How to make this comforting meal

1. Add onion, chicken breasts, salt, pepper, garlic powder, Italian seasonings, chicken broth, and cream of chicken soup to the crockpot.
2. Cook chicken mixture on HIGH for 4 hours. Once cooked, remove the lid carefully.
3. Using a fork, shred chicken by moving your fork around in a circular motion.
4. Add frozen peas and carrots and stir. Chop biscuits up and layer across the top of the chicken. Cook on HIGH for another 2 hours. Serve warm and enjoy!

Tips for the Best Results

• Shred the chicken carefully: Use a couple of forks to shred the tender chicken into smaller pieces, making sure to give the whole thing a good stir after shredding.
• Watch the biscuits: For flaky biscuit dumplings, avoid overcooking the biscuits on top. Start checking around the 1.5-hour mark.
• Thicken the broth: If you’d like a thicker broth, add a cornstarch slurry (mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with a cup of water) to the crockpot during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
• Use refrigerated biscuit dough: Pillsbury Grands biscuits work wonderfully, but other store-bought biscuit dough also delivers fluffy dumplings.
• Crockpots vary: All crockpots/slower cookers do not heat the same. Cooking time may vary depending on the size of the pot. If at the 4-hour mark you need to add more liquid, do so, to avoid burning later.
• Use rotisserie chicken: You can also make this with rotisserie chicken and save time. It’s one of my favorite slow cooker recipes to use it in.
• Keep leftovers: Store leftovers in an airtight container.

Substitutions and Variations:

• Chicken substitutions: Use rotisserie chicken or even boneless chicken thighs for a slightly different flavor.
• Broth options: Swap chicken broth with chicken stock for a deeper, more savory broth. If you’re out of cream of chicken soup, try cream of mushroom soup or cream of celery soup.
• Add more flavor: For a richer taste, sprinkle a bit of poultry seasoning or bay leaf when adding the broth to the crockpot.
• Vegetable swaps: Frozen veggies like mixed green beans or even corn can be added for more variety.
