Crockpot Chicken and Dumplings for the busy mom

I've adapted this recipe from a similar recipe on Allrecipes.com. Nearly everyone in my house seems to like it, which is a great accomplishment with younger children! :)

Crockpot Chicken and Dumplings
2 cans of cream of chicken soup
1 onion diced
2 carrots peeled and sliced
1 stalk of celery washed and sliced
2 potatoes peeled and diced into big chunks
4 chicken breasts (I usually use frozen)
1 1/2 cups of chicken broth
a few good shakes of Pepper
~ 1 tsp Thyme

Dumplings
Bisquick
Water as directed on the box
(as an alternative you can use refrigerated biscuit dough instead)

Combine the above in your crockpot. Cook on high for 4-5 hours or on low for 6-8 hours (use the longer cooking time if you are using frozen breasts or if your slow cooker is slower than average.  About an hour before the end of cooking time, mix up your Bisquick by following the directions for dumplings on the box.  Drop by tablespoon-fulls into your crockpot mixture and let cook for an additional hour to hour and a half.   Add additional salt / pepper as needed.
