• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 7.5 oz can Refrigerated biscuit dough
• 1 cup Frozen peas

Directions

Step 1

Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your crock pot.

Step 2

Add the diced carrots, celery, and onion on top of the chicken.

Step 3

Pour in the chicken broth and cream of chicken soup. Stir gently to combine.

Step 4

Sprinkle in the thyme, rosemary, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir again to evenly distribute the seasonings.

Step 5

Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on HIGH for 4 hours or LOW for 6-8 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

Step 6

Once cooked, carefully remove the chicken breasts and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the crock pot.

Step 7

Stir in the frozen peas.

Step 8

Cut the refrigerated biscuit dough into small bite-sized pieces (roughly 1-inch pieces) and layer them on top of the mixture in the crock pot.

Step 9

Push the biscuit dough down slightly so that it soaks up some of the broth.

Cover the crock pot and cook on HIGH for an additional 1-1.5 hours, until the biscuits are puffed up and cooked through.

Step 11

Gently stir to distribute the dumplings throughout the dish.
