    I made this for a dinner and it was delicious! Not so much a hit with the kids, we’re in Massachusetts and I don’t think they really understand the whole Southern thing…but oh man, the adults ate this right up! I’m going to cut the recipe in half and make it for dinner for my family of 3 tonight. I left out the bacon and onions because my husband and I aren’t fans of one or both, but it still came out fab! Thank you!

    Making this today. I’ve made many chicken and dumplings. From scratch to one that uses round flour tortillas cut in strips instead of biscuits. All are good. None as good a my Aunts. Then comes the bacon.. I added peas and not a drop left.
    Thank you so much., It’s a hit!

    I tweaked it a bit & my fiancée had 2 full bowls!!!
    First, I doubled the recipe, but used 2 cans of cream of mushroom in addition to the 2 cans of cream of chicken. I used milk in addition to chicken broth. I chopped & added celery & sauteed the onion & some garlic with already cooked bacon bits. I think I put it in the stratosphere by adding a package of sausage gravy mix instead of flour. I started by spreading some on parchment paper, then took each individual biscuit and put the powdered mix on them & rolled them out with a rolling pin before cutting with a pizza cutter. I was also lazy in that I used 4 big cans of chicken so it didn’t have to cook so long. One hour on high, 2 on low, then put in 2 8oz containers of sliced mushrooms. As soon as it came to boil again, I began adding the pieces of dough. Turned back to low for an hour & stirred frequently.

    I just made your crock pot chicken and dumplings. I work a lot of hours and it was a super simple recipe. I liked the flavor but I think next time I will use a little more broth and add some herbs. Thank you for posting it.

    Hi! The total time says 4 hours 10 minutes but in the description it says cook on low for 6 hours and high for 1 hour. Which is it?

    Reply

    • Heidi says

      Hi Ellen ~ the total time of 4 hours and 10 minutes is stating the time if cooked on High: 10 minutes Prep + 3 hours on High + 1 hour after the biscuits are added.

      If cooking on Low for the initial portion… your total time will be 7 hours and 10 minutes: 10 minutes Prep + 6 hours on Low + 1 hour after the biscuits are added.

      Hope that helps!

    Do you have to use the flaky biscuits or can you use the regular ones? Our meal in the crockpot right now, but I just noticed the picture has the flaky biscuits.

      I make this all the time. No you don’t have to use flaky biscuits. I use the grands buttery biscuits. Family loves it!

    I plan on making this over the weekend, will turkey bacon work as an alternative? And thanks for this recipe!

  14. Vicki L. Stevenson says

    I noticed the picture showed flaky biscuits. You said to cut up in 8 pieces. Now do you cut the whole biscuit or separate then cut ?

    • Heidi says

      Hi Gina ~ it serves approximately 8. I’m not sure how doubling it in a 6 quart crockpot would work… I used a 5 quart and it was pretty full. If doubling, I might try a 7 quart or use two 4 quarts. If you try doubling it in a 6 though, let me know how it goes!

    I have made this before from other sites. This by far is the best one,even my kids noticed this one was superior!

      Hi Shelly ~ I honestly haven’t tried adding carrots or peas to this recipe, but if you do… let me know how it turns out!

      Hi Kristen ~ I honestly don’t know… I have a hungry hubby and two teenage boys, so there are never any leftovers. 😉 If you make it and have leftovers, let me know how that goes!

    This was so easy to make an my husband an 2 kids loved it so I doubled the batch thinking I would have leftovers for lunch I was wrong it is a well loved dish in my house. Could you turn it on low an cook it?

    Reply

    • Heidi says

      Hi Jenn ~ I’m so glad your family loved it! If cooking on LOW, try 7 – 8 hours total time, or until the chicken is done. Every Crockpot cooks a little differently, so you’ll just want to keep an eye on it near the end. 🙂
