Thanks to 'Learnin' for this one. I looked for a slow cooker recipe with dumplings. The family thought it was great, i found it a little bland. I'll experiment with additional spices next time. We don't have baking mix so I used the recommended 'zaar' baking mix -- it needed more than 1/2C of milk to get a batter. The dumplings were really good. Yes, we will make it again.

This was pretty tasty. I cut the chicken breasts into chunks and also added in some frozen peas for the last hour or so of cooking. I did need to add in some flour mixed with a bit of water to thicken the gravy as it was somewhat thin. Next time I will make 1 1/2 or even 2 times as many dumplings as the 1 cup of baking mix doesn't make very many. All in all, a good easy go-to recipe though.
