Equipment

Ingredients

1 ½ lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 ½ cups low sodium chicken broth
1 tsp poultry seasoning
½ tsp ground black pepper
1 tsp onion powder
2 (10.5 oz) cans cream of chicken soup
3 tsp garlic (minced)
1 (12 oz) bag frozen mixed vegetables
½ cup cup sour cream
1 (16 oz) can refrigerated biscuits (8 count)

Instructions

Add chicken to the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker.
In a large bowl, add chicken broth, poultry seasoning, black pepper, onion powder, cream of chicken soup, garlic, and mixed vegetables. Stir until well combine and pour over chicken.
Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours.
Remove chicken and shred with two forks. Then, add back into the slow cooker. Add sour cream and mix until well combined.
Cut biscuits into fourths and place on top of everything. Cover and continue to cook on high for 1½ - 2 hours.
Before serving make sure biscuits are completely cooked through. Enjoy!

Notes

Cook on High Heat. High heat helps the biscuits cook through without overcooking the chicken.

Don't Over-cook. Since slow cookers may cook differently, I suggest checking on the dumplings after an hour so they don't cook for too long.

Temperature Check. Thinner chicken breasts will cook more quickly than thick breasts so be sure to use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature of the chicken is at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit to determine doneness.

Prefer a Thinner Consistency. If you like your dumplings with a juicier consistency, add an extra cup of chicken broth when you add everything to the slow cooker.
