CROCKPOT CHICKEN & DUMPLINGS

Prep-to-Eat Time: Approx. 6 hours

Ingredients:

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or cutlets

2 10.75-oz. condensed cream of chicken soup

1 white onion

2 stalks of celery

Refrigerated biscuit dough

Water

Garlic powder

Crushed red pepper

Salt

Pepper

 

Directions:

Put chicken in the crockpot and cover with soup. Using one of the empty soup cans, pour 2 cans worth of water into the crockpot and stir until well combined.

Chop onion into 1/2-inch chunks and add to the crockpot. Chop celery and add to the crockpot.

Season generously with garlic powder, salt, and pepper; add a couple dashes of crushed red pepper (depending on how much spice you want it to have). Stir until well combined.

Cook on low 6-8 hours. The chicken should become tender enough to use tongs to shred it within the crockpot (if not, use tongs to take the chicken out and cut it into chunks, then put it back into the crockpot).

About 90 minutes before serving, tear the biscuit dough into small chunks and add it to the crockpot; give it a light stir.

Once the dough is cooked through, the dish is ready to be served!
