Nothing fills your stomach quite so well as chicken and dumplings. A staple of winter eating, they don't have to be complex to make! This recipe uses just a few ingredients, and can be adapted however you'd like. Add in some carrots or celery if you'd like! Also note: this recipe is for a small slow-cooker. If you have a larger one, double the amounts listed.
Slow-Cooker Chicken and Dumplings
Ingredients:
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 can condensed cream of chicken soup
1 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons ice cold water
1/2 an onion, minced
2 carrots, sliced
1. Put chicken, minced onion, sliced carrots, butter, cream of chicken soup, and broth in slow-cooker. Cook on low for 6-8 hours.
2. If you used bone-in chicken, remove skin and bones from chicken. Use a fork or other utensil to break up the chicken, and set slow-cooker to high.
3. At this point mix your flour with the ice cold water (you might need to add more flour or water to get the right consistency). Knead until it is damp all the way through. If you are obsessive about the size of your dumplings, roll the dough out and cut into 1/2-inch squares. I just tore small pieces off of my ball of dough. Drop the dough bits into the slow-cooker and stir. Cook for another 45 minutes-1 hour.
3. Serve and enjoy!
Gluten-Free Version:
