Method
 

Step-By-Step Instructions
  1. Place the boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs at the bottom of your slow cooker.
  2. Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth followed by the cream of chicken soup, and mix in the optional cream of celery soup if desired.
  3. Scatter the diced onions, sliced carrots, and minced garlic over the broth mixture without stirring again. Sprinkle in the dried thyme, salt, black pepper, and optional poultry seasoning on top.
  4. Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
  5. Once the cooking time is complete, carefully remove the lid and use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the cooker.
  6. Cut the refrigerated biscuit dough into 1-inch pieces, then distribute them evenly over the surface of the chicken and broth mixture.
  7. Cover the slow cooker again and switch it to high, allowing the dumplings to cook for another hour.
  8. About 10 minutes before serving, stir in the frozen peas gently.
  9. Garnish your cozy Crockpot Chicken and Dumplings with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
