Super easy and super yummy chicken and dumplings for your slow cooker.
If you make this recipe, come back and me know how it turned out. I’d love to hear!
You’ll need:
1 whole chicken (2 1/2 to 3 lbs)
28-64 ounces of chicken broth
2 cups all-purpose (plain) flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons butter (softened)
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
Directions:
Unwrap chicken and remove giblet bag from inside.
Place in slow cooker.
Pour in chicken stock. You need to fill the pot, so add water to make up the difference for the amount of broth you don’t have.
Add 1 teaspoon of salt and set temperature on high.
Let simmer for 6-8 hours. The meat should be falling off the bone.
Remove the chicken from the broth and place in another bowl until it is cool to the touch.
Mix the flour, salt, flour, egg and milk in a large bowl. Mix until a ball forms.
Roll until 1/8″ thick.
Cut into bite-sized pieces.
Add dumplings to slow cooker (keep temperature on high).
When chicken is cool, separate the meat to use in recipes and scraps and bones to discard.
When dumplings are floating, they are done.
Add chicken back to the pot and let the chicken and dumplings simmer together for another 20 to 30 minutes.
I suggest a healthy dose of black pepper on each serving.
This recipe is very simple and really doesn’t take long to prepare.
When I compute the cost of each recipe I count the cost of items purchased specifically to make the dish. I don’t count the costs of items I consider to be staples you should/could already have in your kitchen, like milk (unless the recipe calls for large amounts of the item). A list of these items is available on my channel.
Enjoy!
