Steps:
- Heat 3 tablespoons butter in a large Dutch oven or wide pot over medium-high heat. Add the carrots, celery, parsnip, bay leaf, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Add 3 tablespoons flour; stir until toasted, about 1 minute. Gradually pour in the chicken broth, stirring. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until slightly thickened and the vegetables are tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Meanwhile, whisk the remaining 1 1/2 cups flour with the baking powder and 3/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Cut the remaining 4 tablespoons butter into small cubes and rub into the flour mixture with your fingers until pea-size pieces form. Stir in the buttermilk and chopped herbs with a fork until combined. Divide the dough into twelve 1 1/2-inch balls.
- Stir the chicken into the pot. Arrange the dough balls on top. Cover and cook over medium-low heat until the dumplings are firm to the touch and cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes. Top with more dill and chives.

- My Update Note: It better than grandma's homemade chicken and dumplings and the gourmet chef who lives next door tasted it and thought it was an old family recipe. :) And loved it! First, you definitly need to add spices. I used cumin, parsley, poultry seasoning, seasoned salt and pepper. Next, I only used 1 can of biscuits, not 2. (I even used the reduced fat version and they tasted the same!) Thirdly, I used 1 can of cream of mushroom soup and 1 can of cream of chicken. Instead of water, I used 3/4 can of low sodium/lowfat chicken broth. At first, it seemed like way to much liquid, but eventually the biscuits soaked it all up! Fourthly, I added 2 CANS of mixed veggies (mix of carrots, peas, tiny potatoes, celery). I am not a fan of canned veggies by any means, but they tasted great in this recipe- so tender! I did add red onion, but I used only half and chopped the pieces extra small. Lastly, I cooked the biscuits for almost 3 hours for a total cooking time of 6.5 hours on high. 30 minutes is just not enough time! Another tip- if you accidentally add too much chicken broth, add a bit of sifted flour and the sauce thickens right up! I know that this recipe will be a winter tradition in our household for years to come!
- Some other adjustments I do sometime are as follows: Use 2 cans of cream of chicken soup (as directed- don't deviate with other cream soups) cover with 1 14 oz can of chicken broth (no need to cover with water, dillutes flavor). Put torn biscuit dough in roughly 90 minutes before ready to serve and make sure that you push them down into the liquid mixture a little, so that they get cooked on the tops, too and saturated with the chicken flavor. I made this recipe with veggies and without, it was better WITHOUT, because the consistency was better and the veggie flavor soaked into the dumplings. 5 hours on High is MORE than enough total cooking time. Also, leave chicken partially frozen when starting out and don't tear meat until right before adding dumplings, this keeps chicken moist. THIS ONE'S IS A WINNER TOO! Now you have three way to do it.
Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and utensils you need. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
- Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs add a delicious burst of flavor to this dish. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can substitute dried herbs, but use about half the amount.
- Cook the Chicken Thoroughly: Make sure the chicken is cooked through before you add the dumplings. You can check this by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken. The internal temperature should read at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Don't Overcook the Dumplings: The dumplings should be cooked through, but not overcooked. Overcooked dumplings will be tough and chewy. Cook them just until they are no longer doughy in the center.
- Serve Immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is cooked. The dumplings will start to get soggy if they sit for too long.
Conclusion:
This slow cooker creamy chicken and herbed dumplings is a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. The chicken is tender and juicy, the dumplings are fluffy and flavorful, and the sauce is creamy and rich. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. This dish is also very easy to make. Simply brown the chicken, add the ingredients to the slow cooker, and let it cook on low for 6-8 hours. You can even make it ahead of time and reheat it when you're ready to serve.
