Few dinners are more comforting than a bowl of homemade chicken and dumplings. Soft dumplings, rich broth and tender chicken make an average evening feel like a Sunday dinner. This Slow Cooker 4-Ingredient Amish Chicken and Dumplings has the same old-fashioned comfort, but so much easier to make.
Rather than spending hours at the stove, you can leave the slow cooker to do the work, gently cooking the chicken until it’s tender and flavourful. Near the end, refrigerated biscuit dough is dropped right into the creamy broth and turns into soft, fluffy dumplings.
I love this recipe for those cold nites when everyone wants something warm and filling. …it only has 4 main ingredients, but the finished dish is so rich and satisfying.

Amish Chicken and Dumplings Recipe (Slow Cooker)
1. Add the chicken.
- Spray slow cooker lightly. Place chicken breasts on bottom.
- Pour chicken broth over chicken. Top with cream of chicken soup.
- No need to get it perfectly mixed up at this stage. As the soup heats it will melt into the broth.
2. Cook chicken
- Cover and cook on LOW for 5 to 6 hours, or until chicken is tender and reaches 165 degrees F.
- Remove chicken from slow cooker and shred with two forks.
- Return the shredded chicken to the creamy broth, stir gently.
3. Make the dumplings
- Cut each biscuit into smaller pieces while still refrigerated. If your biscuits are large, it’s a good idea to cut each one into quarters.
- Carefully drop the biscuit pieces into the hot chicken mixture, spreading them around the surface instead of piling them all in one place.
4. Prepare the potstickers
- Replace the lid on the slow cooker and cook on HIGH for about 45 to 60 minutes, or until the biscuit pieces are cooked through and fluffy in the center.
- Try not to keep opening the lid as the dumplings cook. This keeps the heat trapped in so they will cook properly.
- When dumplings are done, stir chicken and creamy broth gently around dumplings.
