Protein
- 1.5 to 2 pounds chicken breasts or thighs, trimmed and cubed
Vegetables
- 4 cups frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn) or fresh equivalent
Liquids and Base
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup chicken broth
Seasonings
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or rosemary/sage as variation)
Topping
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough
- 2 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces
- Prepare the Ingredients: Trim and cube the chicken breasts or thighs. Gather frozen mixed vegetables and seasonings so you can assemble everything quickly.
- Combine the Ingredients in the Crock Pot: Place the cubed chicken, frozen mixed vegetables, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, salt, pepper, and thyme into the crockpot. Stir gently to mix everything evenly.
- Cook on Low: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 5 to 6 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked, tender, and the sauce is creamy and savory.
- Add the Biscuit Topping: About 30 minutes before serving, separate and place biscuit dough pieces on top of the cooked filling in the crock pot. Dot each piece with small bits of butter to encourage browning and add flavor.
- Finish Cooking: Increase the crock pot to high and cook uncovered for the final 30 minutes, allowing the biscuit topping to bake golden and fluffy.
Notes
- Use bone-in chicken for extra flavor but remove bones before serving.
- Don’t overfill the crockpot; leave space for the biscuit topping to rise.
- Check and adjust seasoning (salt and pepper) before adding biscuit dough.
- Fluff biscuit layers gently before layering to ensure even baking.
- You can prepare the filling a day in advance and refrigerate it to save time on cooking day.
