It was good, but not our taste. Before I tell you why, let me tell you what it is.
I found a pin with a recipe for Chicken and Dumplings...in the crock pot! Well, what good southern wife doesn't make chicken and dumplings for her hubby? I gathered my ingredients and wrassled my giant crock pot out of the cabinet it resides in. I started dumping everything in before I realized I only had 1 of the 2 cans of cream of chicken that the recipe calls for. I did have a can of broccoli cheese soup, so I used that. It gave the dish an interesting touch.
The chicken was very tasty and very tender, but the dumplings just weren't for us. I prefer Cracker Barrel dumplings! Plus, using canned soups adds a lot of extra sodium. Neither of use like a lot of salt, so it was a bit much.
I may make chicken using the recipe, but with my own cream soup base and without the dumplings. That way it would be low-carb too. I think it would be pretty similar to my grandmother's chicken stew recipe then. Hm...maybe that will be on the menu next week!
