Description

A comforting and hearty dish made with tender chicken, creamy soups, and fluffy biscuits, perfect for busy days.


Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 large yellow onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • Pepper, to taste
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 (10 oz.) can cream of celery soup
  • 1 (10 oz.) can cream of chicken soup
  • 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
  • 2 cups water or low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 cups frozen peas and carrots, thawed
  • 1 (16 oz.) can refrigerated homestyle buttermilk biscuits, about 8 biscuits
  • Chives or parsley, to garnish (optional)


Instructions

  1. Whisk together the cream of celery soup, cream of chicken soup, and poultry seasoning with some water or chicken broth.
  2. Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of the slow cooker.
  3. Layer the diced onion, minced garlic, butter, thyme, pepper, and bay leaf over the chicken.
  4. Pour the soup mixture over the ingredients in the slow cooker.
  5. Cover and set the slow cooker to LOW for 4 to 6 hours, until chicken is fork-tender.
  6. Remove the bay leaf, shred the chicken, and return it to the slow cooker.
  7. Add the thawed peas and carrots; drop in quartered biscuit pieces, pushing them halfway into the gravy.
  8. Cook on HIGH for 1.5 to 2 hours, until the biscuits are golden brown.
  9. Garnish with chives or parsley, if desired, and serve hot.

Notes

Thaw the peas and carrots beforehand for better mixing. For a lighter dish, swap out the cream soup with homemade white sauce.
