Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups Carrots, diced
- 1 cup Celery, diced
- 1 cup Frozen peas
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 4 cups Chicken broth
- 1 can Cream of chicken soup
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 tube Refrigerated biscuit dough
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker.
Add the diced carrots, celery, peas, onion, and minced garlic on top of the chicken.
Pour the chicken broth and cream of chicken soup over the ingredients in the slow cooker.
Sprinkle in the salt, black pepper, and dried thyme. Stir gently to combine, leaving the chicken breasts intact.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 6 hours or until the chicken is tender and easily shredded.
Approximately 30 minutes before serving, carefully remove the chicken breasts from the slow cooker and shred them with two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir.
Cut the refrigerated biscuit dough into small pieces (about 1-inch in size) and drop them into the slow cooker on top of the mixture.
Cover the slow cooker and continue cooking on high heat for an additional 30 minutes, or until the biscuit pieces are cooked through and fluffy.
Give the mixture a gentle stir to combine the dumplings with the chicken and vegetables.
Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
