Chicken and Vegetables

- Set the crockpot to high and cover, cook for 3-4 hours, until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the crockpot. Shred or chop the chicken depending on your preference.
- Whisk in the remaining ⅓ cup flour to thicken the gravy. Add the chicken back to the crockpot.
Dumplings
- In a large bowl, add the flour, baking powder, coarse salt, and fresh parsley.
- Cut in the butter until evenly distributed then stir in milk.
- Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling mixture on top of the chicken and vegetables in the crockpot.
- Cover and allow the dumplings to cook through completely, about 1-1 ½ hours.
- Once the dumplings are cooked through, garnish with additional fresh parsley and enjoy!
