This Crockpot Chicken and Dumplings recipe is a cozy, creamy, and comforting slow cooker meal made with juicy chicken thighs, tender vegetables, and fluffy biscuit dumplings—all with minimal prep and maximum flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 5-6 thighs)
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • ½ teaspoon dried rosemary
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1¾ cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 carrot, peeled and sliced
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 10.5 ounces cream of chicken soup (1 can)
  • ½ cup frozen peas
  • 16.3 ounces refrigerated biscuit dough (8 large biscuits)
  • Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper and place them in the bottom of the crockpot.
  2. Add bay leaf, dried parsley, rosemary, thyme, and garlic powder over the chicken.
  3. Pour in chicken broth, sliced carrot, chopped onion, and cream of chicken soup. Lightly stir the top without disturbing the chicken.
  4. Cover and cook on high for 3–4 hours until chicken is tender and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  5. Add frozen peas and stir. Shred chicken if desired.
  6. Cut each biscuit into quarters, roll into balls, and arrange on top of the stew.
  7. Cover and cook on high for 1–2 more hours until dumplings are fluffy and fully cooked. Do not lift the lid while cooking.
  8. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.

Notes

  • Don’t lift the crockpot lid while dumplings are cooking to ensure even steaming.
  • You can use rotisserie chicken to save time—just reduce the initial cook time.
  • Freeze the stew portion only—add biscuit dough fresh when reheating.
  • Homemade dumplings can replace canned biscuits if preferred.
  • To thicken the broth, cook uncovered for 20–30 minutes or use a cornstarch slurry.
