This is the easiest crock pot chicken and dumpling recipe ever! It's really kid friendly, too. My picky eater DS ate 3 helpings!

2 chicken breast--boneless/skinless (I just wanted to add that I've been using 2 lbs. chicken thighs instead...the breasts were too dry for me)
1 can cream chicken soup
2 T margarine
2 cans biscuits
1 soup can of water

Put the chicken breasts in a crockpot, top w/ soup, margarine, and water. Cook on low 6-8 hours or high 3-4 hours. Then, shred the chicken w/ 2 forks and stir. 45 minutes before serving (turn to "high" if cooking on "low"), add cut up biscuits.

Very simple and very good!!

I got this recipe here on the DIS and I'm glad I found it. I make it at least 2 times a month this winter!

Yummy! I will have to try both of these. I have a great friend who makes it homemade in a pressure cooker but they make me nervous.

I made the Chicken and Dumplings with the canned biscuits but found the biscuits to be a bit undercooked. I cooked them for the directed 45 minutes on high. Is there a way to tell if the dumplings are adequately cooked before serving?

Thanks for these, they sound great.

Hmm, 45 minutes was fine for me. If you want, just play around with the time. I know that with my crock pot, things cook faster than others. If, for example, a recipe calls for me to cook something for 6-8 hours on low, my crock pot will be done in 4-6 hours.

Next time, maybe try one of the dumplings and see if it's done to your satisfaction.

Sorry!
