Notes

Can canned vegetables over frozen be used?

While drained canned vegetables CAN be used, canned vegetables will tend to get a lot mushier in the crockpot. Although a quick solution, we always recommend using frozen vegetables in slow cooker dishes.

Can chicken thighs be substituted for chicken breasts?

Any dark or light meat can be used, but be aware not to add proteins that have bones, or they can get lost and be a choking hazard.

Can I use rotisserie chicken?

You can use rotisserie chicken in place of boneless, skinless breasts; however, you would need quite a bit to add as much meat as the original recipe.

How long do crockpot chicken & dumplings keep?

All leftover chicken should always be sealed in an airtight container and placed in the fridge. This crock pot recipe of chicken and delicious dumplings should keep approximately three days. Remember that the chicken mixture has a creamy sauce, and that may continue to soften any of the dumplings as it sits n the fridge.

Can crescent rolls be used over canned biscuits?

Yes, but crescent rolls tend to already be a flatter dough. Just cut into quarters before adding to the dish.
