Slow Cooker Chicken and Dumplings

And, when you cook with the slow cooker, you know that it’s not going to require a lot of effort. That’s the whole point of cooking in the crock pot.

It’s the shortcut of appliances–and so easy to use, you don’t have to stand over it and stir it. Heck, it looses all the heat it needs if you do!

So, grab your chicken and veggies and let’s get our chicken and dumplings on!
