Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1.75 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1.5 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 11 oz condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 0.75 cup diced onion
  • 0.75 cup sliced celery
  • 0.75 cup diced carrots
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 0.75 tsp kosher salt
  • 0.5 tsp ground black pepper
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Dumplings

  • 12 oz refrigerated biscuit dough cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour for dusting the dough

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Whisk the chicken broth and condensed soup in the slow cooker until smooth.
  • Stir in onion, celery, carrots, garlic, thyme, salt, pepper, and butter.
  • Nestle the chicken into the mixture, turning to coat. Cover and cook on Low for 5 to 6 hours until tender.
  • Shred the chicken in the cooker with two forks. Stir in the peas.
  • Toss biscuit pieces with flour to lightly coat, then scatter them over the top.
  • Switch to High, cover, and cook 60 to 90 minutes until dumplings are puffed and cooked through.
  • Rest 5 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley and serve warm.

Notes

Variation: Add a splash of heavy cream at the end for extra richness, or swap peas for sweet corn. For easy storage, cool completely and refrigerate up to 3 days; reheat gently with a little broth if thickened.
