SAVORY SATURDAY - Slowcooker Chicken & Dumplings

Welcome to my first SAVORY SATURDAY post.  As mentioned in a previous post, I make a five meal plan and order all my groceries through Pea Pod.  It saves me time, since my DH work different shifts and I home alone with Anthony and Balboa.    I cook at night and freeze the meals into smaller one person dinners.

It has been working out great.  So, I decided to post about my my favorite meal each Saturday and where I found the recipe.

Any other suggestions or ideas?

SO HERE IS THE MEAL.......



















I got this recipe Slow Cooker Chicken and Dumplings from http://www.allrecipes.com/

Ingredients:
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons butter
2 (10.75 ounce) cans condensed cream of chicken soup
1 onion, finely diced
2 (10 ounce) packages refrigerated biscuit dough, torn into pieces

Directions:
Place the chicken, butter, soup, and onion in a slow cooker, and fill with enough water to cover.

Cover, and cook for 5 to 6 hours on High.

About 30 minutes before serving, place the torn biscuit dough in the slow cooker. Cook until the dough is no longer raw in the center.

Meal preparation: ………………...... 5 stars It was easy to prepare, very little to do, just plop in the chicken, soup, and onions.  I used frozen chopped onions and added garlic powder. 


Baking/Cooking: …………………... 4 stars I just set the slow cooker and walked away.  I only opened it up to add the biscut dough.


Versatility: ………………………..... 4 stars Can easily be doubled or tripled.  If you like you can add veggies.


Amount of time to make meal:…….... 5 stars No time at all to make meal.  One of the quickest meals I made. Even easy to clean up. 


Total price of meal:……………….... 5 stars A money saving meal.  4 pieces of skinless boneless chicken breast was Chicken was $6.56, campbells condensed cream of chicken soup was $1.00 a can x2, 12oz bag of frozen chopped onions was a $1.00, we already had butter, the 8ct of biscuits was $2.29 x2.  All together the meal was $11.60.  We got 4 dinners out of the meal, so that is $2.80 a meal! And that was without any coupons.
