Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 can cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough
- Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of the slow cooker, ensuring they are evenly spaced for even cooking.
- In a bowl, mix together the chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, frozen vegetables, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Pour the mixture over the chicken in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
- About 30 minutes before serving, cut the biscuit dough into quarters and drop them on top of the chicken mixture.
- Cover again and cook until the biscuits are fluffy and cooked through, about 30 minutes more.
- Serve the chicken and dumplings hot, garnished with chopped parsley if desired.
