Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken breasts boneless and skinless
- 1 medium yellow onion diced
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup chicken broth low sodium
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons water cold
- 1 12-ounce bag peas and carrots frozen
- 1 16-ounce buttermilk biscuits Southern-style, refrigerated
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Pour the onion, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, heavy cream, and chicken broth over the chicken breasts.
- Cook the chicken on low for 6 hours or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165° Fahrenheit and shreds easily.
- Remove the chicken breasts from the slow cooker. To thicken the broth, whisk the cornstarch and cold water together in a small bowl and then whisk into the liquid in the slow cooker.
- Shred the chicken breasts and return them to the slow cooker. Add the frozen peas and carrots to the slow cooker and stir to combine.
- Remove the biscuits from the can and lay them on a cutting board or flat surface. Sprinkle one side of the biscuits evenly with half of the dried thyme. Flip the biscuits over and sprinkle them with the remaining thyme. Firmly press down on the biscuit dough with your hands so that the thyme sticks to the dough.
- Cut each biscuit in half then roll each half into a ball with your hands to make the dumplings. Place the dumplings in the slow cooker in an even layer, gently pushing them down into the liquid.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on high for another hour or until the biscuits are cooked through. Serve and if desired garnish with fresh parsley..
Notes
Slow Cooker Times
I recommend cooking the chicken on the low heat setting in your slow cooker. Cooking them low and slow makes the dish more flavorful and tender.On Low: 7 to 8 hours
On High: 3 to 4 hours
