1-Hour Freezer Cooking: Chicken and Dumplings!

Freezer Cooking: Couponed Crockpot Chicken and Dumplings!
Serves 8
Good morning, savvy savers! I hope this weekend will be a good, productive, yet time for you all! Today finds us with yet another one of my weekly freezer cooking recipes, this time my Couponed Crockpot Chicken and Dumplings! I use chicken from Zaycon, or on sale mid-month at Winn-Dixie, and my other ingredients from the Dollar Tree, and am able to make recipe for under $5.00, which feeds 8; this recipe creates two freezable meals to feed 4.

Ingredients
  1. 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves; cut into bite size chunks.
  2. 2 tablespoons butter
  3. 2 (10.75 ounce) cans condensed cream of chicken soup
  4. 1 onion, finely diced (or use blacnhed or bagged frozen onions)
  5. 2 Cups Flour
  6. 1 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  7. 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
  8. 2 Tablespoons Vegetable oil
  9. 1 Cup Luke Warm Water
  10. 1 Teaspoon dried parsley
  11. salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. Take 2 gallon size Ziploc bags and mark the contents of your bag.
  2. Divide chicken, condescend soup, onions, and salt and pepper up, between 2 gallon size Ziploc bags.
  3. Once ingredients are in bags, seal bags, making sure the majority of the inner air is released from the bag.
  4. Freeze bags horizontally and flat, while freezing, 4-6 hours.
  5. Once bags are frozen, they can be turned vertically to create more freezer storage.
  6. Bags last up to one year in freezer.
Variation: You can prepare and freeze your dumplings ahead of time, in a smaller pint size baggie, separated, frozen, and then place the smaller baggie inside your larger baggie, too. If you wish to make and freeze dumplings
  1. Start by sifting flour and baking soda in a separate bowl, and then add your oil, water, and parsley, until a dough forms. Let the dough rest on your counter top for 10 minutes. Then divide dumplings, using knife, to make 1 inch squares.
  2. Freeze squares in smaller baggies.
When ready to cook
  1. 1) In a Crockpot, add the chicken halves, cut into chunks.
  2. 2) Next, add your onions and soup to the Crockpot.
  3. 3) Cook the mixture on high for 6 hours.
  4. 4) On the 5th hour, add your dumpling packs, or if preferred, start to make your dumplings. Start by sifting flour and baking soda in a separate bowl, and then add your oil, water, and parsley, until a dough forms. Let the dough rest on your counter top for 10 minutes.
  5. 5) 30 minutes before completion, break your dough into small pieces, and add to the Crock Pot. Cook additional 30 minutes.
  6. 6) Enjoy!
