Super Simple Crockpot Chicken & Biscuits (Also Freezer Meal Option)

Do you want a super simple crockpot meal that is comfort food at its best?  

Crockpot Chicken & Biscuits is it!  You put chicken, cream of chicken soup and water in a crockpot. This takes me maybe two minutes tops to assemble. Cook all day (8-10 hours) and then after cooked, top with canned biscuits and finish off in the oven.  The recipe is SUPER SIMPLE!

(I just tell every little thing here so it may look like a long recipe but the recipe is simple. Like - five steps! lol)

CROCKPOT CHICKEN AND BISCUITS

• 6-10 pieces of chicken (I use boneless, skinless breast tenders.) (Thaw the chicken is using bone-in chicken.)
• 1 regular can cream of chicken soup (generic is fine or even homemade) 
• 1 1/2 can water (use the can from the cream of chicken soup) 
• pepper (optional) (there's plenty of salt in the soup so I don't add any salt)
• 1 can of biscuits (We use generic Grands biscuits.)

*NOTE:  You must use a crockpot that has a removable insert for making this dish. 

Instructions:

First thing in the morning, dump some chicken pieces in the crockpot.  (I use 4-6 boneless breasts or 6-8 boneless breast tenders.)

Dump on a can of cream of chicken soup along with 1 1/2 cans of water. Stir a little.  (This takes a total of about 90 seconds, seriously!) 

Sprinkle on some pepper if you want.  I don't salt it because the soup is salty enough for us.

Cover with the crockpot lid and cook on low 8-10 hours.

Before serving:

• Preheat the oven to 400°.  
• Top the hot chicken/gravy with 1 can of biscuits. (I have even made homemade biscuits to drop on top.)  They may sink a little.  That's ok, they will rise to the top during baking!
• Remove the ceramic insert from the crockpot (with the chicken/gravy/biscuits inside) (its HOT so use potholders).  
• Remove the lid.
• Place the ceramic insert (without the lid) in a preheated 400 degree oven for 8-10 minutes or until the biscuits are browning.

Take it out of the oven, get the table set, and DIG RIGHT IN!

We serve this sometimes with mashed potatoes or just the chicken & biscuits.  

This is a pic of the unbaked biscuits lying on top of the chicken/gravy before placing in the oven.  You then place the crockpot insert (no lid) in the oven to bake the biscuits.

HINT:  You can turn this into a FROZEN crockpot meal!

• Write on a gallon, freezer zip bag:  

"CHICKEN & BISCUITS STARTER 

Thaw overnight in fridge.

Dump in crockpot. 

Cook on LOW 8-10 hrs.

Then, top with unbaked canned biscuits.

Bake (uncovered) at 400 until biscuits are brown."

• Place can cream of chicken soup + 1 1/2 can of water in the bag.
• Top with frozen chicken (or fresh chicken if just purchased).
• Zip bag & place in the freezer.
• Keep canned biscuits in the fridge for adding to the top.

Enjoy!
