Savory Slow Cooker Chicken and Dumplings Delight

Ingredients

• 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 cup carrots, diced
• 1 cup celery, diced
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 2 cups refrigerated biscuit dough
• 0 Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. In a slow cooker, add the chicken thighs, chicken broth, diced carrots, diced celery, chopped onion, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
2. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
3. Once the cooking time is complete, remove the chicken thighs from the slow cooker and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker.
4. Stir in the heavy cream and frozen peas, mixing until well combined.
5. Cut the biscuit dough into quarters and drop the pieces over the chicken mixture in the slow cooker.
6. Cover and cook on high for an additional 30 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked and fluffy. Avoid lifting the lid during this time to ensure the dumplings steam properly.
7. After the dumplings are cooked, give the mixture a gentle stir to incorporate everything.
8. Serve warm, garnished with fresh chopped parsley.
