Crockery Pot Chicken and Dumplings


From the Kitchen of:  Sammie
Source:  My Mom

Wash chicken pieces; cut away excess fat. Place raw chicken pieces in Crockery Pot with largest bony pieces on bottom. Add broth; sprinkle chicken with salt, pepper, poultry seasoning. Add celery and carrots on top. Cover. Cook 7 to 9 hours on low (31/2 to 4 on high).

Combine biscuit mix, milk, parsley flakes; stir until just moistened. Drop dumpling mixture by spoonfuls (about 8) over steaming chicken; cover, cook on high 30 minutes. (Do not remove the cover during the steaming of the dumplings.)

Serve immediately - when dumplings are at their best.

Makes 4 servings (31/2 quart) or 8 servings (51/2 quart)
