Comfort Food Recipe #4 - Creamy Chicken and Dumplings

I love winter and comfort food. The cold weather is the time I enjoy making stews, roasts and chicken & dumplings; needless to say, my crock pot gets a workout! Chicken and dumplings are a hands down family favorite. Here is my recipe and I hope you all enjoy it!

Creamy Crock Pot Chicken and Dumplings

4-6 chicken breasts
1 T garlic powder
1 tsp fresh ground black pepper
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 can diced white potatoes, drained
2 cans condensed cream of chicken soup
2 cups chicken broth*
2 cups frozen peas & carrots
1 package refrigerated biscuit dough, each biscuit cut into quarters


Rinse chicken breasts and place at the bottom of the crockpot and season breasts with garlic powder and pepper. Add onions and potatoes, both cans of chicken soup and chicken broth. Cook on Low for 8 hours. Once cooking is completed, shred chicken with two forks in the crockpot, then stir in the frozen peas and carrots.
*If you like your chicken mixture more like a soup, you can add more chicken broth at this time, to taste. Top with biscuits and cook approximately ½ hour or until biscuits are no longer doughy.
