Ingredients
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 medium carrots, peeled and chopped
- 3 celery stalks, chopped
- 3 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 2 cups frozen peas
- 1 cup frozen corn (optional)
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup milk
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup butter or margarine
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp dried parsley
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (or homemade biscuits if preferred)
Directions
- Prepare the Crockpot
Place chicken, onion, carrots, celery, and potatoes into the slow cooker. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper. Pour in chicken broth. - Cook Until Tender
Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or on high for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and the vegetables are soft. - Shred the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the crockpot, shred with two forks, and return it to the mixture. Stir to combine. - Make the Cream Sauce
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1–2 minutes. Slowly whisk in milk until smooth and slightly thickened. - Combine and Heat Through
Stir the cream sauce into the crockpot. Add peas (and corn, if using). Let cook on low for another 15–20 minutes to thicken and heat through. - Bake the Biscuits
While the filling finishes, bake the biscuits according to package instructions or your favorite recipe until golden brown. - Serve
Ladle the creamy chicken mixture into bowls and top with biscuits for a warm, nourishing family dinner.
