INGREDIENTS
  

8 SERVINGS

    COOK TIME: 5 HOURS 30 MINUTES

    • 3 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast
    • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
    • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
    • 1 small onion medium diced
    • 2 carrots sliced
    • 2 celery stalks sliced
    • 4 cloves garlic minced
    • 64 ounces chicken stock
    • 24 ounces frozen noodle style dumplings OR you can use Pillsbury and chop them up uncooked into cubes
    • Fresh chopped parsley for garnish optional

    INSTRUCTIONS

    • Place the chicken breasts into the bottom of a large slow cooker (I used an 8-quart slow cooker). Sprinkle the salt and pepper over the chicken.
    • Add the onion, carrots, and celery on top. Pour the chicken stock on top. Place the cooker on low for 4 hours or high for 3 hours.
    • Shred the chicken and add it back to the pot.
    • Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
    • Break the dumplings into thirds and add them one at a time to the pot.
    • Stir them in after every 5 or so dumplings you add in.
    • Place the cooker on high and cook an additional 1 to 1 and ½ hours, stirring every 15 minutes, this will help prevent the dumplings from sticking together and sticking to the pot.
    • It is ready when the dumplings are tender, puffed up, and the broth is thickened.
    • Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, optional.
    • ENJOY!
