Dump-and-Bake Chicken and Dumplings

"This classic Southern comfort food gets an easier, quick-prep makeover! Dump-and-Bake Chicken and Dumplings is a cozy one-pot meal that comes together in minutes for a simple and wholesome weeknight dinner! Every Southern home cook probably has her own version of Chicken and Dumplings. This just happens to be my favorite! As usual, I took the classic and simplified it to suit our busy lives -- with my favorite dump-and-bake method. That means that you don't have to stand over the pot to sautee the vegetables, you don't have to cook the meat or make your own broth in advance, and you don't have to mix together your own biscuit dough. Instead, with a few little shortcuts, you can get your Chicken and Dumplings in the oven in about 10 minutes!"

NotesWant to Make it in the Slow Cooker? Place all of the ingredients (except the biscuits) into a 6-quart slow cooker. Cover and cook on LOW for 4-6 hours or on HIGH for 2-3 hours. During the final 45 minutes of cooking time, stir in the chopped biscuits. Cook for the remaining 45 minutes (or until dough is cooked through).

Cooking for Just for Two? You can cut the ingredients in half and use a smaller pot to prepare the chicken and dumplings. The cooking instructions remain the same!
