  6. Add Dumplings: Cut the biscuits into quarters and place these pieces evenly over the mixture in the crock pot.
  7. Cook Dumplings: Cover and cook on high for 60 to 90 minutes until the biscuit pieces are cooked through and fluffy, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Notes

  • You can substitute fresh vegetables if preferred, adjusting the cooking time accordingly.
  • For a thicker broth, reduce the amount of chicken broth slightly or add a slurry of cornstarch and water before adding the dumplings.
  • Stir occasionally while the dumplings are cooking to avoid sticking and ensure even cooking.
  • If you prefer less salt, reduce the added salt and seasonings to taste.
  • The biscuits can be replaced with homemade dough for a more traditional dumpling texture.
