Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Place the boneless skinless chicken breasts evenly at the bottom of your crockpot.
  2. Pour in the chicken broth until it fully covers the chicken. Toss in the diced onion, sliced carrots, and sliced celery along with minced garlic.
  3. Sprinkle in the dried thyme, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Gently stir everything together.
  4. Cover the crockpot with its lid and set it to low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
  5. Carefully remove the chicken breasts from the crockpot. Use two forks to shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
  6. Add in the frozen peas, cream of chicken soup, and milk to the mixture. Stir gently to combine.
  7. Cut the refrigerated biscuit dough into quarters and drop the pieces over the bubbling chicken mixture.
  8. Cover the crockpot again and cook on high for 30-40 minutes until the dumplings have puffed up and turned golden.
