Ingredients

Marinade (or replace with a packet mix)

  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • ½ a lemon
  • 2 tsp dried basil
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • ½ tsp dried crushed red pepper
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1 Tbsp garlic pepper

Chicken n Dumplins

  • 2 cans cream of chicken soup
  • 2 cans water
  • ½ tsp garlic salt
  • ¼ tsp pepper
  • 2 lb marinated chicken
  • 1 Tbsp garlic powder
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup shredded parmesan cheese
  • 1 tube biscuits (use your preferred type, flaky layers, homestyle, etc.)

Instructions

Marinade

  • Combine all ingredients with 2 lb chicken in a plastic bag. Smoosh around and let sit for at least an hour (or overnight).

Chicken 'n Dumplings

  • Add 2 cans of cream of chicken to the slow cooker. Fill each can with water and add that to the pot.
  • Add ½ tsp garlic salt and ½ tsp pepper and stir until combined. Add in the chicken and cook on high 5-6 hours, low 8-9 hours.
  • 1½ hours before serving, remove the chicken from the pot and cut or tear the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Once shredded, return to the cooker.
  • In a medium bowl, combine parmesan cheese and 1 Tbsp garlic powder. Cut each biscuit into 6-9 pieces (depending on your preferred size of dumplin) and toss in the cheese mixture. Add to slow cooker on top. You can mix slightly, but I usually just toss them on top.
  • Cook high for 1 hour, then sprinkle on cheddar cheese and let melt.
