How To Make Pioneer Woman Slow Cooker Chicken And Dumplings

1. Prepare the Dumplings: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, parsley, cornmeal, chives, baking powder, and salt. Add milk and melted butter, stirring until just combined. Set aside.
2. Cook the Vegetables: In a skillet over medium heat, warm olive oil and butter. Add carrots, celery, onion, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook until vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Mix in flour, thyme, and turmeric until vegetables are coated.
3. Prepare the Chicken: To the vegetables, add chicken pieces, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and additional pepper. Stir to coat the chicken well.
4. Slow Cook: Transfer the vegetable and chicken mixture to a slow cooker. Pour in chicken broth. Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling batter on top of the chicken mixture. Cover and cook on high for 3 hours or on low for 6 hours until the chicken is cooked through and the dumplings are puffed and set.
5. Serve: Once cooked, gently stir to combine. Serve the chicken and dumplings hot, ensuring each bowl gets an even distribution of chicken, vegetables, and dumplings.
