Valerie,
How much chicken you put in is really just how chickeny you like it. Using canned broth, use the same amount of water as broth. So, For a family of 4 or 5 for instance, I’d use 3-4 boneless chicken breasts (cooked and cut up), 2 cans of broth, 2 cans of water, and 2 cans of biscuits. (if you are really lacking time and not concerned about budget, you can use 2-3 cans of the canned chicken instead of the breasts – but I really am not fond of the canned chicken)
Let me know how you like it!
Angie

If I was using boneless chicken breast and broth how would I do the recipe. How much broth would I need and pretty much how would I do the recipe then?

I add carrots and a can of corn and a can of green beans, all my veggies in the pot. Then I don’t bother with sides

Yes Megan, just cut them into 1/4s and throw them into the pot, uncooked. Feel free to email me if you are trying to make this and have problems!

I’ve never made chicken and dumplings before but have always wanted to try. So you put uncooked biscuits in the pot?

Hi Marguerite,
Sorry if it was confusing. In this recipe I used a 4 pound chicken and put it in the crockpot. After it was deboned & cut up it yielded 7 cups. That is where you get your 3 cups shredded chicken to work with. Just freeze & use the left over chicken later!

Ok, I’m confused. The ingredients call for cooked chicken and in the first step we’re cooking the chicken — how much raw chicken should we start with to get the 7 cups of cooked shredded chicken?

This recipe looks delicious! Can’t wait to try it.

This sounds delicious! I can’t believe it’s so darn cheap for so many people. I’m going to try out this recipe. Thanks again for continuing to post great ideas.
