Slow Cooker Chicken & Dumplings
Slow Cooker Chicken & Dumplings is hands-free cooking! Just add the chicken, vegetables and condensed cream of chicken soup to your slow cooker and let it do the work. Then, 30 minutes before dinnertime, mix biscuit mix and milk (with parsley if you want it pretty!) and drop the dough into the cooker- the dough simmers in the sauce to become pillowy, soft dumplings! Slow Cooker Chicken & Dumplings is a hearty chicken stew with creamy gravy and dumplings- comfort food that anyone can make!
