Instructions

1. Place the chicken breasts in the crockpot. Add diced onion, sliced carrots, sliced celery, and minced garlic.

2. Pour in the chicken broth and cream of chicken soup. Stir to combine. Season with thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper.

3. Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or on high for 3–4 hours, until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender.

4. Remove chicken and shred with two forks. Return shredded chicken to the crockpot.

5. Stir in frozen peas (if using) and heavy cream. Mix well.

6. In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in milk and melted butter until just combined. Do not overmix.

7. Drop spoonfuls of dumpling batter onto the hot chicken mixture in the crockpot. Cover and cook on high for 30–40 minutes until dumplings are fluffy and cooked through.

8. Serve hot and enjoy this cozy bowl of Crockpot Chicken and Dumplings!

Notes

For fluffier dumplings, resist the urge to lift the lid while cooking them. You can skip the peas if preferred or substitute with corn. Half-and-half can be used instead of heavy cream for a lighter option.
