Instructions:
- Prepare the chicken:
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your CrockPot. - Add the vegetables and seasonings:
Add the chopped onion, garlic, thyme, parsley, and black pepper. Pour in the chicken broth and the cream of chicken soup, mixing everything well to combine. - Cook:
Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender. - Shred the chicken:
Once the chicken is done, use two forks to shred it into bite-sized pieces directly in the CrockPot. - Add the frozen peas and carrots:
(Optional) Stir in the peas and carrots if you’d like to add some vegetables. - Prepare the dumplings:
Tear the biscuit dough into small pieces (about 1 inch) and place them on top of the chicken mixture. Make sure the dumplings are evenly spaced and don’t overcrowd the CrockPot. - Cook the dumplings:
Cover and cook on high for another 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until the dumplings are cooked through and fluffy. Check occasionally to ensure the dumplings are not sticking together. - Serve:
Once the dumplings are ready, give everything a gentle stir and serve the Chicken and Dumplings hot.
Tips:
- You can add other vegetables like celery or potatoes for extra heartiness.
- For a richer flavor, you can substitute part of the chicken broth with cream or milk.
