Recipe View Slow Cook Dumplings: Close the lid (vent open) and select the Slow Cooker function on Low. Simmer until a skewer inserted into a dumpling comes out clean, approximately 10-12 minutes.

For extra richness, consider browning the chicken thighs in the Instant Pot before adding the broth.
Fresh herbs can be substituted for dried, using about 1 tablespoon of fresh herbs for every teaspoon of dried.
Adjust the amount of buttermilk in the dumplings as needed to achieve a soft, slightly sticky dough.
If you don't have buttermilk, you can use regular milk with 1/2 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar added.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The dumplings may soften upon reheating.
