Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 1/4 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 (10.5-oz) cans cream of chicken soup
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 4 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped
  • 2 large carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 1 cup frozen peas, thawed
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (16.3-oz) can refrigerated biscuits

Instructions

  • Scatter the chopped onion in the bottom of a large slow cooker, then place the chicken breasts on top. Season with oregano, salt, and pepper.
  • Pour the cream of chicken soup and chicken broth over the chicken. Add the thyme sprigs and bay leaf. Cover and cook on High for about 3 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Discard the thyme and bay leaf. Shred the chicken using two forks.
  • Stir in the chopped celery, carrots, peas, and garlic.
  • Cut or tear the refrigerated biscuits into small bite-sized pieces, then stir them into the chicken mixture. Spoon the liquid over any biscuits on top.
  • Cook on High for an additional 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the vegetables are tender and the biscuits are cooked through, stirring every 30 minutes.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, you can add a tablespoon of butter when adding the vegetables.
  • If you prefer thicker dumplings, reduce the amount of broth or add more biscuit pieces.
  • You can use frozen chicken breasts instead of fresh if needed, just adjust the cook time accordingly.
