Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs (or breasts)
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup carrots diced
  • 1 cup celery diced
  • 1 onion diced
  • 1 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 can 10.5 oz cream of chicken soup
  • 1 can refrigerated biscuits or homemade dough

Instructions
 

  • Prepare Your Chicken: Start by placing the boneless chicken thighs into the crockpot. Don't worry about chopping them; they’ll fall apart beautifully as they cook.
  • Add Your Vegetables: Layer in the diced carrots, celery, and onion on top of the chicken. These veggies add a lovely texture and sweetness to the dish.
  • Season: Add the garlic powder, dried thyme, salt, and pepper over the top. This is where the flavor begins to build!
  • Mix in the Broth and Soup: Pour in the chicken broth and stir in the cream of chicken soup. This is going to create a creamy, dreamy base.
  • Slow Cook: Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4 hours. The chicken should be tender and cooked thoroughly.
  • Dumpling Time: About 30 minutes before serving, tear the refrigerated biscuits into quarters. Stir them into the chicken mixture, making sure they’re all coated with that delicious sauce.
  • Finishing Touch: Cover once more and let the dumplings cook for 30 minutes until they are fluffy and cooked through.
  • Serve & Enjoy: Once done, dish up a generous serving and make sure to drizzle a bit of the creamy broth over the top. Enjoy your comforting creation!
