Ingredients Needed:

• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 3 stalks celery, thinly sliced
• 2 medium carrots, thinly sliced
• 1 large yellow onion, sliced
• 10.5-oz cans cream of chicken soup
• 10.5-oz cans cream of mushroom soup
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 1/2 lbs. boneless skinless chicken thighs
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 6-oz can buttermilk biscuits
• 4 oz white cheddar cheese
• 2 Tbsp. minced fresh chives
• Chopped parsley, for serving

How To Cook Chicken And Dumplings Crock Pot:

1. Prepare the Base: Sprinkle the minced garlic, sliced celery, carrots, and onion into the bottom of a 6- to 8-quart (5.7- to 7.6-litre) slow cooker.
2. Mix the Soups and Broth: Add the cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, and chicken broth to the slow cooker. Whisk together until well combined.
3. Cook the Chicken: Place the boneless chicken thighs in the slow cooker, cover, and cook on high for 2 hours.
4. Shred the Chicken: After 2 hours, remove the chicken from the slow cooker and place it on a cutting board. When cool enough to handle, shred the chicken with a fork. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and add the frozen peas.
5. Prepare the Dumplings: On a clean surface, lay out the buttermilk biscuits. Sprinkle the cheddar cheese and minced chives over the biscuits, lightly pressing them in to adhere. Cut each biscuit into fourths.
6. Cook the Dumplings: Place the biscuit pieces on the surface of the soup. Cover and cook until the biscuits are cooked through, about 20 to 30 minutes.
7. Serve: Ladle the chicken and dumplings into bowls and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Recipe Tips

• Use Fresh Ingredients: Always choose fresh vegetables and herbs for the best flavor. Fresh chives and parsley can really brighten up the dish.
• Don’t Overcook the Chicken: Cook the chicken just until it’s tender and easy to shred. Overcooking can make it dry and tough.
• Cut Biscuits Evenly: When cutting the biscuits, make sure the pieces are the same size. This ensures they cook evenly and become fluffy.
• Adjust Seasoning: Taste the broth before adding the dumplings. You may want to add a bit of salt or pepper to enhance the flavor.
• Serve Immediately: For the best texture, serve the chicken and dumplings right after cooking. The dumplings are fluffiest when fresh!

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers

• Freeze: Put leftover Chicken and Dumplings in a freezer-safe container. They can be frozen for up to 3 months. To eat, thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating on the stove or in the microwave.
