Health and fertility benefits of Mom's Chicken and Dumplings (Slow Cooker Version)

Broccoli is one of the non-starchy vegetables that has a very low glycemic index (GI), which is beneficial for reducing blood sugar levels. Broccoli is also a source of DIM (Diindolymethane). Diindolymethane is very effective in reducing the testosterone levels in the body, an action that would automatically curb male dominant features and regulate the estrogen levels in the system.

Ingredients

4 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth
3 (12.5 fl oz) cans chunk chicken (such as Kirkland®), drained and broken into chunks
4 baking potatoes, peeled and cubed
4 carrots, sliced
2 cups chopped broccoli
1 cup water
2 tablespoons quick-mixing flour (such as Wondra®)
salt and cracked black pepper to taste
2 1/4 cups all-purpose baking mix (such as Bisquick®)
2/3 cup milk

Instructions

Stir chicken broth, chicken, potatoes, carrots, and broccoli together in a slow cooker.
Whisk water and quick-mixing flour together in a bowl until a paste-like consistency is reached; stir into slow cooker mixture. Season with salt and pepper.
Cook on Low for 5 hours. Stir baking mix and milk together in a bowl. Drop milk mixture by the teaspoonful into the slow cooker on top of the chicken mixture. Continue cooking, turning the dumplings once, until dumplings are cooked through, about 1 hour more.
