Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 10.5-ounce cans cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup diced yellow onion
- 1 cup diced carrots
- 1 cup diced celery
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 16 ounces store-bought canned biscuit dough
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of the crock pot.
Pour the chicken broth and cream of chicken soup over the chicken.
Add the diced onion, carrots, celery, garlic powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to the crock pot. Stir gently to combine.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low heat for 6 hours or on high heat for 3 hours.
After the chicken has cooked, use two forks to shred it directly in the crock pot. Stir everything together to incorporate the shredded chicken.
Open the canned biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Cut each biscuit into four quarters to create small dumpling pieces.
Drop the biscuit pieces into the crock pot, spreading them out evenly over the top of the chicken and broth mixture.
Press the biscuit pieces gently into the liquid so they soak up some of the broth, but do not submerge them completely.
Cover the crock pot again and cook on high heat for an additional 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the biscuits are fully cooked and fluffy.
Once done, stir the mixture gently to combine the dumplings with the rest of the dish.
Serve warm, garnished with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
