sharing. I will surely be making this again, and very soon.

We really enjoyed this version of chicken and dumplings. I used the meat from a rotisserie chicken and I substituted chicken broth for the water. I added one additional can of soup (plus half the additional ingredients) as I had more chicken than the 2 cups. Also, I used jumbo biscuits so I divided them into 6 pieces each. DH loves the dumplings more than the chicken. : ) Made for the FYC tag game.

Instead of following my instinct I followed the recipe. I read other recipes and they all said to add the biscuits later on in the cooking process. This recipe has everything going in at the same time. There is no instructions to let the chicken cook and add the biscuits 20 mins or an hour or two before completions. Bad idea. My advise to anyone using this recipe to add the biscuits about an hour before you are ready to serve.

LOVE IT!! My modifications are to add 2 boxes Purdue Grilled chicken strips (comes to about 5c per the package), and to use only 1 cup of water. Then I added 1/2 bag of mixed veggies and some Bouquet Garni. This literally takes 5 minutes to dump everything together after school, then we can all go running to sports, errands and WHATEVER and come home to a yummy dinner. Thanks for sharing!

My kids (15 & 17) circled the crock pot like vultures while waiting for it to finish. We loved it! There is a lot of liquid to this, but I took the top off like someone below recommended for the last 20 min. I used chicken broth as opposed to water & bouillon, & 2 cans of cream of chicken as we're not fans of cream of mushroom. I'm thinking next time I'll limit the broth to 1 and a half cans.
