Crockpot Chicken and Dumplings

1. Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 carrots, peeled and diced
• 2 stalks celery, diced
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 2 teaspoons dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Directions:

1. Place chicken, onion, carrots, celery, chicken broth, thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper in the crockpot. Cook on low for 6-7 hours until chicken is tender.
2. About an hour before serving, shred the chicken in the crockpot using two forks.
3. In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir in milk and melted butter to form a soft dough.
4. Drop tablespoon-sized dollops of the dough into the crockpot. Cover and cook on high for another hour until the dumplings are fluffy and cooked through.
5. Stir in heavy cream just before serving. Adjust seasoning as needed.
