Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 large onion, diced
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups reduced sodium chicken broth
- 2 cups frozen vegetables (or peas and carrots, thawed)
Soup Mixture
- 10.5 ounces condensed cream of celery soup (1 can)
- 10.5 ounces condensed cream of chicken soup (1 can)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- Black pepper, to taste
Dumplings
- 16.3 ounces refrigerated biscuits (1 can, Buttermilk, Country, or Homestyle)
Instructions
- Prepare Crock Pot Base: Add the diced onion to the 6-quart crock pot and place the chicken breasts on top of the onion.
- Mix Creamy Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the condensed cream of celery soup, condensed cream of chicken soup, chopped parsley, poultry seasoning, and black pepper. Spread this mixture evenly over the chicken breasts in the crock pot.
- Add Broth and Cook: Pour the reduced sodium chicken broth over the chicken and soup mixture. Cover and cook on high for 5 hours to allow the chicken to become tender and absorb the flavors.
- Prepare Biscuit Strips: About 1 hour before serving (after approximately 4 hours of cooking), roll each refrigerated biscuit thin and flat. Cut each biscuit into 4 strips.
- Add Vegetables and Dumplings: Stir the frozen vegetables into the crock pot mixture, then place the biscuit strips on top of the vegetables. Replace the lid quickly to keep the heat in and continue cooking until the biscuits are cooked through and dumplings have formed.
Notes

- Using refrigerated biscuits for dumplings makes the recipe shortcut-friendly.
- The dumplings form a fluffy, comforting topping after cooking.
- Adjust poultry seasoning and pepper to your taste for added flavor.
