Slow Cooker Chicken and Dumplings

Slow Cooker Chicken and Dumplings is one of my favorite comfort meals to make and enjoy for dinner!  Whenever I make chicken and dumplings it brings back many childhood memories of being at my grandma’s house for Sunday dinner.  It was not uncommon to have this meal a lot during the winter or cold season.  If you were sick she believed a bowl of Chicken and Dumplings would make you feel better. This is one of 15 crockpot freezer meals that I prepped to help make back to school a breeze.

To prepare, combine all ingredients except frozen dumplings and water in a labeled freezer safe ziploc bag. When ready to cook, place in fridge overnight to thaw. Place contents of bag in a 6 QT slow cooker and add enough water to cover the ingredients. Place lid on and cook on low 8 hours. Remove chicken and shred, add back to slow cooker and add in bag of frozen dumplings. Place lid on and cook on high for 30-45 minutes til dumplings are done.

Since I love her recipe so much I decided to make it in the crockpot and adapt it to my style of using my slow cookers.  My husband and I love this soup, stew recipe and sometimes my boys enjoy it.  With the Fall season upon us I will be making this recipe a lot.  I also make it as a Slow Cooker Freezer Meal. Direction are listed below, so be sure to try  Slow Cooker Chicken and Dumplings soon, you will not be disappointed.
