Crock Pot Chicken and Dumplings

So here's another crock pot recipe for all you folks out there.  I only have one picture of it finished in the CP, but trust me it tastes pretty good! :-)  I made this on Monday, November 21, 2011 to welcome my sister and grandparents on their arrival to spend the holiday with us.  If you make it, I hope you enjoy! :-)

Finished Dinner

Ingredients:

·         2 large chicken breast

·         1 lb potatoes

·         2 carrots, sliced

·         2 stalks of celery, sliced

·         ½ med to large onion, diced

·         4 cups of chicken broth

·         1 ½ TBSP flour

·         ¾ TBSP dried thyme leaves

·         ¾ TBSP garlic powder

·         ½ bag frozen peas

·         1 ½ cup Bisquick

·         ½ cup milk

·         2 TBSP melted butter

·         1 TBSP snipped chives

·         2 TBSP grated parmesan cheese

Directions:

1.       In a 4 quart crock pot (or larger), mix potatoes, carrots, celery and onions.  In a bowl, combine the chicken broth, flour, dried thyme and garlic powder until smooth.  Pour over vegetables in the crock pot.

2.       Add the chicken, put the lid on and cook on low 6-7 hours.

3.       Chicken will be done; remove and shred.  Return chicken to crock pot and stir to combine.

4.       In a bowl, combine Bisquick with milk, butter, chives, and parmesan cheese.  Mix until combined; do not over mix. 

5.       Turn crock pot on High.  Add frozen peas and stir to combine.  Drop spoonfuls of dumpling mix into the crock pot (this will be more difficult with a smaller crock pot, works pretty well in my 6 quart size).  Cover and cook additional 30 minutes.  Dumplings are done when a toothpick inserted into the dough removes cleanly.
