Slow Cooker Chicken and Dumplings are a staple recipe in our home, especially during the cooler months. It’s so nice to put all the ingredients in and know dinner is ready when the family is! Not to mention, it leaves the home smelling delicious! Don’t you just love slow cooker recipes?

How long do dumplings take in a slow cooker?

With our version of the Slow Cooker Chicken and Dumplings recipe we use canned refrigerated biscuits to help speed up the cooking time. Once you place the biscuits into the crock pot it typically takes about an hour on high.

Can you overcook dumplings in a slow cooker?

You can’t really overcook the dumplings as they break down and get soft. However, you can undercook the dumplings. Make sure before serving the dumplings are firm and not raw dough still.

Can you put raw chicken into the slow cooker?

YES! This is my favorite thing about the slow cooker. You can put raw chicken in with other ingredients to make a speedy dinner recipe.
