A comforting and flavorful chicken dish with tender dumplings, perfect for a cozy dinner.
Prepare the slow cooker by lightly greasing it.
Greasing the slow cooker prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker.
Arrange the chicken in a single layer for even cooking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the water, lemon juice, paprika, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Pour this mixture over the chicken.
Mixing the ingredients beforehand ensures even distribution of flavors.
Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
Cooking on low allows the flavors to meld and the chicken to become tender.
One hour before serving, prepare the dumpling dough by mixing the flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the chives and milk until just combined.
Avoid overmixing the dough to keep the dumplings light and fluffy.
Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling dough onto the hot chicken and broth in the slow cooker.
Space the dumplings evenly to allow them to cook properly.
Cover and cook on high for 45-60 minutes until the dumplings are cooked through.
Check the dumplings for doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean.
Serve the chicken and dumplings hot, garnished with additional fresh chives if desired.
Serving immediately ensures the dumplings retain their texture.
