It does not get much more simple or comforting than this incredible slow cooker chicken and dumplings! The dumplings are even a big shortcut by using pre-made biscuit dough.
- 2 cups chicken stock
- 2 cans cream of chicken condensed soup 10.5 ounce size
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 8 whole chives finely chopped, plus additional for garnish
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon dried onion
- 1/4 teaspoon Worchestershire sauce
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken tenders
- 2 cans Pillsbury Southern style biscuits

Get out a large slow cooker and combine everything but the biscuits in its bowl. Give it a good stir. Then turn the heat to low and let it all gently cook for 5 hours. When the 5 hours are up, use two forks to break up and shred the chicken a little. Then take the raw biscuits and quickly quarter all of them to make the shortcut dumplings. Stir them into the slow cooker with everything else and let the mixture cook for another 2 hours, stirring it every so often. A lot of the liquid will absorb into the biscuits and puff them up to make a thick, gorgeous mixture. Serve it immediately with your favorite veggie sides! Makes great leftovers too.
