Chicken and Dumplings in the Crockpot

This is by far one of my favorite things to eat when it's cold out . And the leftovers are delish! I use my 5 qt crock pot.

Ingredients:
- 3 lbs boneless, skinless chicken (frozen is fine. I use breasts because it's always what we have.)
- 1 onion, chopped
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced or chopped (I get presliced)
- 16 oz frozen veggies (get the ones you'd get for veggie soup)

Cream Soup:
Combine these ingredients in a saucepan, and heat until thickened:
- 4 tbsp butter
- 6 tbsp flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
-1  tsp poultry seasoning

 Drop biscuits:
- 2 cups flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 3/4 cup milk
* mix with fork and drop into soup one hour before serving

Directions:

Spray crock with cooking spray. Put the chicken and veggies in the bottom of the crockpot. Cover with the cream soup.

Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or high for 4-5 hours.

An hour before serving, shred the chicken with two forks, and drop in biscuit dough. Cook on high one more hour. They Will be a bit spongy and will be a tad brown if they're sticking out of the soup. You'll be able to insert a knife and it'll come out clean.
