Ingredients

For the Soup:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 can (14 oz) chicken broth

2 cans (10.5 oz each) cream of chicken soup

1/2 onion, diced

2 cups sliced carrots

1 cup sliced celery

1/2 can peas (drained)

For the Dumplings:

1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (or homemade dumpling dough, if preferred)

Seasoning:

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Prepare the Base:

Place the chicken breasts in the crockpot.

Add the chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, diced onion, carrots, celery, and seasonings (garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper). Stir gently to combine.

Cook the Chicken:

Cover and cook on low for 6–8 hours or on high for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.

Shred the Chicken:

Remove the chicken breasts from the crockpot, shred them using two forks, and return the shredded chicken to the crockpot.

Add the Dumplings:

Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough. Cut each biscuit into quarters and drop them into the crockpot, spreading them evenly over the soup mixture.

Press the dumplings down slightly to ensure they’re coated in the liquid.

Cook the Dumplings:

Cover the crockpot and cook on high for 1–2 hours, or until the dumplings are puffed up and fully cooked.

Add Peas (Optional):

During the last 15–20 minutes of cooking, stir in the drained peas to heat them through.

Serve:

Ladle the chicken, vegetables, and dumplings into bowls. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
