Crockpot Chicken & Dumplings - Clean Eating

I've made chicken & dumplings a million times before, but never found my "perfect" mess of ingredients. I think I have discovered what works best for our family. The best part? It's all clean. No cream of whatevers, just good, wholesome food. Perfect for the changing weather.



Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
32 oz chicken broth (use your own or organic boxed)
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon parsley
2 large carrots
3 stalks of celery

(for dumplings)
2 cups of whole wheat pastry flour
1 tablespoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup of milk 

Place all stew ingredients into the crock pot. Turn on low. Mix dry ingredients for dumplings in a large bowl. Add in wet ingredients and mix until combined well. Ball the dough mix and drop softly onto the top of the stew. Cook on low for 6 hours or high for 3 hours. Check the chicken and dumplings to be sure it is cooked thoroughly before serving. Shred your chicken with 2 forks (should be super easy to do if done) and then serve.
