    What does 'bump' mean?

    It is just something people put to bring that thread back to the top so they can read it later.

    I do this all the time. Sometimes I use Sprite, it makes no difference:) Also, I put the BBQ in after the pork and soda are done cooking and shredded.

    Yum!

    Crockpot Clean Eating Chicken And Dumplings

    (Makes approximately 5 quarts)

    Stew Ingredients

    6 cups low-sodium chicken broth (no sugar/dextrose added)
    1 tbsp. marjoram
    1 tbsp.. garlic powder
    4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts – cut into small chunks
    2 tbsp. olive oil
    1 large onion – peeled and diced
    4 large carrots, peeled and sliced
    4 stalks celery, cleaned and sliced

    Dumpling Ingredients

    (This is a recipe redo. Find the original here.)
    2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
    1 tbsp. baking soda
    1/2 tsp. salt
    3 tbsp. olive oil
    1 cup milk (any milk you typically use is fine. I currently use unsweetened almond milk.)

    STEW DIRECTIONS

    Step 1 – Pour the broth into your crock pot

    Step 2 – Add the marjoram and garlic powder to the broth and turn the crock pot to high

    Step 3 – In a pan, combine the olive oil, onion, carrots and celery. Saute until the onions are translucent.

    Step 4 – Add the veggies and cut up chicken to the crock pot.

    DUMPLING DIRECTIONS

    Step 1 – In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking soda and salt. Whisk to blend well.

    Step 2 – Pour in the oil and milk and mix with a wooden spoon.

    Step 3 – (Be sure the broth is hot before adding the dumplings to the pot) Using two teaspoons, scoop up and round off your dumplings and scrap into your pot. (Just like making drop cookies)

    SLOW COOKER – I cooked this on high for about 3-1/2 hours. But if you need to cook it longer because you are leaving for the day (or cooking overnight), turn the slow cooker to low and cook until the dumplings and chicken are cooked through. (My guess is about 6-8 hours). It’s important to know how your crock pot cooks here. Every crock pot is slightly different.

    Also, the dumplings will look a little odd after they have been cooking at the top of the stew all day. They create a sort of “crust-like” cover. Just break them up with a wooden spoon and stir them into the stew to finish cooking. Simply break one open to be sure it’s cooked all the way through.

    Eat and Enjoy!
