I’ve always made the chicken and dumplings I was raised on with big fluffy dumplings cooked on top of the broth from the chicken.

This Crock Pot Chicken and Dumplings recipe is a classic comfort food that’s easy to prepare and perfect for a cozy meal. The slow cooker method ensures tender chicken and flavorful dumplings in a creamy, savory broth.
