Chicken Stew with Herb Dumplings

I keep experimenting with Chicken and Dumpling recipes and this time I’m actually tweaking one of my own.  This time though, I didn’t want to do it on the stove and I wanted to make it a little less needy, so I’m not tweaking it too much.

When it comes to the slow cooker, I rarely measure out the veggies. Like today, I had a bunch of carrots and celery in the fridge, so I dumped all the celery in and half of the carrots. After dicing them of course. If you’re looking for a measurement, I generally do anywhere from 1/2 cup to 2 cups. This time around, I’m adding greed peppers to the mix, but not too much. I found diced onions and green peppers in the frozen veggie section at the store and I love using them. I can add a little or a lot – it doesn’t matter because I’m not having to waste the rest of the veggie. It’s awesome. I always keep a bag of both in the freeze now because it’s so easy to add that touch of onion/green pepper to any dish – meatloaf, chicken, soups, etc – it’s all good. So I did add a little diced green pepper, but just enough to give the stew some flavor and not becoming over powering. Maybe about 1/4 cup if that. The onions…my boys love them, so I rarely have to worry about how much I put in.

I ALWAYS measure the spices, so those are generally a good guideline. I’m still tweaking the amounts, so if you try this and find something that works better, I would love to know about it. I’m planning on shredding the chicken once it gets closer to dinner time, so cook it whole or dice it – it’s up to you.

That was the question I ask the doctor, he never answer his response was did you want to lost your husband? I immediately reply no I can’t afford to lose him. After the operation my husband came back to live and was healthy I was also OK with the instruction given to me by the doctor, after 3 months my husband came home with another lady telling me, that is our new wife that will give us kids and take care of us, that was how I was confused and started crying all day, that was how my husband ran away with his new wife cleanable. Since then I was confuse don’t know what to do that was how I went back to the doctor and tell him everything, he told me that, this is not just an ordinary it must be a spiritual problem that was how he gave me this Email: Ahmedutimate@gmail.com that I should tell he all my problem that he can help that was how i contacted he and I do as instructed.
