- 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
- 2 T. butter
- 2 small cans of condensed cream of chicken soup
- 2 carrots, peeled & chopped
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 stalk celery, washed well and chopped
- 2 (10 ounce) packages refrigerated biscuit dough, torn into pieces
1. Place the chicken, butter, soup, carrots, celery and onion in a crock pot.
2. Fill the crock with enough water to cover.
3. Cover. Cook for 5 to 6 hours on High, or 9 to 10 hours on Low.
4. About 30 minutes before serving, place the torn biscuit dough in the crock pot. Cook until the dough is no longer raw in the center.
Variation from a Facebook Friend: Omit water and vegetables, substitue with 3 cups chicken broth, and use bisquick drop dumplings instead of the biscuits. (Good substitute if you don’t have bisquits on hand!)
Happy Crocking!

Amazing!!! This was sooo good – I tweeked it for the likens of the kids but only reduced the chicken to 2 breasts, cubed it, and reduced the biscuits to 1 can. They were licking their plates. Okay, I was too. Great recipe!
I made this recipe last night and it was awesome. It was incredibly easy and my daughter, husband and I all loved it and I will definitely make it again!
I am curious how the biscuits cooked. Were they gooey at all? Does it take right at 30 minutes for them to cook all the way through or just a bit longer?
Could I add egg noodles to this? If so when should I add them?
If I want to cook on low, how long would it need to cook? Would 10 hours be ok? I leave the house at 8 and get home just before 6.
Carrie this is a great question! Every recipe is differfent, as every crock pot is different, but as a rule of thumb, one hour on High equals about 2 to 2 1/2 hours on Low. Depending on your crock pot you may want to add 1/4 of your can of soup mixture with chicken broth or water to add extra liquid to cook on Low. Happy Crocking!
WOW…I made this and it was delicious! (I did change 2 things: I used 1 can cream of chicken soup and 1 can cream of celery. and I used a small can of chicken broth instead of using water.) I shared the leftovers with my neighbors and I got a phone call for the recipe. They could not believe how easy it was to make. It’s good ol’ comfort food!
This was Delish!! I wouldnt change a thing! I cooked this on low for 9hrs and it was wonderful… family enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing all your wonderful recipes, sure helps a busy mom out!
I’m assuming the chicken breasts are not cooked when you put them in? If not, I just wasted 4 good chicken breasts…
Yes Susannah…that is correct! The chicken goes in raw, so it can cook in the juices. Happy Crocking!
This was AMAZING!! We all enjoyed it:)
I made my own dumplings from better homes and garden cookbook. They were really easy and good. A lot cheaper than store bought biscuits. Under chicken and dumplings
Just made this last night. Even my biggest food critic (mother of 4) said it was ‘pretty good’. Biscuits were gooey and took more like 45-60 minutes to cook. I used 6 breast and doubled most of the ingredients. Will DEF make again! Considering adding rice next time.
Do you cut the chicken before you put it in?
Hi Paige, when I make this recipe, I put the chicken in whole, and when I get ready to serve it, I take two forks and pull the chicken apart, and the family really does love this recipe! I sometimes even add some peas when I am adding the dumplings just to add another veggie! Happy Crocking!
Having six people at home, I had to make a little bit of a bigger batch…I also added a can of cream of celery soup instead of chopping celery. I forgot to get canned biscuits so I used Bisquik and made drop dumplins. A little salt and pepper and about a tablespoon of poultry seasoning…O M G!!! It smells soooo good in here! We’re about to sit down to dinner…I’ll let you know what the five guys think!
This was one of the best meals I have prepared in a looong time!! I cannot believe how easy it was and the end result was FANTASTIC!! My boys loved it… especially hubby!!
HUGE winner in this house!! Had my parents over too (made a bigger batch, so fed 7 people and still had leftovers!) Everyone loved it, and even my pickiest eater scraped his bowl! Will definitely make this one again=)
i was wondering can u use dumplings out of the freezer?
Hi Brandy! I have not used them from the freezer, but I certainly don’t see why not, you may just need to cook a bit longer! Thanks for the question, and Happy Crocking!
Could you please tell me how many people this serves? We are a family of 5 (3 small toddlers)
Hi Ashley, all of the serving sizes are in the upper right hand corner of the website page, but I am happy to share with you that this recipe serves 4-6! Happy Crocking!
Made this tonight for dinner and it was a big hit. Have a large slow cooker so I just doubled the recipe. Thanks so much!!!
Awesome – so glad you loved it! It’s one of my family’s favorites too. (and I always get to eat the leftovers for lunch the next day!!) Happy Crocking!
Fantastiic. So much easier than standing over a stove and the chicken turned out fantastic. Thanks!
I wanted to know if you used 1 pound of chicken or 2 pounds? I’m making it today and am using a pound
Hi Stefanie! 4 chicken breast usually equal about 2 lbs., but you can make it with one pound, it will just have less chicken in it… but it will still be delish! Happy Crocking!
I tried this in reg pot since I was home all day and not sure when went wrong. All good until biscuits. After 30in they had disappeared! Quit laughing please I already did all that!
Carol, I am so sorry this didn’t work for you, as it is one of our family favorites, and I really don’t know what happened???? Maybe you tore the biscuits too small, but it really is very good… hope you make it again! Happy Crocking!
Made it. Ate it. Loved it. It’s going in the recipe box. Thank you!
Were you supposed to use regular size bescuits? We bought the jumbo and we have one huge mushy pile of dough
. This was after 40 minutes of cooking. I am trying to bake this dish (a friends suggestion to try and cook the dumplings).
Sharon, thanks for the post, but the jumbo were probably too big, I believe the recipe says to use the 10 oz. size, and two of them. They are not as thick as the jumbo! Please make again, as it really is a favorite among our Facebook friends. Happy Crocking!
I am starting this recipe now and pretty excited!! I did buy the frozen” dumplings” can you advise me when i should add them … or should i defrost in fridge before adding…. please advise and thank you!!
Kira I use the biscuits, but I am sure the frozen dumplings will work, just add them with about one hour to go…. please post back and let everyone know how it turned out! Happy Crocking!
