Step 1: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic and cook until soft and fragrant.
Step 2: Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until browned on all sides. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 3: In a slow cooker, combine the chicken broth, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Add the cooked chicken to the slow cooker.
Step 4: Cover and cook the chicken and broth mixture on low for 6-8 hours.
Step 5: While the chicken is cooking, prepare the dumplings. Take a wonton wrapper and place a spoonful of ground pork in the center. Fold the wrapper over the filling to form a triangle.
Step 6: Bring a pot of water to boil. Add the dumplings to the water and cook for 3-5 minutes until they float to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon and serve immediately.
Step 7: To serve, ladle the chicken broth into bowls and place a few dumplings on top of each bowl.
Tips:
- For added flavor, you can add shredded carrots or peas to the chicken broth.
- You can also use store-bought broth instead of making your own.
- If you don't have ground pork, you can substitute with ground beef or even sausage.
Enjoy your delicious slow cooker chicken and dumplings!
