Tips:
- Use a whole chicken: Using a whole chicken will give your dumplings more flavor and make more broth. Shredding the chicken when it's finished cooking is the easiest way to separate the meat from the bones.
- Don't overcook the dumplings: Overcooked dumplings will become tough and chewy. Drop them into the boiling broth and let them cook for 3-4 minutes, or until they've reached the desired consistency.
- Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for carrots and celery, but you can add any vegetables you like. Some other good options include potatoes, peas, and corn.
- Season the broth to taste: The broth is the most important part of this dish, so make sure it's flavorful. Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
- Serve immediately: Chicken and dumplings are best served immediately, while the dumplings are still light and fluffy. You can also store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Conclusion:
Slow cooker chicken and dumplings is a classic comfort food that's perfect for a cold winter day. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make the best chicken and dumplings you've ever had.
