These are absolutely delicious. They're two points apiece So I'm going to go ahead and have two of them for a four smart point snack for tonight's easy slow cooker or crock pot recipe We're going to be making chicken and dumplings I am so excited about this and how fun that it can just be thrown in a crock pot You come home from a busy day of worker school or home from the gym at night and your dinner is ready to go It is w w friendly and delicious. So I am excited about this So let me show you what is in our recipe and then we'll get it going in our crock pot First you're going to need some non-fat milk or milk alternative. You can use almond milk I just use this kroger card master milk It's the same points as almond milk and it's literally just milk instead of the almond base So I'm going to be using that minced garlic the recipe calls for whole wheat flour. So I'm just going to use whole grain oat flour It's what I have on hand Also, the recipe calls for frozen peas and frozen carrots So I just bought a blend to save myself some money and the peas and carrots are all rolled into one package So this is a little dupe for this recipe just by the peas and carrots blend already And then lots of seasonings. We have garlic powder onion powder Basil and thyme the recipe also calls for sage, but I don't have any so I'm going to be omitting that You'll also need some baking powder. I can't believe it's not butter light And the recipe calls for six cups of chicken broth. I'm just going to make mine with the better than bullion This is what I have on hand So I didn't want to buy chicken broth when I have this already in my refrigerator So I'm going to make my own and then you'll need an onion some stalks of celery And some chicken breasts. So let's get started on tonight's crock pot dinner So the first thing we need to do is chop our onion and our celery I'm just going to throw both of them here in a bowl because they are added to our recipe at the same time So let's get everything chopped up and ready to go Put it on our chicken and dumpling so in my crock pot here I actually have five chicken breasts. These are super thin cut and small So I made sure that I had basically the equivalent of about two big boneless skinless chicken breasts And then to that we're going to go ahead and add in six cups of chicken broth And again, I just made mine with better than bullion Since again, that's what I had on hand It made logical sense to just make my own chicken broth So that was four cups and then here is two additional cups Oh, we got some little leftover on the bottom. There we go two additional cups of the better than bullion To that we're going to go ahead and add in our peas and our carrots And we want about a half of a cup of each so I'm going to do about a cup of the pea and carrot mixture And then these leftovers you guys I just warm these up as a side dish with dinner That way we're not wasting any of it either And then we're going to go ahead and add in the chopped up onion and celery that we chopped up We want about three cloves of garlic So this is pretty close to three cloves And then I just like to kind of give that garlic a mix just because it comes out in a big clump Out of the jar. Oh my gosh, this looks really good. All right So we've added in that garlic and then last are our seasonings So the first one that I'm going to go ahead and add in is my time And you guys know, I just kind of wing the amount that I'm putting in here I'm going to do about two teaspoons of thyme And I just use my hand. It's easy to figure out about a teaspoon worth We're also going to be adding in some of our basil leaves And again, I'm going to do about two teaspoons of that as well And then again, I omitted the sage But we're going to add in some onion powder And I want about a half of a teaspoon of onion powder And then half of a teaspoon of garlic powder So we're going to add that in and then again, we're going to give this another stir You don't need to add any salt because your chicken broth or better than bouillon Is going to be all the salt that you need in this recipe So we're going to make sure those seasonings are nice and mixed together And our chicken breasts are under the chicken broth under all of the liquid And then we're actually going to put this onto low for six hours Once that time has passed, we'll come back and make the dumpling portion of our dinner So we're ready to put together the dumplings and I realized that we should have added The garlic powder and onion powder actually to the dumplings So you can go ahead and do that if you'd like, I added it to the actual soup itself So I'm not going to add any additional garlic and onion powder to the dumplings themselves But just be aware that you would want to add them to the dumplings, not the soup So what we're going to do is add one cup of our oat flour to a bowl And then we're also going to add one teaspoon of baking Powder and we're going to add three tablespoons of the I can't believe it's not butter Light and then we're basically going to mix this together Until the butter cuts through the flour and the baking soda And it basically makes a kind of chunky dough And this is what we're going to use to form the dumplings We're going to add a little bit of milk and we'll have a perfect dough Once you've cut the butter in we're going to go ahead and add in some skim milk And we want to add just enough to make this into dough that we can form the dumpling balls So I'm not measuring my milk because I'm not going to add any more than needed to create a dough And I don't want to over add in my milk. The recipe calls for about a third of a cup But I would recommend that you just add it like I did to your Dry ingredients until you have a dough. So this is about perfect consistency for the dumplings We're ready to pop the lid off of our crock pot here And we're going to actually pull out our chicken and shred it up. So this is what our soup is looking like Oh, you guys are going to get steamy. Sorry. There you go. So it looks absolutely delicious. Everything looks done really well So I have some tongs here and I'm just going to go ahead and reach in And pull out my breasts of chicken and I'm just going to put them here on a plate And I'm going to grab a couple of forks. Oh, look, it's just breaking apart Grab a couple of forks and shred up the breasts of chicken here And then we'll be returning it to the soup so that we can add in our dumplings But my chicken literally you guys is falling apart. How amazing is that? So pull out all your chicken and we're going to get it shredded up Once your chicken is completely shredded We're going to go ahead and return that to the slow cooker in with the soup And all of the delicious veggies and then we'll be ready to just drop in our dumplings Once you've re-added in your chicken, we're going to go ahead and drop in our dumplings So we want them at least the size of a tablespoon. You do not want to make them too small or they will just Melt right into the broth of the soup and we do not want that We actually want them to be Dumplings when it's all done. So we're going to go ahead and drop in our batter to make some dumplings Once you've added back in your dumplings, we're going to go ahead and put the lid back on our crock pot And we're going to let this cook for an additional 20 or 30 minutes or until our dumplings are cooked all the way through All right, so the chicken and dumplings are done. It was about 20 minutes The dumplings are nice and firm. So that's how you kind of know that they're cooked through So this entire crock pot you guys make six servings So i'm going to go ahead and dish up a serving. It's approximately a cup and a half And i'll be back to show you my dinner and give you the smart points So here is my dinner for tonight. You guys this smells amazing So this is one and a half cups of the chicken and dumplings It made two dumplings per serving So I do have a couple of dumplings on top here and I just taught mine with a little bit of parsley So here are the smart points breakdown for the chicken and dumplings one serving or one sixth of the batch is three smart points On both the blue and purple plan and five on the green plan So you can have chicken and dumplings for three or five smart points Here's what i'm going to be having for dessert tonight I'm going to be having one of the simple truth light ice cream bars. This is the peanut butter chocolate chip These are so good. I'll show you guys what they look like They are only three smart points per ice cream bar and they are absolutely Delicious.
