Description

A hearty and comforting meal prepared in a slow cooker, featuring tender chicken in a creamy sauce topped with fluffy dumplings.


Ingredients

  • 3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 (10.5 oz) cans of unsalted Cream of Chicken Soup
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tsp onion powder (adjust to taste)
  • ½ tsp garlic powder (adjust to taste)
  • 2 Tbsp melted butter
  • 1 (16.3 oz) can of refrigerated biscuits


Instructions

  1. Spray a 6-quart slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and black pepper.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, onion powder, garlic powder, melted butter, and chicken broth until combined.
  4. Pour the soup mixture over the seasoned chicken in the slow cooker.
  5. Cover with the lid and cook on LOW heat for 5 hours.
  6. Once done, remove the chicken from the pot and place it on a cutting board. Shred the chicken using two forks and return it to the slow cooker, mixing it thoroughly with the sauce.
  7. Open the refrigerated biscuits and separate them. Cut each biscuit into 8 bite-sized pieces.
  8. Sprinkle the biscuit pieces over the chicken mixture. Cover the slow cooker and cook on HIGH heat for an additional hour until the biscuits are cooked through.
  9. Before serving, garnish with fresh cracked pepper and dried parsley.

Notes

For added flavor, consider adding a splash of hot sauce or fresh herbs. You can use frozen chicken by increasing the cooking time by 1-2 hours.
