Using the crock pot to slowly cook boneless skinless chicken breasts and refrigerator biscuits for the dumplings means you can get everything ready and let the crock pot do the cooking.

The crock pot does all the work while you're doing something else, and no one will know you didn't slave over the stove all day.

Crock Pot Chicken and Dumplings

Ingredients

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut in bite sized pieces
1 can (10.75 ounces) condensed cream of chicken soup
1 medium yellow onion, chopped in medium sized dice
2 large carrots, peeled and cut into medium sized dice
1 cup frozen peas
1 quart chicken broth
1/2 tablespoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
1 whole bay leaf
1 package (10 ounces) refrigerated biscuit dough

Directions

Season the chicken with the kosher salt and black pepper, put it in the bottom of the crock pot.

Put the chopped onion, carrots and frozen peas on top of the chicken pieces.

Whisk together the cream of chicken soup and the chicken stock. Add the oregano and celery salt, then pour this mixture over the vegetables and chicken. Put the whole bay leaf on top and cover the crock pot with the lid. Cook on high for about 6 hours.

About 1 hour before the chicken finishes cooking, tear the biscuit dough into pieces the size of a golf ball. Layer the dough pieces over the top of the chicken and vegetable mixture. Put the lid back on the crock pot and cook for another hour.

The dumplings should soak up most of the broth, but if not, cook another 30 minutes with the top off the crock pot.

Serves 6

Food For Thought - Play around with the vegetables and the seasonings - you may have family favorites that can be added in or substituted.

Try frozen corn niblets, pearl onions or chopped celery for a variation. Another choice for seasonings is to add 1 envelope of dry onion soup mix.

Almost anything you can think up, you can use. Have fun with this great Crock Pot Chicken And Dumplings meal!
