Notes


Recipe Tips:




  • Time-Saving: This recipe may also be cooked on HIGH for 4 to 5 hours.




  • Serving Suggestion: Serve with spinach salad: baby spinach leaves topped with orange sections, dried cranberries and raspberry-pecan vinaigrette. For dessert serve wedges of mixed berry pie with whipped topping.




  • Cooking Basics: True "baby" carrots are a seasonal vegetable available in spring and early summer and are sold in bunches with the green tops left on. They can usually be found in upscale grocery stores or farmers' markets. "Baby-cut" carrots are mature carrots that have been peeled and cut into small carrot-shaped pieces. They are widely available year round in the produce section of most grocery stores.

My dumplings always turn out dense and flat. How can I avoid this.

I haven't made this yet, but it sounds absolutely delicious. My issue is the high sodium content. I have high blood pressure and stick to a low-sodium diet. Canned products usually contain a lot of sodium and I stay away from them. I do use canned tomato sauce when I make pasta dishes like spaghetti or lasagne. But I don't add salt, doesn't need it, and I add water to my sauces. I've never liked a lot of salt in my food....I need just enough to where the food isn't bland tasting. But is there a salt-free or low-sodium cream of chicken soup available? Or perhaps a way to cut the sodium in half at least.

Think I will stick with the tried and true orginal southern chicken and dumplings

I have never had potatoes in my chicken and dumplings so will leave them out.

And I have never NOT had potatoes in my chicken and dumplings. But I have never put celery in mine. I did try this crock pot method just yesterday and it turned out great. My husband has always said that my chicken and dumplings were what made him fall in love with me. :-)
