Equipment

  • 1 Crockpot

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts can use thighs
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 10.5 ounces condensed cream of celery soup  1 can
  • 10.5 ounces condensed cream of chicken soup 1 can
  • 1 cup frozen peas & carrots
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 package of refrigerated biscuit dough

Instructions

  • Place your chicken breasts at the bottom of the crockpot. Sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, cream of celery soup, and chicken broth until smooth. Pour it over the chicken in the crockpot.
  • Toss in the diced onion, peas, and carrots. They’ll cook down and blend beautifully with the rest of the ingredients.
  • Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours. The chicken will be tender enough to shred with a fork.
  • About 30 minutes before you’re ready to eat, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the crockpot. It should fall apart easily
  • Tear the biscuit dough into bite-sized pieces and drop them into the crockpot. Stir gently so they’re nestled in the broth but not fully submerged.
  • Let the dumplings cook for about 30 minutes, until they’re puffed up and cooked through. You can test one with a toothpick to make sure the inside is done.
