answer:I consider Reame’s Noodles to be ‘dumplings’, so I would use them. They also make a dumpling. I’ve not done this so I’m defying the “personally tried” detail, but they sound good. I looked at several recipes using ‘crockpot’, ‘chicken and noodles’, and ‘Reame’s’. Crockpot Chicken & Noodles The only difference I saw was an admonition to stir once in a while after you add the noodles. You might have to add a little liquid when you stir.
