Slow-Cooked Chicken and Fluffy Dumplings
Ingredients:
1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
4 cups chicken broth
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 large onion, chopped
2 carrots, sliced
2 celery stalks, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried parsley
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp paprika
1 bay leaf
1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp baking powder
Directions:
Place the chicken breasts, chopped onion, carrots, celery, garlic, thyme, parsley, bay leaf, salt, pepper, and paprika into the CrockPot. Pour in the chicken broth.
Cover and cook on low for 6 hours, or until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
Remove the chicken from the CrockPot, shred it with two forks, and return it to the pot.
In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the milk until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Drop spoonfuls of the dough on top of the chicken mixture in the CrockPot. Cover and cook on high for an additional 1-2 hours, or until the dumplings are fully cooked and fluffy.
Stir in the heavy cream just before serving to make the sauce rich and creamy.
