I know this is a little late considering I posted the pictures on Wednesday but I am sure that once you taste it you will forgive me.
OH, and for the record, THIS IS NOT A SOUP OR A STEW like most recipes.
Rustic Chicken Recipe
Ingredients:
- 4 large boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1 large onion (the biggest that you can find)
- 3 cups of water
- 1 tbs of Chicken Bullion Powder (or 1 cube)
- 2 cups of mushrooms
- Palm-full of the following finely chopped:
- Fresh Rosemary
- Fresh Basil
- Fresh Parsley
- Cumin
- Paprika
- Black Pepper
Directions:
Combine all ingredients into the crock pot and cook on high for 4-5 hours or on low for 8.
Dumplings
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour (sifted)
- 2 teaspoons of baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoons of salt (I normally leave all additional salt out, but it is imp[ortant that you add it to this recipe.)
- 2 tablespoons of melted butter
- 3/4 cup of milk
- fresh herbs such as parsley, tarragon, chives, or dill to taste
Directions for Dumpling Batter:
- Sift together flower, baking powder, and salt in to a medium to large sized bowl.
- Add fresh herbs and mix thoroughly.
- Add melted butter and milk to dry ingredients.
- Mix gently with your fingers and avoid over mixing or dumplings will be tough and dense.
You may add more milk in small quantities to ensure that all flour is absorbed but be careful not to make batter t0o wet.
Cooking the Dumplings
About 20-30 minutes before you eat, drop tablespoons of dumpling batter onto the top of the chicken in slow cooker. they may not be fully immersed in the broth- that’s OK. Dumplings use steam to cook, so no worries. Cover pan and leave covered for 20 minutes. DO NOT OPEN CROCK POT BEFORE THE 20 MINS. ARE UP. If you are worried about the dumplings not cooking, leave for ten minutes longer.
How to Serve
Dish chicken and dumpling into a pasta dish if possible. using a ladle, pour some of the broth over the dumplings and chicken. Enjoy!
Thanks so much for sharing this yummy looking recipe!
good cooking recipe, going to give it a try in the near future, thats if i dont burn down the house.
I love me some chicken! Thanks for sharing that recipe. Here’s a quick tip for when you’re in a hurry and you need grilled chicken fast. First of all, you need to buy the pre-cooked grilled chicken packages at Sam’s Club. They are in the frozen section. They’re mesquite flavored…and quite tasty. So anyway, when you’re in a pinch, just pop these babies in the microwave (about 5 minutes for two), and they come out hot & ready to eat. You can cut them up into strips to use in a salad, eat them as is, or make a sandwich out of them.
