  • Tips

    • Time-Saving: This recipe may also be cooked on HIGH for 4 to 5 hours.
    • Cooking Basics: True "baby" carrots are a seasonal vegetable available in spring and early summer and are sold in bunches with the green tops left on. They can usually be found in upscale grocery stores or farmers' markets. "Baby-cut" carrots are mature carrots that have been peeled and cut into small carrot-shaped pieces. They are widely available year round in the produce section of most grocery stores.

  • Step 1

    Stir the chicken, potatoes, carrots, celery, soup, water, thyme and black pepper in a 6-quart slow cooker.

  • Step 2

    Cover and cook on LOW for 7 to 8 hours or until the chicken is cooked through.

  • Step 3

    Stir the baking mix, milk and parsley in a medium bowl.  Drop the batter by spoonfuls onto the chicken mixture.  Increase the heat to HIGH.  Cover and cook for 30 minutes or until the dumplings are cooked in the center.  Sprinkle with the cheese and cover until the cheese is melted before serving.

    I used the chicken on hand; 1 lb. breast meat. I also substituted refrigerator biscuits for dumplings, reducing dumpling cooking time to 15 minutes. I pre-cooked the fresh chicken while I was chopping the vegetables, reducing total cooking time to 4-1/2 hours. The cooking time was determined by the doneness of the potatoes & carrots. Serves 4-5. This is definitely something I will do again.

    Disappointed on how the dumplings turned out. Didn't cook very well in a slow cooker. Taste was fine dumplings were gooey and sucked up all the juice. Cook the dumplings in a separate pot in chicken stock would be better.

  • Great recipe!

    The recipe is simple and taste really good. My family enjoyed the meal. I will be making this recipe often, but in the future, I will add sweet peas and onions to the recipe and use chicken stock instead of water to add more flavor.

  • Great Slow Cooker Recipe

    This recipe is so good I've made it several times. However, I boil the dumplings in chicken broth towards the end and then add both the broth and the dumplings to the crockpot, otherwise the dumplings are too dry.
