Easy-Peasy Creamy Italian Crock Pot Chicken

Submitted by Cinnamom in Illinois

"This is so easy, it's almost embarassing posting it. Perhaps a version is already here, but this is how we do it. Try the chicken with homemade dumplings, like my daughter begs for, but DO make the dumplings separately in a steamer or separate pan, or it will take longer than an "easy-peasy" recipe calls for!"
