The greatest comfort food is definitely Crock Pot Chicken and Dumplings. In a delicious creamy brothy gravy, tender juicy shredded chicken and soft dumplings are served.
Don’t get me wrong, I love homemade Old Fashioned Chicken and Dumplings, but with a busy household and kids, I understand that time is limited and I don’t always have hours to devote to preparing a full Sunday dinner from scratch.
