Ingredients

Steps

  • 1
    In 10-inch skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat until hot. Add chicken; cook 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned.
  • 2
    In 4- to 5-quart slow cooker, place chicken, celery, carrots, mushrooms, soup mix and water; mix well.
  • 3
    Cover; cook on Low heat setting 7 to 8 hours.
  • 4
    Separate dough into 5 biscuits; cut each into 8 wedges. Place biscuits and cornmeal in 1-gallon resealable food-storage plastic bag; shake gently to coat. Stir biscuits pieces into hot chicken mixture last hour of cook time.
  • 5
    Cover; cook on High heat setting 1 hour or until biscuits are no longer doughy in center.
  • 6
    Add frozen peas and pepper to chicken mixture. Cover; cook 10 minutes or until heated through.

  • In this recipe, the biscuits are cut into small pieces to speed up their cooking time. Because biscuits cook best in an almost-boiling sauce, it’s important that you quickly add them in and replace the slow cooker's lid so the sauce stays piping hot.
  • Don’t have any leek soup mix on hand? Dry mushroom soup mix can be used instead. To enhance the flavor of mushroom soup, add a small sliced leek or mild yellow onion in the slow cooker at the same time as you add the celery.
  • To garnish, sprinkle freshly chopped parsley, dill or another favorite herb over the dish for a little color and extra flavor.
  • For a family supper, serve the chicken and dumplings with sweet corn kernels, a crisp, mixed-green salad and brownie sundaes.
