Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Combine chicken broth, chicken, potatoes, carrots, and broccoli in a slow cooker.

02

Step
5 mins

In a separate bowl, whisk together water and quick-mixing flour until smooth. Stir the mixture into the slow cooker, and season with salt and pepper.

03

Step
5 hrs

Cook on Low heat for 5 hours.

04

Step
5 mins

In another bowl, combine the baking mix and milk and stir until just combined. Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling mixture into the slow cooker, spacing them evenly over the chicken mixture.

05

Step
1 hrs

Continue cooking on Low heat, turning the dumplings once halfway through, until they are cooked through, about 1 hour.

For an even richer flavor, consider using bone-in chicken thighs. Remove the bones after cooking and shred the meat.
Feel free to substitute your favorite vegetables. Celery, peas, or corn would all be delicious additions.
For extra fluffy dumplings, avoid overmixing the batter. A few lumps are perfectly fine.
A slow cooker liner can be used for easy clean-up.
