Good morning, everyone. Welcome back to Catherine's
plates, where it's always simply delicious in my kitchen

00:06.140 --> 00:12.440
Today, I'm going to show you an easy version
of chicken and dumplings in the crock pot

00:12.760 --> 00:18.460
We don't have to heat up a big pot on our
stove top and have it sit all day simmering

00:18.860 --> 00:22.620
Let the crock pot do it and
keep your kitchen nice and cool

00:23.320 --> 00:35.020
You ready? Let's go ahead and get started. To make the chicken part of our chicken
and dumplings, you're going to need two pounds of boneless, skinless chicken breast

00:35.920 --> 00:52.780
three to four cups of chicken broth. I'm using some poultry seasoning, some salt,
some pepper, and then I have a cream of chicken soup, and a cream of celery soup

00:52.780 --> 00:57.220
Now you can change these up if you
want to do two cream of chicken soups

00:57.220 --> 01:01.100
You can do that or two cream of
celery soups. You can do that also

01:02.820 --> 01:09.220
I'm using a six-court crock pot and we're
going to add two cans of our cream of soups

01:11.860 --> 01:18.320
Now this recipe is great because it's in the crock
pot. We're not having to sear any meat, brown any meat

01:18.560 --> 01:22.760
So just put it all in there
and let it do its thing

01:22.760 --> 01:27.180
and then the dumplings will come later. I'm
going to show you how that's going to happen

01:28.920 --> 01:33.540
Now these are 10.5 ounce cans, and
you're going to need two of them

01:34.280 --> 01:43.700
I like the celery flavor, so we'll be adding that.
But we've got to have that chicken flavor in there

01:44.360 --> 01:54.940
Really prominent chicken flavor. Now, this
is the base for my chicken and dumplings

01:55.140 --> 02:00.860
I never go away from this flavor here. Now,
I change up the dumplings every so often

02:01.880 --> 02:07.080
I'm going to take my chicken broth. Now, what I
like to do to get all of that stuff out of the cans

02:07.240 --> 02:13.980
pour the chicken broth into our can.
Probably going to be doing the whole box

02:14.740 --> 02:19.400
Just take a spoon, just kind of stir it
up. up, get all of that flavor out of there

02:25.080 --> 02:34.220
We love, love, love chicken and dumplings. I'm bringing this
one back to you and did it years ago in a What's for Dinner

02:35.420 --> 02:40.500
And it is lost up in there with all those videos
I've done. I've done like over 900 videos

02:41.300 --> 02:52.477
What we going to do now is season it Quarter
teaspoon of salt Half a teaspoon of black pepper

02:54.857 --> 03:01.677
Then we're going to go in with a
full teaspoon of poultry seasoning

03:02.597 --> 03:11.117
Now, poultry seasoning has thyme, sage,
marjoram, rosemary, nutmeg, and black pepper

03:11.497 --> 03:17.737
the ingredients. Yeah, this will really give it
some flavor. Take a whisk and just blend this

03:17.737 --> 03:25.997
all together. Now if you like other flavors
in there like garlic, onion powder, you can

03:25.997 --> 03:32.497
add that. Whisk it really good and get it
all combined. Now we're going to be using

03:32.497 --> 03:37.177
boneless skinless chicken breast for this
recipe. Now these are pretty big and they

03:37.177 --> 03:41.477
seem to be about a pound each
because there was four pounds to the

03:41.477 --> 03:47.557
package and there was four chicken breast. So
I'm going to cut these down just a little bit

03:47.557 --> 03:56.397
because they are very plump. So I'm just
going to probably cut it into threes. You can

03:56.397 --> 04:04.857
use chicken tenders if you want. Now we're
going to place the chicken and submerge it into

04:04.857 --> 04:18.497
the liquid. Get it nice and coated. Now what I'm
going to do is add that rest of that chicken broth

04:18.497 --> 04:25.497
I filled the cans with it,
but I want four cups in here

04:25.497 --> 04:34.497
We're going to need this liquid when we create the
dumplings. So make sure you have four cups in there

04:34.497 --> 04:40.497
Okay, I'm going to give that a
stir. Now we're going to cook it

04:40.497 --> 04:46.077
Now we're going to cook it. Okay,
we're going to place the lid on

04:47.097 --> 04:52.637
All right, so we're going to cook the chicken part of our chicken
and dumplings for about three, three and a half hours on high

04:53.017 --> 05:01.857
Or you can go about five hours on low. You want to get to the point
where that chicken is nice and tender and you can shred it very easily

05:02.257 --> 05:06.797
And then at that point, we're going to make the
dumplings. And then it's going to take about another hour

05:07.397 --> 05:13.937
All right, I'll be back. We're about one hour
out from the chicken being really nice and tender

05:13.937 --> 05:21.937
So I'm going to go ahead and start preparing the biscuits
that are going to make the dumplings in the crock pot

05:21.937 --> 05:26.937
So we're going to be using biscuit dough.
You get it out of your refrigerator

05:26.937 --> 05:40.995
It just a can It take about an hour for these to cook in the crock pot
So I going to do is sprinkle a little bit of flour on my work surface

05:44.995 --> 05:53.995
Smooth it out a little bit. Now I'm
going to place my biscuit dough on top

05:53.995 --> 05:59.995
Now I'm going to cut very thin
strips. strips. Very, very thin

05:59.995 --> 06:13.115
Like that. Now you can make your own biscuit dough if
you want to do that, and then you can put them into

06:13.115 --> 06:21.555
your crock pot. We like them like this and very
thin because they make really good dumplings

06:21.555 --> 06:26.975
Now I've made chicken and dumplings before in
a big soup pot and it was a copycat version

06:26.975 --> 06:36.035
of Cracker Barrel. And I made homemade dumplings. So I'll
link it down below if you want to check out that recipe

06:36.755 --> 06:40.815
I'm going to do three more of the biscuits,
and that's what we'll do for this recipe

06:41.514 --> 06:48.715
So there'll be five total biscuits. Now we have three
more, and what you can do is just plop those into the oven

06:48.715 --> 06:52.854
and bake them off. And we can dust
these with a little bit of flour

06:54.075 --> 06:59.895
which is totally fine because it'll aid as a
thickener. once we put them back into the crock pot

07:01.135 --> 07:05.395
All right, there we go. All
right, I've got all of these

07:06.294 --> 07:10.715
I've got these here. Just going to
dust them a little bit on the top

07:12.395 --> 07:19.535
See it don't stick. All right, what we're going to
do now is pull the chicken out of the crock pot

07:19.535 --> 07:26.875
and I'm going to chop it up or you can shred it up.
However, you want to eat your chicken with the dumpling

07:26.995 --> 07:32.895
getting tender, that's for sure. So I'm
going to place it on a cutting board

07:33.935 --> 07:38.115
Let's make sure we got it all out. All
right, we're going to start chopping it up

07:44.175 --> 07:48.435
We've got all the chicken chopped up, but we're
going to do is place it back into the crock pot

07:56.135 --> 08:02.875
All right, now we're going to do. to add
the pieces of biscuit on top of the sauce

08:02.875 --> 08:11.555
Make sure your crock pot's still on.
Mine's going to be on a high setting

08:11.555 --> 08:25.232
I just going to push these down So they coated with the sauce And then
we going to put another layer of biscuit on top of that Push those down

08:26.232 --> 08:32.992
Now the flour on the biscuit pieces will
help thicken up the sauce as it cooks

08:33.812 --> 08:41.612
We're going to put a lid on it, and it should take about one
hour to finish tenderizing that chicken and cooking the biscuits

08:41.612 --> 08:51.172
It's still a nice and tender, fluffy,
and puffy. Okay, I've taken the lid off

08:51.632 --> 08:57.292
Now it sat for a few minutes.
So I'm going to break these up

08:58.132 --> 09:07.752
Oh, look at that. Sure made the house
smell delicious. Oh, look how thick that is

09:09.672 --> 09:20.112
Who's ready for some chicken. and dumplings.
I'm going to bowl this up and give it a try

09:20.112 --> 09:28.792
Okay, if you can see the dumplings,
how they puffed up, and that chicken

09:28.792 --> 09:35.712
Oh, it's so tender, it just falls
apart. It's those dumplings I'm after

09:35.712 --> 09:42.512
There's my bite right there. A really comforting
dish to have. All right, my bowl holder

09:45.512 --> 10:04.512
Comfort. All right, there's
my bite. Mmm. This right here

10:04.512 --> 10:16.752
whatever you want to call it. That. That. gold right there. That's
delicious. It's creamy. It's got a lot of flavor in it. Probably

10:16.752 --> 10:21.452
because of that poultry seasoning we added. Had
a little nutmeg in there which gave it a little

10:21.452 --> 10:30.492
warmth to it. That is delicious. The chicken
is very tender, full of flavor. And those

10:30.492 --> 10:39.332
dumplings, they're very soft, kind of like little
pillows of goodness in your chicken and dumplings

10:39.332 --> 10:43.332
Okay, give me a thumbs up on
this one. Who's making it

10:43.332 --> 10:49.332
It was very easy to put together using
a can of biscuits and a few cans. Yeah
