Crockpot Chicken & Dumplings

This chicken and dumplings recipe is so delicious and the best part is, it's all done in the crockpot.  I've been looking for a good recipe, but when I searched on Pinterest they were all made with "cream of chemical" soups.  So I just threw in a bunch of stuff, turned it on, and crossed my fingers.  The outcome was a warm, creamy, and delicious soup that is guaranteed to become a family favorite :)

Ingredients:

For Soup:

• 1 package chicken breasts
• 4 Tbsp. margarine/butter
• 2 boxes ( 32 oz) chicken broth
• 2 carrots, peeled and diced
• 1 bag frozen corn
• 3 stalks of celery, chopped
• 1/2 sweet onion, chopped
• 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp. onion powder
• 1 Tbsp. dried parsley

For Dumplings:

• 2 cups flour
• 1 cup milk
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 Tbsp. baking powder

Directions:

Add in chicken breasts to the bottom of your crockpot.  Add in all soup ingredients and cook on LOW for 7 hours.  When the chicken is cooked, remove from crockpot and shred or break apart with two forks.  Add back into broth.

For the dumplings, combine all ingredients and mix well.  Drop dough by round tablespoons into the soup.  Cover.  Cook 1 hour on high.

Serve warm.

Enjoy!

Note:  For a thinner soup, add in some more chicken broth.  
For a thicker consistency, you can add in 1-2 Tbsp. of cornstarch.
