Crock Pot Chicken & Dumplings

I've been searching for a good crock pot recipe for chicken and dumplings, I finally found one that I think turned out really well.

Crock Pot Chicken & Dumplings
1 lb chicken (I use thighs)
Potatoes chopped
Carrots chopped
Celery chopped
1/2 onion chopped
1/2 tsp thyme
1 bay leaf
2 tsp garlic
4 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup flour
1/2 pkg frozen peas

Dumplings
2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp white sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp butter
1/2 cup milk

Add all veggies and meat to crock pot
In bowl combine chicken broth and 1/2 cup flour until dissolved, add spices
Pour into crock pot
Cook on low for 6-8 hours
Dumpling will take 20-30 minutes, when ready to eat turn crock pot to high add peas and dumplings. Let cook covered for 20-30 minutes.
