Cindy’s Crock-Pot Chicken and Dumplings

Cindy posted this recipe on Face Book, and it is truly as simple as opening cans. Some of the best recipes are mixing canned goods together. These are quick, super simple and tasty to make recipes that can be thrown into a crock-pot while you are flying out the door to work. When you return not only dinner is ready, but clean up will be quick as well.

Here is the recipe as I got it. It is a true, "I make it so much, I just use eyeball it" recipe.

Chicken breast
cream of chicken soup (big family can)
readymade biscuits (like Pillsbury)
celery
carrots
peas
chicken broth

In a crock pot mix the box of chicken broth with the large can of cream of chicken soup. Season. Put in chicken breasts. Cook on low until chicken is really tender. About an hour or so before you are ready to eat put in vegetables and take biscuits and pinch off small amounts and put in crock pot. Put as many in as you like. Sometimes I cut them in small squares, but I am usually rushing so there is not time for that.

When I made the recipe, I did not have a large family can of soup or chicken broth. I do believe I achieved a close knock off. I do have one suggestion, if you can find the heart healthy or low salt versions of the soup use them. If not, add a raw potato to the pot when you add the biscuits. Using canned soup and vegetables can be a bit salty for those on a restriction diet.

4 frozen chicken breasts

1 10 3/4 ounce can Campbell’s Cream of Celery soup

1 10 3/4 ounce can Campbell’s Cream of Chicken soup

2 10 3/4 ounce can Campbell’s Cream of Chicken with herbs soup

Pillsbury flaky home-style Grand’s Biscuits

½ cup minced onions

½ cup of peas and carrots (frozen or drained can)

4 cups of water

2 chicken bouillon cubes

Paprika

Directions:

Place bouillon cubes and water in glass measuring cup, in microwave heat to a boil

 Place frozen chicken breast, soups and chicken bouillon in Crock-pot, cook on low for 6 to 8 hours

Remove chicken from broth and shred, return to pot with peas, carrots and minced onion

Cut raw biscuits into small pieces, I cut mine into 8 small pieces, as if I was slicing a pizza

Add cut up biscuits to pot and sprinkle with paprika lightly over the entire top.

Cook for one hour.
