Ingredients
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon seasoning salt (Lawry's or Jane’s Krazy Mixed-Up Salt)
- 10 ½ ounces cream of chicken soup
- 10 ½ ounces chicken broth (measure in the empty soup can)
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
- 1 chicken bouillon cube
- 2 cups chicken broth (may need more, up to 3 cups)
- 12 ounces frozen homestyle dumplings
Instructions
- Sprinkle chicken breasts with seasoning salt and place in the bottom of a slow cooker. Add cream of chicken soup, the soup can of chicken broth, black pepper, and butter.
- Cover and cook on high for 5 hours.
- Remove chicken breasts. Use two forks to pull the chicken breasts into shreds. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker.
- Add the parsley, bouillon, broth, and dumplings. Cook for an additional 2-3 hours or until dumplings are tender. Stir several times during the final cooking period to prevent dumplings from sticking together.
- (Note: the dumplings will absorb quite a bit of liquid while cooking. If the mixture becomes too thick, add water or additional broth as needed.)
Notes
- To thicken the finished recipe, remove about ½ cup of the liquid and whisk it together with two teaspoons of cornstarch. Slowly stir the mixture back into the cooker.
- Test to make sure the dumplings are cooked through before serving. If not, let it cook for another 30 minutes and test again.
- To make ahead and freeze -- Let the chicken and dumplings cool completely. Then transfer to a freezer safe container. Store in the freezer for up to 5 months. To serve, thaw overnight in the fridge. Reheat on the stovetop over low heat, stirring frequently. May need to add a little water or broth as you're reheating.
