A comforting and flavorful dish made with tender chicken and fluffy herb dumplings, all cooked in a slow cooker for convenience.
Prepare the vegetables by dicing the onion, carrots, and celery.
Uniformly sized pieces ensure even cooking.
Place the chicken breasts, diced vegetables, minced garlic, thyme, bay leaf, and chicken broth into the slow cooker.
Layer the chicken at the bottom for even cooking.
Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours until the chicken is tender.
Avoid opening the lid during cooking to maintain heat.
Shred the chicken using two forks and stir it back into the broth.
Shredding the chicken allows it to absorb more flavor.
Tear the biscuit dough into small pieces and mix with chopped parsley. Add to the slow cooker.
Distribute the dough evenly for uniform cooking.
Cook on high for an additional 30 minutes until the dumplings are cooked through and fluffy.
Check the dumplings for doneness by inserting a toothpick.
Serve the chicken and dumplings hot, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
Pair with a side salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
