What is it about Fall that makes us crave comfort food? There's something about a nice warm soup or stew on a cool fall evening to set everything right with the world.
If you're like me, you would love nothing better than to indulge in a hearty Fall concoction that's been simmering all afternoon; filling the house with the smells of, well, Fall.
But, if you're like me, too, ain't nobody got time for that!
I LOVE MY CROCKPOTS.
Yep, crockpotS. I love them so much, I've got a collection. And, there's nothing better than a Fall day with the leaves falling to make me want to break them out and get to work.
This is the absolute easiest chicken 'n dumplings recipe in the crockpot ever.
Trust me.
This is all you need:
Chicken - I use skinless, boneless breast meat
Can of biscuits
10 3/4 oz can of Cream of Chicken soup
48 oz Chicken broth
(ooops, I accidentally pulled out vegetable broth for the photo - I did actually use chicken broth)
And this:
A crockpot
(my big oval one would have worked better. I almost ran out of room in this one)
Place the chicken broth, soup, chicken and 1 cup water in a crockpot and turn on low. Cook for 6 - 8 hours or until chicken is done.
If you like extra ingredients (carrots, etc.) add to the crockpot at the beginning and allow to simmer all day.
Remove chicken from crockpot and place on a plate. Turn crockpot on high.
Open biscuits and cut into bite size pieces.
Place cut up biscuits into broth in crockpot.
Take two forks and shred chicken. Put chicken back in the crockpot. Stir chicken and biscuits. Allow to cook on high 20-30 minutes. Stir occasionally to make sure all biscuits are cooking evenly.
That's it! The easiest way to a hearty bowl of chicken 'n dumplings you're ever going to find.
(salt and pepper to taste)
Here's another look. Yummy!
Stay tuned. It's fall and I've got all these crockpots...
