Notes
Time-Saving Tip: The chicken mixture may also be cooked on HIGH for 4 to 5 hours.
Recipe Note: Leaving the lid slightly ajar while the dumplings are cooking prevents condensation from dripping onto the dumplings.
Ingredient Note: This recipe was created with 4-to 5-ounce skinless, boneless chicken breast half per serving. However, there are a range of sizes available in-store, from the butcher counter to the meat case and the freezer section. Use whichever you prefer; just follow the recipe as written above for the best result. If you're using larger chicken breasts they may require a little longer cooking time.
