CROCKPOT CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS
Just another in probably a long line of crockpot chicken and dumplings recipes on the web, but I love it all the same. If you feel the recipe is not chicken flavored enough, I suggest substituting chicken broth for the two can fulls of water.

Steps:
- Mix all the ingredients together in a crockpot except for the dumplings and cook for 4-6 hours (or until carrots are tender enough to easily cut).
- Slowly add in frozen dumplings one layer at a time and bathe sufficiently in broth from crockpot so dumplings won't stick while adding in the multiple layers. I usually only get half a packs worth of dumplings in the crockpot before I run out of room. Once you have gotten all your noodles in, let the dumplings cook for approximately 20 minutes.
- Turn the crokpot off or down to keep warm setting and allow 15 minutes to cool before serving. You will be lucky if there are leftovers.
