- 1.5 to 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup carrots, sliced
- 1 cup celery, sliced
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 cup frozen corn
- 1 small onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional)
For the Creamy Sauce
- 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for thickening)
For Topping
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (for brushing biscuits, optional)
Instructions
- Prepare and Layer Ingredients – In your crock pot, layer the chicken breasts on the bottom. Add in carrots, celery, onion, garlic, peas, and corn. Sprinkle all the seasonings (thyme, parsley, salt, pepper, and paprika) over the top. Pour in the chicken broth.
- Cook Chicken and Vegetables – Cover and cook on LOW for 6-7 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender.
- Shred the Chicken – Remove the chicken breasts and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the crock pot and stir to combine with the vegetables and broth.
- Make the Creamy Sauce – In a bowl, whisk together the condensed cream of chicken soup, milk, and flour until smooth. Pour this mixture into the crock pot and stir well. Cover and cook on HIGH for an extra 30-45 minutes, until the sauce thickens.
- Bake the Biscuits – Preheat your oven and bake the biscuits according to package instructions. For extra flavor, brush with melted butter after baking.
- Serve – To serve, ladle the creamy chicken and vegetable mixture into bowls and top with a warm biscuit. Enjoy immediately!
Notes
- For even more flavor, use a mix of fresh and frozen vegetables as you like.
- To make it gluten-free, use gluten-free cream of chicken soup and flour, and swap the biscuits for a gluten-free version.
- You can use leftover cooked chicken or turkey; simply add it during the last hour of cooking.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Bake the biscuits fresh right before serving for the best texture.
