Instructions

  • Tips

    • Ingredient Note: We develop our recipes using a 4-to 5-ounce skinless, boneless chicken breast half per serving. However, there are a range of sizes available in-store, from the butcher counter to the meat case and the freezer section. Use whichever you prefer- just follow the recipe as written above for the best result. If you're using larger chicken breasts they may require a little longer cooking time.

  • Step 1

    Season the chicken as desired.  Stir the chicken, carrots, celery, onion, broth and poultry seasoning in a 6-quart slow cooker.

  • Step 2

    Cover and cook on HIGH for 4 hours or until the chicken is cooked through.  Remove the chicken to a cutting board.  Using 2 forks, shred the chicken.

  • Step 3

    Stir 1/3 cup flour and the water in a small bowl until the mixture is smooth. Stir the flour mixture into the cooker.  Return the chicken to the cooker.  Cover.

  • Step 4

    Stir the remaining 2 cups flour, baking powder, milk, thyme and salt in a medium bowl. Drop the batter by rounded tablespoonfuls over the chicken mixture. Cover and cook on HIGH for 50 minutes or until the dumplings are cooked through.
