Crockpot Chicken and Dumplings - Weekend Recipe

EDIT: Nothing like presetting all the monthly recipes to take care of the posting so I can lecture prep and realizing that it never happened 2 months into the process.  So if you were expecting these recipes to post during the month for your enjoyment, I am sorry.  If you want to find the recipes which have now posted, try out the links below in the theme list.

Crock Pot Chicken and Dumplings
This version I found Flour on my Face by Arlene Mobley and adapted.  It is cold, it is not snowy here like it should be and but I still want my comfort food.  So this a perfect recipe that is easy and wonderful and allows me to spend my time reading books!



4 boneless chicken breasts
6 cups chicken broth
1 medium onion
3­6 bay leaves
salt
pepper
1­2 cans of biscuits
1 Tbls parsley
1 Tbls savory

Directions
Put the first 6 ingredients in a crock pot and cook on high for 4 hours. Remove the chicken breasts from the crock pot. Carefully strain the hot broth removing the onion, bay leaves and any sediments. Return the broth to the crock pot.

Cut or pull the chicken into bite size pieces. Return chicken to the crock pot and heat on high for about 30 minutes. Cut biscuits into 4ths or strips. Drop biscuit pieces into the crock pot and stir. Return the lid and cook until the biscuits are cooked through, about 30­60 minutes depending on how many biscuits you use.

To thicken the gravy mix 2 teaspoons flour with 2 teaspoons water until lumps are gone. Add to crock pot, along with remaining herbs and stir. Replace lid and cook on high until biscuits are cooked through and gravy has thickened.
RECIPE THEME:
