Ultimate Crock Pot Chicken and Dumplings

This Crock Pot Chicken and Dumplings is the ultimate “set it and forget it” comfort food. Using chicken thighs instead of breasts keeps the meat tender and juicy after hours of slow cooking. A mix of cream of chicken and cream of celery soups forms a thick, velvety gravy, while refrigerated biscuits turn into pillowy dumplings that soak up every bit of savory goodness.

Final cook: Cover and cook the remaining hour. Gently stir the cooked dumplings into the creamy sauce. Serve warm, topped with extra parsley if desired.
