Slow Cooker Chicken & Herb Dumplings

                            
 
When I was a kid and well into my first couple of years in high school, I used to go to my Grandmother's and spend the weekend with her.  She would call me and ask me what I wanted to eat for the weekend and I would always tell her, "Chicken and Dumplings, cheeseburger pie, and cinnamon cresent rolls."  Of course, she had her own recipes for these.  I never learned to make the cheeseburger pie from her, but I did learn how to make the chicken and dumplings which was quite simple.  All we did was boil the chicken and follow the directions on the Bisquick box.  We never did anything fancy b/c we liked it just the way it was!
