Description

Cozy Slow Cooker Chicken Dumplings is a comforting American dinner recipe featuring tender chicken breasts, vibrant vegetables, and fluffy biscuit dumplings cooked low and slow in a creamy broth for ultimate warmth and satisfaction.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 cups chicken broth (use low-sodium for a healthier option)
  • 2 cans cream of chicken soup (about 2 cups)
  • 1 cup whole milk (substitute with almond milk for lighter touch)
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 4 medium carrots sliced
  • 4 celery ribs sliced
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 8 strips bacon cooked and crumbled
  • 1 can biscuit dough cut into small pieces

Instructions

  1. Prepare the base: In your slow cooker, combine chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, milk, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  2. Add main ingredients: Add the diced chicken, sliced carrots, sliced celery ribs, and diced onion to the slow cooker. Stir well to ensure every piece is coated evenly with the creamy sauce.
  3. Slow cook initial mixture: Secure the lid on the slow cooker and set it to low. Let it simmer for about 6 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
  4. Add peas and bacon: Gently mix in the crumbled bacon and frozen peas, distributing them evenly throughout the dish for added flavor and texture.
  5. Add biscuit dough dumplings: Place the small pieces of biscuit dough evenly across the surface of the slow cooker mixture. These will puff up to create fluffy dumplings as they cook.
  6. Cook dumplings: Turn the slow cooker to high and cover. Continue cooking for 1 hour, or until the dumplings are puffed up and fully cooked through.

Notes

  • Use low-sodium chicken broth and adjust salt as needed to control sodium content.
  • Substitute whole milk with almond milk for a lighter version, though it may affect creaminess.
  • Cook bacon separately to retain crispiness before adding to the slow cooker.
  • Ensure biscuit dough pieces are evenly spaced to allow even cooking and rising of dumplings.
  • This recipe serves 8 and is perfect for meal prep or cozy family dinners.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently to preserve dumpling texture.
