I made this on the stovetop, simmering the chicken & onions in the water for 40 minutes before adding the soups, then bringing back to a simmer before adding the biscuits. I then simmered everything, covered, for about 15 minutes, and it was perfect. :)

This recipe was super easy and absolutely delicious! I added chicken broth in place of water so I needed no bouillon cube and I used only one can of biscuits which turned out to be plenty. I also omitted the carrots and onions. I cooked my biscuits on high for 45 min instead of the 30min and I stirred the biscuits about every ten min so they could completely cook. Also when you lift the lid to stir, the delicious smells embody the room and make your mouth water with anticipation.

This is the only way to fix chicken n dumplings. Chunks of tender white meat chicken in a rich broth with fluffy dumplings. I made a couple of adjustments and the rating is based on those changes. I used chicken broth in place of the water and left off the chicken bouillon cube. I used only 1 pack of the biscuits which were cut in quarters and found that to be plenty. A 3/4 teaspoon of poulty seasoning was added to the pot and there were left over peas in the fridge which were thrown in along with the dumplings. This made a very comforting meal.

Yum!! Turned out really well, many thanks for the original poster and subsequent reviewers. I made a few changes based on what I had on hand. Only two chicken breasts, though large, one can cream of celery plus one can cream of chicken, a 10oz package of frozen peas, one cup chicken broth plus one cup white wine instead of water and a bouillon cubes, and a pinch of sage, thyme and rosemary. Only needed one can of refrigerated biscuits, and those did take a good extra hour rather than the half indicated. Very, very tasty and satisfying!

Thanks so much for this recipe! I made a few changes for time and taste - First, I added a bag of frozen mixed vegetables which I partially thawed prior to mixing in. Second, since I didn't have time for the crockpot tonight, I baked for 1 hour at 350, added the biscuits, then baked for another 30 minutes. My husband approved!
