Ingredients
  

  • 1 onion diced
  • 6 boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup
  • 1 can cream of celery soup
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 can refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
  • 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables thawed
  • Black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Spread the diced onion over the bottom of a slow cooker.
  • Arrange the chicken thighs over the onion in a single layer.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together the cream of chicken soup, cream of celery soup, poultry seasoning, chopped parsley, and black pepper.
  • Spoon the soup mixture over the chicken and spread it roughly across the top.
  • Pour the chicken broth into the slow cooker.
  • Cover and cook on HIGH for about 5 hours.
  • Leave the lid closed during the first 4 hours so the slow cooker can maintain its temperature.
  • When about 1 hour of cooking time remains, add the thawed mixed vegetables.
  • Shred the tender chicken directly in the crockpot using two forks or a sturdy spoon. Stir the chicken and vegetables into the creamy broth.
  • Remove the biscuits from the can and flatten each one slightly.
  • Cut each biscuit into about four strips or several smaller dumpling-size pieces.
  • Scatter the biscuit pieces evenly over the chicken mixture.
  • Gently press the dough down until the bottoms touch the hot broth, but avoid completely submerging every piece.
  • Cover again and continue cooking on HIGH for about 1 hour, or until the biscuit dumplings are puffed and cooked through.
  • Tear open one of the thickest dumplings before serving. If the center still looks wet or doughy, continue cooking until done.
  • Give the chicken and dumplings a gentle stir and serve hot.
