Chicken and dumplings?

[Deleted]

Does anyone have a great recipe? I've never made it before but would love to try. Crock pot recipes are an added bonus.

My quick recipe uses the dreaded cream of chicken soup. My traditional recipe is very basic, though the dumplings are different from other I have seen.

Quick & Easy Chicken & Dumplings

2 cups cooked chicken (I use half a rotisserie chicken so I get some white & some dark meat)
2 cans cream of chicken soup
2 soup cans water
4 teaspoons flour
2 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules
1 can refrigerated biscuits

> mix everything but the biscuits in the crockpot, stirring well to combine
> cut the biscuits into quarters and stir gently through the mixture in crockpot
> cover and cook for 4 to 6 hours on low

Chicken & Dumplings
1/2 whole chicken, cut into pieces (1 each bone-in breast, wing, thigh, and leg)
2-3 medium carrots cut into thick slices
2-3 ribs celery cut into thick slices
1 medium onion cut into wedges and separated
salt
pepper
water
2-3 teaspoons chicken bouillon
1 cup biscuit mix
1 egg
1 tablespoon milk

>place chicken pieces, carrots, celery, and onions in large dutch oven
>add enough water to cover by at least one inch, season with salt and pepper
>bring to boil over medium heat, reduce heat and simmer until chicken is cooked through (falling off bones), and vegetables are soft, skimming as necessary (2-3 hours)
>remove chicken from broth, return broth and vegetables to dutch oven, stirring in chicken bouillon
>remove chicken meat from bones and dice to bite-sized pieces, discarding any skin
>add chicken to broth and bring to a boil over medium heat
>mix together biscuit mix, egg and milk, just until dough comes together
>turn dough onto well-floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic
>roll out dough to large, thin rectangle (12x6, maybe 1/8 inch thick)
>cut dough into strips
>drop strips into boiling broth, stirring to keep from sticking
>cover and cook 10 minutes, then uncover and cook 10 minutes longer

I made it for the first time back in Feb. Here's my version that I adapted from the Pioneer Woman.
