Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 medium carrots, sliced
- 3 celery stalks, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup frozen peas (optional)
- 1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 tbsp melted butter
Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts into the crockpot. Add the diced onion, sliced carrots, sliced celery, and minced garlic to form the base.
- Pour in chicken broth and cream of chicken soup. Stir gently to combine, then season with thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper to taste.
- Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender.
- Carefully remove the chicken breasts and shred them into bite-sized pieces with two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the crockpot.
- Stir in the frozen peas (if using) and the heavy cream. Mix thoroughly to create a creamy consistency.
- Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Add milk and melted butter, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling batter over the heated mixture in the crockpot. Cover and cook on high for 30-40 minutes until the dumplings are light and fluffy.
- Scoop portions into bowls and serve immediately for a comforting meal.
Notes
- Feel free to add more vegetables like peas or corn according to your preference.
- For a healthier version, use low-fat cream or omit the heavy cream altogether.
