Ingredients You’ll Need:
-
Boneless, skinless chicken: Choose breasts for lean meat or thighs if you want extra juiciness and deeper flavor.
-
Onion: Finely chopped to build a savory, aromatic base.
-
Garlic: Minced, for that essential burst of flavor.
-
Butter: A few tablespoons to add richness and a silky texture.
-
Seasonings: Poultry seasoning is your secret weapon for that classic taste. Fresh or dried parsley brings a subtle herbal brightness, along with salt and pepper to balance the flavors.
-
Chicken broth: The heart of your slow cooker liquid, infusing every bite with savory goodness.
-
Cream of chicken soup: Adds luscious creaminess that thickens and enriches the broth.
-
Biscuit dough: Use your favorite store-bought brand or homemade dough — these transform into fluffy, golden dumplings on top.
-
Optional: Frozen peas, carrots, or corn for an easy veggie boost that adds color and nutrition.
