Chicken and Vegetables

Chicken: Boneless skinless chicken breasts. Yellow Onion: Onion is a classic flavor in chicken and dumplings. Celery: Adds a fresh taste and crunch. Carrots: An excellent source of fiber and texture. Unsalted Butter: I prefer unsalted butter, but salted butter works too. Chicken Broth: This is the base of the recipe, but it will eventually thicken because of the addition of flour. Green Beans: Adds more nutrition, flavor, and color. Oregano, Thyme, and Parsley: Seasoning with herbs will make all the difference because it brings out the flavors. Salt and Pepper: Season with salt and pepper to taste to help balance the flavors. All-Purpose Flour: This helps thicken the broth.

Dumplings

All-Purpose Flour: The base of the dumplings. Baking Powder: This is the key to achieving the perfect dumpling mixture. Coarse Salt: A little goes a long way but also enhances the flavor. Fresh Parsley: The addition of parsley dumplings adds flavor. Unsalted Butter: Use cold butter that has been cut into cubes. Whole Milk: The higher fat content in the milk creates fluffier dumplings.

Chicken and Vegetables

Dumplings

Prep the Veggies: Chop the veggies ahead of time! The veggies can sit in the fridge until you’re ready to throw your dinner in the crockpot. Having them prepped ahead of time makes assembly a breeze! Fresh Herbs: I prefer to use fresh herbs when I make this dish, but dried herbs also work great! Because fresh herbs always enhance the flavors. Dumpling Tips: Keep the lid on because it helps to steam the dumplings. The dumplings will look cakey, however, they will be cooked through.

In the Refrigerator: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. I store my dumplings right with the chicken and vegetables. No need to separate them. To Reheat: Pop leftovers in the microwave for 30-second intervals or until warmed through. You can also warm it over the stove on medium heat! Warm leftovers are the best!
