Slow Cooker Chicken and Dumplings

My Katy’s favorite supper in the entire world is Chicken and Dumplings. So much so that I try to never ask her what she wants for supper because I know the answer – and we just can’t have chicken and dumplings seven days a week despite how happy that would make her.

Over the years, though, I’ve come up with a few different ways of making it that suit my schedule a little better. This is my slow cooker version and it is packed with that delicious flavor that leaves you taking one bite and the next thing you know your plate is empty.

This recipe appears in the limited edition magazine, Southern Plate Suppers – and I’m sharing it with you today as a preview of some of the exclusive recipes in that issue! More information on the magazine can be found below the recipe.

Recipes for homemade cream soup can be found in my second book, Come Home To Supper (click here)

*If you like, just add an extra boneless skinless chicken breast in place of the thighs for less fuss.
