Ingredients:

  • ½ Onion, chopped
  • ½ Cup Celery, chopped
  • 2 Tbsp. Butter, cut into pieces
  • 1 tsp. Seasoned salt
  • 1 tsp. Poultry seasoning
  • 2 tsp. Minced garlic
  • 2 Cups Chicken broth
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the dumplings:

  • 1 ½ Cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 2 oz. Cream cheese
  • 1 Cup Almond flour
  • ½ tsp Baking powder
  • 1 Large egg
  • ¼ tsp Garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp Italian seasoning
  • ¼ tsp Xanthan gum
  • Pinch of salt

Detailed Instructions:

  1. Begin by placing the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the crockpot. Sprinkle them with salt, pepper, seasoned salt, and poultry seasoning for a flavorful foundation.
  2. Add chopped onion, celery, minced garlic, and butter pieces to the crockpot, creating a harmonious blend of aromatic ingredients.
  3. Pour chicken broth over the mixture, ensuring the perfect balance of moisture and flavor. Allow the ingredients to meld together on high heat for 3 hours, infusing the chicken with savory goodness.
  4. While the chicken cooks, prepare the dumplings. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine cream cheese and mozzarella cheese, heating them in 30-second intervals until fully melted and well combined.
  5. Transfer the melted cheese mixture to a mixing bowl and add almond flour, baking powder, a large egg, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, xanthan gum, and a pinch of salt. Blend until a smooth, pliable dough forms.
  6. With slightly wet hands, shape the dough into small dumplings, ready to be introduced to the crockpot.
  7. After the initial 3 hours, gently place the dumplings into the crockpot, allowing them to cook on high for an additional hour. This step ensures that the dumplings absorb the savory essence of the chicken broth, creating a symphony of flavors.
