Crock-Pot Chicken & Potato Dumplings

COMFORT FOOD AT ITS FINEST

YIELD 4 to 6 servings
TIME 4 hours 30 minutes

If comfort food had a name it would be Chicken & Dumplings. Making this cozy cold weather favorite doesn’t mean you have to spend all day in the kitchen. We have a couple shortcuts up our sleeve that save time but don’t skimp on flavor. By using a slow cooker, the chicken can gently braise as well as develop a richer stock. We use Idaho Spuds Classic Mashed Potatoes in the dumplings for instant fuller flavor in this classic remake.
