Story

Crock pot meals don't have to be utilitarian... they can be festive, suitable for a celebration. This is one of the recipes I like using for special occasions or "company's coming" meals. Dumplings are always a treat, especially when they're so easy! The wine in this chicken and dumpling dish sort of dresses it up a bit, and the cream used to thicken the dish gives it a very velvety finish. Well worth the time!
