- Add in bay leaf, parsley, rosemary, thyme and garlic powder.1 bay leaf, 1 teaspoon dried parsley, ½ teaspoon dried rosemary, ½ teaspoon dried thyme, ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Pour in chicken broth, carrot, onion, and cream of chicken soup. Gently stir the top to incorporate the ingredients without disturbing the chicken. It doesn’t have to be completely mixed together.1¾ cups low-sodium chicken broth, 1 carrot, 1 onion, 10.5 ounces cream of chicken soup
- Cover crockpot with the lid and cook in the crockpot on high for 3-4 hours or until the chicken is easy to shred and reaches the internal temperature of 165°F.
- Add the frozen peas. You can shred the chicken if you desire. Stir well to combine.½ cup frozen peas
- Open a can of biscuit dough and cut each biscuit into fourths. Roll each biscuit into a round ball. Arrange the biscuit pieces on top of everything else in the crockpot.16.3 ounces refrigerated biscuit dough
- Replace the lid, turn the crockpot to high, and cook the biscuits until done, about 1 to 2 hours depending on your crockpot. Don’t lift the lid to check on them, if possible. If you have a glass lid, you can peek through the glass. The biscuits should take on a matte look when they are finished. Cut into one biscuit to make sure it’s cooked through.
- When the biscuits are done, adjust seasonings to taste and serve.Chopped fresh parsley

Notes
- Use chicken thighs rather than breasts for this recipe. They stay perfectly tender and are less likely to dry out.
- When you add the dumplings, avoid lifting the lid to check on them. They need the steam to get light and fluffy.
