Ingredients

  • 6 bone-in chicken breast halves (10 ounces each), skin removed
  • 2 whole cloves
  • 1/2 cup frozen pearl onions, thawed
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup white wine or additional chicken broth
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup cold water
  • 1/2 teaspoon browning sauce, optional
  • 1 cup reduced-fat biscuit/baking mix
  • 6 tablespoons fat-free milk
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley

Directions

  • Place the chicken in a 5-qt. slow cooker. Insert cloves into one onion; add to slow cooker. Add bay leaf and remaining onions. Sprinkle mixture with the garlic, salt, thyme, marjoram and pepper. Add broth. Cover and cook on low for 4-1/2 to 5 hours or until meat is tender.
  • Remove chicken to a serving platter and keep warm. Discard cloves and bay leaf. In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch, water and browning sauce if desired until smooth. Stir into slow cooker. Cover and cook on high until mixture reaches a simmer.
  • Meanwhile, combine the biscuit mix, milk and parsley. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto simmering liquid. Reduce heat to low; cover and cook for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into dumplings comes out clean (do not lift cover while simmering). Serve with chicken and sauce. Yield: 6 servings.
