With the heat wave finally starting to come to an end here in Southern California, I’m really getting into the swing of fall cooking!
One of my family’s favorite dishes is this Crock Pot Chicken and Dumplings Recipe. It is SO ridiculously delicious and SO filling and satisfying. You can feel free to experiment and add other veggies if you’d like.
Sometimes, I make it without the potatoes, and that shaves an extra Point off. But those moist, thick, fluffy dumplings are just heavenly and are the true star of this popular comfort food recipe.
Perfect for a chilly day, this tasty Crock Pot Chicken and Dumplings is sure to become a family favorite of yours too! Enjoy.

I need to make this dairy-free. I can substitute almond or coconut milk for the milk, but what would you recommend instead of the soup? Thanks!
You can make your own and its pretty simple too! And I don’t see why you wouldn’t be able to substitute the milk in the recipe for a non-dairy choice. (http://www.thekitchn.com/recipe-diy-crea-16827)
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons white flour
1/2 cup chicken stock
1/2 cup milk
Salt and pepper
You almost had me with this recipe until you added a CAN of soup.
I am making this right now & my house smells AMAZING! Even my husband…who is very picky, would rather have beef than chicken, not usually thrilled about lower fat, healthier meals…says it smells SO GOOD and he is excited to eat it! What a great, easy recipe, thank you!
Fabulous! I have made this twice now and have been wowed each time. Thanks!
Unless you want every bite to taste like thyme and nothing else I recommend using 1/2 tsp. of thyme, NOT 2 tsp. Was so disappointed. :-(
This is SO GOOD. Everthing turned out perfectly, I followed the recipe exactly. Will absolutely be making this again! Thank you!
Is there a way to pin any of your recipes on pinterest? There are so many recipes on here I’d love to pin to my pinterest but I don’t see the button. I love your website and recipes!!! :)
Hi, I was confused also since I couldn’t find the Pinterest button. But I found that just by poking the picture somewhere in the bottom left corner of the picture that the Pinterest button appears and then you can push it.
I’m also wanting to know what the actual serving size is – one cup? 1.5 cups? It’s hard to divide by 6 with a soupy mix in a crockpot…I have this cooking as we speak!
It’s hard to say exactly…since the size of the vegetable pieces can vary and will affect how much you can fit into a cup. I’d estimate that each serving of the soup is about 1 1/4 cups.
Hi,
You list onion powder in the ingredients, but not in the directions. I made your recipe this morning and just sprinkled it over the veggies & chicken since I wasn’t sure on what step is was to be added. Just curious, I’m sure it will be delicous. :-)
Hi I made your recipe yesterday but I had to throw out the whole thing it would have been great without the thyme that ruined it also the chicken boubillon cube did too because it made it come out too salty I’m going to make it today without the thyme!
Completely agree! Made this yesterday and there was WAYY too much thyme. I would recommend adding just half a tsp if that. Didn’t throw it out but I’m disappointed. ): Maybe the leftovers will be better!
Do you add the dumpling mix after the 6h 30min crockpot cook time (high or medium setting?), or at the start?
Thank you.
You add the dumplings in after cooking on low for 6 hours. Then after you put the dumplings in, turn the heat up to high and cook for 30 minutes.
This looks great and I’ll be making this weekend. If I didn’t include the biscuits how many points would I take off? Also, what is the size of a serving? I love your recipes and they are great with following WW. Thank you in advance!
