How to Make Chicken and Dumplings in a Slow Cooker It couldn't be easier to make chicken and dumplings in a slow cooker. Basically, you'll just add the chicken, butter, soup, and onion to a crockpot and cook on high for about five or six hours. Add shredded biscuit dough about 30 minutes before serving. Let the dough cook in the soup until it's no longer raw. We think this dish is delicious on its own, but some reviewers say they like to add a little flavor with spices and seasonings they have on hand, such as paprika and garlic. This recipe is easily customizable, so spice it up however you please. How to Store Chicken and Dumplings Let chicken and dumplings cool completely before packing away for storage. Place in an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to five days. Reheat in the microwave, on the stove, or in the oven. Can You Freeze Chicken and Dumplings? Yes, you can freeze chicken and dumplings. Allow the dish to cool completely, then remove the dumplings and place them in a freezer-safe container or zip-top bag. Place the remaining chicken and soup into a separate freezer-safe storage container or zip-top bag. When you're ready to eat, put the chicken and soup in a pot on the stove. Bring to a boil. In the meantime, thaw the dumplings (in the storage container) in warm water. Add the thawed dumplings to the boiling mixture, reduce to a simmer, and cook for 10 to 15 more minutes before serving. Allrecipes Community Tips and Praise "Easy and cheap to make," says Georgia Girl. "The recipe is full of flavor as written, but easy to tweak for personal tastes. I used chicken broth instead of water and some basic seasoning (cumin, poultry seasoning, all-purpose seasoning, and fresh cracked black pepper) as I read in other reviews." "This recipe is awesome," raves suechef29. "I have two picky eaters and they both love this meal. It's so nice to come home after work to a great tasting meal that was so easy to make!"
