• 1 can Cream of chicken soup
• 1 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker.

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

Step 3

Pour the chicken broth and cream of chicken soup over the ingredients in the slow cooker.

Step 4

Sprinkle in the salt, black pepper, and dried thyme. Stir gently to combine, leaving the chicken breasts intact.

Step 7

Cut the refrigerated biscuit dough into small pieces (about 1-inch in size) and drop them into the slow cooker on top of the mixture.

Step 8

Cover the slow cooker and continue cooking on high heat for an additional 30 minutes, or until the biscuit pieces are cooked through and fluffy.

Step 9

Give the mixture a gentle stir to combine the dumplings with the chicken and vegetables.
