Food post: Chicken and dumplings

I have been getting TONS of free books from amazon recently. One of the ones I found was a simple crock pot cook book...it had a recipe for easy chicken and dumplings...i've been sick for a few days so having this cook all day yesterday for dinner was great...

Of course I didn't quite follow the recipe exactly but it was still good...

i used just over a cup of sliced mushrooms - and i cut them a bit smaller...
2 stalks of celery chopped - and i don't like celery but it could have even used more...
an entire chopped up onion...
2 cans of condensed cream of chicken soup - and a half a can of milk would have been good too...
i didn't have the carrots to add and i think that would have made it even better...
the recipe calls for three pounds of chicken but i have no idea the actual weight of what i used...
and a can of refridgerator biscuits...

Throw it all in the crock pot except the biscuits...it says to shred the chicken after 7 hours but i just cut mine into small pieces before i put it in...let it cook on low for 7 hours or so...i think mine ended up being just over 8...cut the biscuits into quarters depending on the size...i ended up cutting mine in half and then into thirds...throw the biscuits in for the last hour and turn up to high...

yuuummmmmy!
