Preparation

  • Add the cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, carrots, celery, onion, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper on top of the chicken.

Cooking

  • Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours until the chicken is cooked through.
  • About 30 minutes before serving, remove the chicken, shred it, and return it to the crockpot.
  • Open the biscuit dough and cut each biscuit into quarters. Drop the biscuit pieces into the crockpot, stirring gently to combine.
  • Cover and cook on high for an additional 30 minutes until the dumplings are cooked through.
  • Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm it in the microwave or on the stove until hot. Make sure to cut the veggies evenly so they cook at the same rate. You can use frozen vegetables if you prefer, just add them in the last hour of cooking. You can use cooked rotisserie chicken instead of raw chicken breasts to save time.
