Ingredients

• For the Chicken and Broth:
• 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs
• 1 onion finely chopped
• 2 carrots peeled and chopped
• 2 celery stalks chopped
• 3 cloves garlic minced
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1/2 teaspoon dried sage
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 1 can 10.5 oz condensed cream of chicken soup
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley optional, for garnish
• For the Dumplings:
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons butter melted

Instructions

• Prepare the Chicken and Vegetables:
• Place the chicken breasts or thighs in the bottom of the crockpot.
• Add the chopped onion, carrots, celery, and minced garlic.
• Sprinkle the thyme, rosemary, sage, salt, and pepper over the chicken and vegetables.
• Add the Broth and Soup:
• Pour the chicken broth over the chicken and vegetables.
• Add the condensed cream of chicken soup and stir to combine.
• Cook:

• Shred the Chicken:
• About 30 minutes before serving, remove the chicken from the crockpot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the crockpot.
• Add the Peas:
• Stir in the frozen peas.
• Make the Dumplings:
