Directions
Combin the chicken broth, chicken, potatoes, carrots, and broccoli in your slow cooker. In a small bowl, whisk together the water and quick-mixing flour until it forms a smooth, paste-like batter, then stir that into the slow cooker. Season everything with a little salt and pepper. Let it cook on low for about 5 hours. When that’s done, mix the baking mix and milk together until it’s well combined. Drop spoonfuls of this batter on top of the chicken mixture in the slow cooker. Keep cooking for another hour, gently turning the dumplings once halfway through, until they’re fully cooked and fluffy. Enjoy!
Serving Guide
Serve this meal with a side of steamed green beans or a simple salad. A slice of crusty bread also pairs well to soak up the flavorful broth. It’s a hearty dish that stands well on its own too.
Freezing Tips
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of broth or water if it seems too thick. This dish can also be frozen, but dumplings may change texture slightly after thawing.
