Chicken & Dumplings

5-6 boneless skinless chicken breasts (or breasts with the bone, your choice)
4 cups chicken broth
1 cup water
4 chicken bouillon cubes
1 carrot, chopped
1 rib of celery, chopped
1/2 cup chopped onion
8 fajita size flour tortillas
pepper

Combine all ingredients, except the tortillas, in a crock pot (or large pot on the stove.) Cook on low 8 hours. (If using chicken with the bone, remove the chicken from the pot and remove the meat from the bone.) Cut the chicken into bite sized pieces. Pour the broth from your crock pot into a large pot on the stove, and add the chicken. Add some pepper to taste. Bring to a slow boil, then take 8 tortillas and slice into pieces, about 1 1/2 inches, and add to the pot. Continue to boil stirring often, and for at least 20 minutes. If you want your chicken & dumplings thicker, add a little flour to the broth. If you want more juice, add more water or chicken broth until you get your desired consistency.
