Chicken and dumplings is the perfect comfort food. It’s a hearty, warm, filling meal that reminds me of childhood.

The way I used to make it was high in fat and calories. It had butter, cream of chicken soup and regular biscuits.
Don’t get me wrong…it was delicious! The good news is my lightened up version is still delicious!!
I make my chicken and dumplings in the crock pot. It makes for an easy weeknight meal. My favorite part is coming home from work, opening the door and smelling dinner. And it smells so good!
I have the 6-Quart Programmable Crock-Pot and I love it. If I am cooking something in the crock pot it will switch to warm when it is done. I like that because I don’t have to worry about my food overcooking.
This is the crock pot I have.
I also like that it is very easy to travel with. The lid locks down which is great for traveling in the car.
This Chicken and Dumplings recipe is easy to make, but you can also add more veggies to it if you would like. I often do carrots and/or peas which are perfect because they don’t add points.
