Ingredients

  • Vegetables (from image):
    • ​1 yellow onion, chopped
    • ​1 ½ cups carrots, chopped
    • ​1 ½ cups celery, chopped
  • The Base:
    • ​1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs.
    • ​2 cups chicken broth.
    • ​1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup.
    • ​1 cup frozen peas (added at the end).
  • Seasonings:
    • ​1 tsp dried thyme.
    • ​Salt and black pepper to taste.
    • ​Fresh parsley for garnish.
  • The Topping:
    • ​1 tube of refrigerated “flaky” biscuits (baked separately according to package instructions).

​Instructions

  1. Combine: Place the chopped onion, carrots, and celery into the slow cooker. Add the raw chicken breasts on top.
  2. Season & Pour: Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and thyme. Pour the chicken broth and the cream of chicken soup over everything.
  3. Slow Cook: Cover and cook on Low for 6–7 hours or on High for 3–4 hours until the chicken is tender and the vegetables are soft.
  4. Shred: Remove the chicken, shred it with two forks, and stir it back into the pot.
  5. Final Touch: Stir in the frozen peas and let them sit in the hot mixture for about 5–10 minutes until heated through.
  6. Serve: Bake the biscuits in the oven until golden brown. Ladle the chicken mixture into bowls and place a warm biscuit on top of each serving.

Quick Tip: If you find the sauce too thin, you can whisk 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water and stir it into the slow cooker 30 minutes before serving to thicken it up!
