Slow Cooker Chicken and Dumplings
4 chicken breasts, boneless skinless
2 tablespoons butter, diced
2 cans cream of chicken soup
1 onion, diced
2 rolls biscuits (10 ounce rolls), torn into small pieces
Place chicken, butter, soup and onion in slow cooker, fill with enough water to cover!.

Cover, cook on high for 4 - 5 hours!. Remove chicken, allow to cool until able to handle!. Shred into bite size pieces and return to slow cooker!.

Add torn biscuits to mixture!. Cover and allow to cook until dough is done, about 30 minutes!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

This is mine:

4 large chicken breasts boiled in 4 cans chicken stock with 1/2 onion, diced, 3 ribs celery, diced, 2 carrots, diced, 1 tsp!. salt, 1/2 tsp!. pepper, small handful of parsely, chopped, dried herbs (dash of each): oregano, basil, rosemary, and 3 cloves garlic, chopped!.
Heat to boil then reduce to low simmer for 45 mins!. When chicken begins to shredd, shredd it with 2 forks!.
You might find that the liquid has reduced too much!. If it has, add in 1 cup water!.

Add in 1/2 cup HEAVY CREAM and stir!.

Taste and re-season (more salt!?)!.

Bring back up to a simmer and heat on low while you mix bisquick bisquit mix into a thick batter!.

Drop spoonfuls of thick bisquick bisquit batter into the broth 1 at a time (don't drop them all on top of each other, move around the pot of soup as you drop)!. Drop in 3-4 small dumplings per person eating the soup!.

Let cook additional 10 minutes on low/medium or until the dumplings seem done!.

Other optional veggies to add:
peas
mushrooms
leeks (thoroughly washed!)
potatoes (peeled and diced)Www@FoodAQ@Com

for a one gal boiler add 2 cans of chicken broth or 3 cups cups broth from boiled chicken!. fill pot half way with milk and bring to a boil (stir often so you dont scorch the milk)

cut up one half pack of azteca tortillias in to strips (approx 1x2 in) or you can get them pre cut in the frozen food section!. add tortillias chicken and salt and pepper to tast and let cook for 5 min and remove from heat!.

you can substitute canned uncooked biscuits (not cressant rolls I tried it and they never would get done it ended up as mush) for the tortillias just flatten and cut but they take a few minutes longer to cook since its raw dough!.

If the juice is too thin before you add the dumplins mix a little cornstarch in a little water (not to thick but not to thin bout like pancake batter) and stir in and repeat til its thick enough for you!.

I'm sorry my reciepe isnt nice and measured out!. I use the "Dump it method" because I have dont it so much that I just "know" how much of what to add lol!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
