Slow cooker Sunday! Crockpot chicken and dumplings!

Happy Sunday night, everyone!  Are you all enjoying the Golden Globes??  I love this stuff - I love seeing who's there, what they're wearing, what movies are nominated (and then get added to the list of movies I have to see in my lifetime)...and I always keep track of how many times I see Leo;)  Husband, I love you more than Leo, don't forget;)

Anyways, today I went to a wonderful baby shower for a dear friend, and while I was gone, I had the crockpot a-going with what I hoped would be a wonderful dinner of chicken and dumplings that we would enjoy when I got home.  Got home, smelled amazing, and all I had to do was add the Pillsbury uncooked biscuits in the crockpot and they were supposed to magically cook in there and make the dumplings.  That went horribly horribly....horribly wrong.  They didn't cook a bit.  The husband says they did and he liked it...I say the other parts of, around the gooey dough, were great, but the dough, uh no.  This is really the first debacle I've had in our kitchen, so I guess that's pretty good.  Of course, I'm disappointed in how it turned out and that I didn't think about the recipe I was following ahead of time and realize that the dough probably wasn't going to cook in the water, but, what can you do - you just try to make it better next time:)

I'm going to list what I did and what I used, and I'm hoping some of you will share your snaff-u's but also ways I can fix this recipe, as I don't want to throw it in the trash...but I'm thisssss close....

Crockpot Chicken Dumplings from cooks.com:

What you'll need:

1-2 lbs chicken breast - I bought it in thin strips1 can cream of chicken soup2 cans chicken broth
1 cup water1 can of potatoes1 can carrots1 cup frozen peas1 cup frozen cornseasonings - I used salt, pepper, poultry seasoning, CRP, and garlic powder1 canister Pillsbury grand biscuits, uncooked  So simple - place the chicken in the crockpot and add the soup, water, broth, veggies, and seasonings - cook on low for at least 5 hours, or until chicken is cooked thru - for me, it was 5.5 hours.  Easy enough right?
