Ingredients:
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons butter
2 (10.5 ounce) cans condensed cream of chicken soup
1 medium onion, finely diced
2 cups water, or as needed to cover
1 (10 ounce) package refrigerated biscuit dough
Directions:
Place the chicken, butter, cream of chicken soup, onion, and water into the slow cooker. Stir to combine and ensure the chicken is submerged.
Cover and cook on High for 5 to 6 hours, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and tender.
About 30 minutes before serving, tear the biscuit dough into pieces and add them to the slow cooker. Stir gently to distribute the dough pieces evenly.
Cover and cook for an additional 30 minutes, or until the dumplings are no longer raw in the center.
Serve hot, ensuring each bowl includes both chicken and dumplings.
