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-
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.

*Here is the GF cream of chicken soup and the GF Chicken Broth ** (affiliate links) that I used for this recipe. Or you can make your own! Yum! And this is the homemade gluten-free Bisquick mix***.
I could go for this soup right now, I feel a cold coming on, saving this one for later 🙂
Can I come over for dinner please ? I’m breaking my vegetarian ways for this one.
Haha! You are welcomed in my house whenever you want! Come on over! 🙂
Jess, this soup looks absolutely mouth watering! OMG I am just dying over how creamy it is!
I like my chicken and dumplings more on the creamier side than the broth-y side 🙂
