For another comfort food favorite, make my Slow Cooker Chicken and Rice. It has all the flavors of the popular casserole, and there should be plenty left over for lunch the next day

Easy Slow Cooker Chili is hearty and filling with plenty of heat to keep you warm on chilly nights.

On nights when you just don’t feel like cooking, make Slow Cooker Creamy Mac and Cheese. It’s bursting with flavor from four different types of cheese and is ready in as little as one hour!

How To Make Chicken and Bisquick Dumplings

Add everything except the milk and baking mix to your crockpot and turn it on. It can cook all day on low, or turn it to high if you need it done sooner.

Then, make the dumplings and add them during the last hour of cooking. Easy peasy!

If you’re short on time, I also have a stovetop version of this chicken crock pot recipe that’s ready in just 30 minutes and cooks all in the same pot.

Ingredient Notes and Substitutions

• Canned Soup Alternative: While store bought is more convenient, you can use homemade cream of chicken soup if you prefer.
• Leave Chicken Whole: Because the meat becomes so tender when slow-cooked, it should fall apart on its own. You may need to stir everything before adding the dumplings to break it apart or feel free to cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces before starting the recipe.
• Add Veggies: This dish would taste great with potatoes, carrots, and celery as well. Just add them at the beginning with everything else. If you want to use frozen peas or corn, mix those in just before adding the Bisquick dumplings.

Homemade Bisquick Dumplings

If you don’t have Bisquick on hand, you can easily make a homemade version with pantry staples!
Simply combine the following ingredients together and use as directed in the recipe.

• 2 cups flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 tablespoon butter (softened)
• ¾ cup milk
• ¼ cup water

Kitchen Tools/Equipment You’ll Need

• Slow Cooker - This is almost my most used kitchen appliance, especially during the cooler months. It’s so convenient and just makes comfort food taste better!
• Large Scooper - Great for meatballs, cookies, ice cream, and portioning out leftovers. I’ve had this set for years and use them all the time.

Recipe Notes + FAQ

Storage and Reheating

Keep leftover crockpot chicken and dumplings in the refrigerator in a sealed container.

While this meal is safe to eat for up to 4 days, I would recommend eating it within a day or two.

Otherwise, the dumplings will become soggy and start to fall apart.

Reheat in the microwave or on the stove until warmed through, adding a splash of broth as need if it is too thick.

Do I need to cook chicken before adding it to the crockpot?

Not at all! It’s perfectly safe to add raw chicken to a slow cooker when it will be cooked for a minimum of 4-5 hours.

Will the dumplings still cook if they float to the top?

Yes, they will still cook through when this happens. I just dunk them from time to time because I like them all juicy.

Can I use chicken thighs instead of breasts?

If you prefer dark meat, thighs are a great substitute. Use an equal amount by weight and make sure they are boneless and skinless.

It’s also a good idea to trim off any excess fat so the dish isn’t too greasy.

Enjoy!
