Add 1 pound of boneless skinless chicken breast to the crock pot.

Dice carrots, celery, and onions and add them to the crock pot.

Pour in chicken broth and add salt and pepper.

Cover and cook on high for 2 to 3 hours or low for 5 to 6 hours.

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the crock pot.

Cut the chicken into 1 to 2 inch strips against the grain.

If using a stand mixer, place the chicken in the bowl with the paddle attachment and mix on slow to shred.

If not using a stand mixer, use forks or hands to shred the chicken.

Add the shredded chicken back into the crock pot.

In a large mixing bowl, add flour, baking powder, and salt, and whisk to combine.

Stir in whole milk until a dough starts to form.

Transfer the dough to a floured work surface and knead a few times.

Tear off tablespoon-sized chunks of dough, roll into balls, and add to the slow cooker.

Cover and cook for 1 to 1.5 hours until dumplings are puffed up and cooked through.
