Spicy Gluten-Free Slow Cooker Chicken And Dumplings

This spicy gluten-free slow cooker chicken and dumplings recipe is so easy to put together, you need just 5 minutes, and let simmer all day.  The spicy taste {easily adjusted to your spice level!} pairs well with the sweet doughy gluten-free dumplings and tender bites of chicken and vegetables.  Perfect for a busy fall weeknight that the whole family will love, just serve and enjoy!

Who doesn’t love a good crockpot recipe? Yeah I don’t know anyone either. Who doesn’t love a crockpot recipe that smells up your house with dinnertime smells the second your nose gets inside that front door after a long day at work? Well, this isn’t that recipe.

It isn’t this recipe because I tried making it just the other day. I absolutely LOVE this recipe, so I was so incredibly excited to head home after a long day at work and walk to a wonderful-smelling kitchen.

I did the small amount of prep work needed before work, and wanted to walk in to magic happening after work.

I walked into my house and didn’t smell a damn thing.  What the?  I went right up to my crockpot and the damn thing wasn’t on.  Like I said before, this recipe is not a cook-all-day-and-ready-for-you-at-home recipe… if ya don’t turn the slow cooker on!  Doh!

I was so determined to have my spicy gluten-free chicken and dumplings that I started all over {turning the crockpot on high this time} and my poor Hubby and I had dinner at 10pm…. But it was so satisfying!  We actually ate all four servings!  I was so proud of myself for remembering to turn the slow cooker on the second time around, that I went right to bed because…. well, 10pm is also my bedtime.

Instructions

1. Place a crock pot liner on your crockpot. Place the chicken, carrot, cream of chicken, chicken broth, cayenne, black pepper, and paprika in the crockpot and cook on high for 5-6 hours or low for 8-9 hours.
2. During the last 30 minutes of cooking, make the dumpling dough by combining the homemade GF "Bisquick mIx", buttermilk, egg, and butter together in a large bowl. Form the dough into egg-sized balls and lightly drop each dumpling into the crockpot with the chicken. Cover and cook the last 30 minutes.
3. Serve warm and messy!
