Ingredients
  

2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup diced carrots

1 cup diced celery

1 cup diced onion

3 cloves garlic, minced

4 cups low-sodium chicken broth

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried rosemary

1 teaspoon dried parsley

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup frozen peas

1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup

2 cups biscuit dough (store-bought or homemade)

Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts at the bottom of the crock pot. Season them generously with salt, pepper, thyme, rosemary, and parsley.

    Add Vegetables: Layer the diced carrots, celery, onions, and minced garlic over the chicken.

      Pour the Broth: Carefully pour in the chicken broth, ensuring the chicken and vegetables are fully submerged.

        Add Cream of Chicken: Stir in the can of cream of chicken soup until well mixed, allowing it to combine with the broth and seasonings.

          Cook: Set the crock pot to low and cook for 6-8 hours, or on high for 4-5 hours, until the chicken is tender and easily shredded.

            Shred the Chicken: About 30 minutes before serving, open the lid and shred the chicken directly in the crock pot using two forks. Stir in the frozen peas.

              Prepare the Dumplings: If using store-bought biscuit dough, tear or cut the dough into small pieces (about the size of a tablespoon). If making homemade dough, prepare it according to your recipe.

                Add Dumplings: Carefully drop pieces of the biscuit dough over the chicken mixture in the crock pot. Cover and cook on high for an additional 1 hour, or until the dumplings are puffed and cooked through.

                  Serve: Once the dumplings are ready, check for seasoning and adjust with more salt and pepper if desired. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
