Pro Tips and Timesaver Shortcuts

  • If you overcook during the second half, the biscuits can begin to brown or burn against the side
    of the crockpot.
  • All crockpots/slower cookers do not heat the same. Cooking time may vary depending on the size of the pot. If at the 4-hour mark you need to add more liquid, do so, to avoid burning later.
  • You can also make this with rotisserie chicken and save time. It's one of my favorite slow cooker recipes to use it in.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container.

FAQ

Can you freeze crockpot chicken and dumplings?

You can. Just make certain that you add your leftovers to a freezer-safe container or bag and it should be fine. There is a chance that the texture will be altered a bit once you unthaw to enjoy but it shouldn't affect the flavor or taste at all.

What are good side dish options for crockpot dumplings with chicken?

Since this is a hearty meal, a nice side salad or even a small bowl of cottage cheese are great options or additions for dinner. The lighter, the better!

Hi, I'm Raquel! I am a self-proclaimed foodie and have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was little. I loved baking cookies with my mother and grandma as a child, and later making dinners for my parents to foster my passion while in high school. I also had a passion for organizing and keeping things tidy.
