My boyfriend will love you for this. He has been wanting to make chicken and dumplings for awhile now. I have a crock pot but I seldom use it. I really don't know what to cook in one and I lost my book that came with it. Thanks for the recipe.

Crock pots can be fun. You can cook almost anything in them that you cook in the oven or on the stove.

Thanks Carpenter5 for sharing your recipe.
This is one I will have to try. I'm always looking for recipes where I can use the crock pot (yeah, I'm lazy but I like to eat :)) and ones that use chicken as the main dish. This is the first one I have ever seen where the dumplings were made of stuffing mix. Sounds delicious...can hardly wait to try it.
Have a great day,
Kowgirl

I broke the pot to my slow cooker. I'm going to have to replace it before I can cook in it again. I'm sad. lol

Crockpots are wonderful things. I appreciate the recipes that are shared here. Chicken is a favorite in the slow cooker. Thanks so much for sharing this here at Mylot for all to see.
I just might used this one today with my Sunday Chicken.

I almost always keep chicken for that very reason. It's just so easy.
