Time 5h10m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 chicken, 3 1/2-4 pound
2 carrots, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 yellow onion, quartered
1 rib celery, cut into 2 inch pieces
1 bay leaf
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces and chilled
1/2 cup milk
1 egg

Steps:

  • Trim chicken of excess skin and fat.
  • Place chicken in a slow cooker. Pour in cold water to cover by 1 inch and add carrots, onion, celery, and bay leaf. Cover and cook 3-4 hours on high or 6-7 hours on low, or until chicken is falling off the bones.
  • Remove chicken from the slow cooker and set aside to cool. When chicken is cool enough to handle, remove the meat and shred into large pieces.
  • Strain broth into a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-high, and cook until reduced to 6 cups, about 10 minutes.
  • In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add flour and whisk until smooth. Pour in the reduced broth, raise the heat to high, and bring to a boil. Cook, whisking constantly, until smooth and thickened, 8-10 minutes. Add chicken and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to slow cooker and set temperature to high.
  • For Dumplings: In a bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add butter and work into the dry ingredients with fingers or pastry cutter until the texture of small peas. Gently stir in the milk and egg to form a sticky batter. Drop heaping spoonfuls of dough into simmering sauce and chicken, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until dumplings are fluffy, about 30 minutes.
  • You may also cook in a large Dutch oven. Cook chicken 2 hours; follow other directions but cook only 15 minutes after adding dumplings.
