Crockpot Chicken and Dumplings

(between Nate, Ari, Alaynna and I this made one dinner- no leftovers)

2 Boneless Skinless chicken Breast

Bunch of carrots chopped

One Onion Sliced into rings

2 cans of cream of chicken soup

2 cans of the SMALL Pillsbury biscuits (you can find a four pack for $2)

2 Cans water

Slice onions into rings, lay on the bottom of the crockpot

Throw a few handfuls of chopped carrots on top of the onions

Put chicken breast on top of that

Dump in two cans of cream of chicken

Put in two cans of water

Cook on Low all day- 8 hours?

Open two packages of biscuits, and slice each biscuit into 1/4s

Put these into the crockpot with your chicken mixture and turn up to high

Will be done in about ½ hour! You know dumplings are done when the outside is still “wet” but the inside is cooked

In terms of cost- I have to say not bad. I buy store brand just about everything. Including cream of _____ soup :)

Ingredient Cost:

2 Boneless Skinless chicken Breast  ---- in this case, these were free- normally, $2.5

Bunch of carrots chopped - Part of a bag- .50

One Onion Sliced into rings --- .89

2 cans of cream of chicken soup  --- 1.3

2 cans of the SMALL Pillsbury biscuits (you can find a four pack for $2) -$1

2 Cans water --- FREE :)

2 TBS Butter- .11

$6.30- NOT my best savings meal, but thats $1.57 a serving :) (and in this case with the free chicken that was only .95 per serving!)  And that I can get behind!  

Good Ideas- limit the fat- Boneless, Skinless Chicken

98% fat free cream of chicken soup!!! Real veggies mean no extra soduim!

I have to say- hubby had two plates full, and I had two bowls. YUM!
