A comforting and hearty chicken and dumplings recipe made easy in a crockpot, perfect for cozy fall evenings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into bite-sized pieces)
  • 4 cups chicken broth (low sodium preferred)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 medium carrots, sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp poultry seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Add chicken, onion, carrots, celery, and garlic to the crockpot. Sprinkle thyme, poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper over the top.
  2. Pour chicken broth and heavy cream into the crockpot, ensuring the chicken and vegetables are submerged.
  3. Set the crockpot to low and cook for 6-8 hours, or high for 4-5 hours, until the chicken is tender.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in milk and melted butter until a soft dough forms.
  5. Drop spoonfuls of dough into the crockpot. Cover and cook on high for an additional 30 minutes, or until dumplings are cooked through.
  6. Give the mixture a gentle stir and ladle into bowls. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.

Notes

[‘Avoid lifting the lid while the dumplings are cooking to prevent soggy dumplings.’, ‘Space out dumplings to ensure even cooking.’, ‘Use room temperature milk and butter for dumpling dough.’, ‘Taste and adjust seasoning before serving.’]
