Easy Chicken and Dumplings

Okay, ladies ....

I received many requests for the Chicken and Dumplings recipe I talked about earlier today. I should have posted it earlier ... sorry.

I'll tell you first how much I have been craving Chicken and Dumplings. I wanted to try to make them myself, but didn't have a lot of time. With that said, I'll tell you it isn't easy for a Southern, slang-speaking girl to look up a recipe. Know what I mean? I checked out allrecipes.com and typed in chicken and dumplins and chicken dumplins - I got nothin!! DumplinGs sounds completely wrong to me and almost made me change my mind.

THEN, A friend of mine (Lisa B.) sent me some information I could hand out to the women in our bible study (recipes, beauty tips, etc.). I keep forgetting to make the copies (I don't have a brilliant bible study secretary like she does!), but glanced at the information briefly yesterday and saw this recipe. (It had to be God, right?) Anyway, I just happened to have all the ingredients, so I gave it a shot. Easy, easy ... so it's one of my new faves.

Easy Chicken and DumplinGs

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut in small chunks)
2 cans condensed cream of chicken soup
2 cups chicken broth
2 10oz. packages refrigerated biscuits
Salt and pepper to taste
(The recipe calls for 1/4 cup onion - finely chopped - but, I didn't put that in).

Combine all of the ingredients except for the biscuits in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low setting for 5 to 6 hours. Approximately 30 minutes before serving the meal, tear the refrigerated biscuits into small pieces and add to the slow cooker mixture, stirring gently. Re-cover and let cook remaining minutes until biscuits are fluffy and thoroughly cooked.

Yummo~

I love that the broth is soupy and creamy and not runny (how does that sound for gourmet?). We ate the leftovers tonight before church and they were still delicious.

So easy.

Update: That was a joke to Lisa B. We do have a nice church staff that helps us with everything. Thought I better add that :)

Thanks for the coverage on the blog, and the tips,,,if I were to blog I'd "worry" about how something would "read" in print too much but one day I may get those blogging lessons and start, I need some inspiration on a URL or a blogging name and I'm sure
Lisa has already been taken, I think I've seen it a few times somewhere, I have joined Facebook and its okay, I just don't understand all those gifts and superpoke pets everybody gives you so I just ignore them all, it amazing I still have friends, right? Have a great evening ! Love ya sis and praying for E. and E. and O. and you 2 !
