I Dusted Off the Crockpot Sunday...

Heard of Crockpot Girls on Facebook?  They were an overnight success and house a ton of crockpot recipes.  I do not use my crockpot often mainly because I have a fear of leaving it on during the work day.  I decided to bring it out Sunday and make one of the top rated recipes on their site, chicken and dumplings. 

Oh holy comfort food. 

Totally divine on cooler evenings!  It was a hit with Josh, which is a huge miracle because his mother makes chicken and dumplings.  I do not have a good track record of making foods that come up to the same standards!  Tyler loved it as well.  Ryan is picky, threw it on the floor, and ended up eating raisins....but I think it will grow on him.

Here is the recipe!

Chicken and Dumplings

Feel free to substitute any ingredients you wish, and increase/decrease amounts for the size of your family!

4 boneless/skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons of butter
1 (10.75 oz) can of cream of chicken soup
1 (10.75 oz) can of cream of celery soup
3 1/2 cups of chicken broth
1 onion, finely diced
1 cup celery, diced
1 cup carrots, diced
Chicken boullion seasoning or cube
salt & pepper

*As for the dumplings, you can make your own dumplings, or use 1 (10 oz) package of refrigerated biscuit dough, torn into pieces

1. EXCLUDING THE BISCUITS, put all ingredients in
2. Cover and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours.
3. About an hour (give or take) before serving, remove chicken and pull into pieces and return to the soup mixture.  Place the torn biscuit dough in and cook until the dough is no longer raw in the center.
