- 1 cup chicken broth (low sodium recommended)
- 1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half for lighter option)
- 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup
- 1 small yellow onion, diced (about 1 cup)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- 1 (16.3 oz) can refrigerated biscuits (8 count)
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Place chicken breasts in the bottom of your 6-quart crock pot.
- Add diced onion and minced garlic around the chicken.
- Pour chicken broth over the chicken and vegetables.
- Add cream of chicken soup, spreading it evenly over the chicken.
- Pour heavy cream over everything in the crock pot.
- Sprinkle dried thyme, black pepper, and salt over the mixture.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 6 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours.
- Remove chicken from crock pot and shred using two forks. Tip: The chicken should pull apart easily when fully cooked.
- Return shredded chicken to the crock pot and stir to combine.
- Add frozen peas and shredded cheddar cheese, stirring until incorporated.
- Arrange refrigerated biscuits in a single layer on top of the chicken mixture. Tip: Leave some space between biscuits so they can expand while cooking.
- Cover and cook on HIGH for 1-1.5 hours until biscuits are golden brown and cooked through. Tip: Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a biscuit—it should come out clean.
Creamy, comforting, and utterly satisfying, this dish delivers tender chicken in a rich sauce with fluffy biscuits that soak up all the goodness. The biscuits develop a perfect golden top while staying soft underneath where they meet the creamy chicken.
