Start with the chicken and butter: Place the chicken breasts and sliced butter into your 6-quart slow cooker. The butter will melt and infuse the chicken with rich flavor as it cooks.
Add the soup ingredients: Toss in the chopped onion, frozen peas, grated carrot, and chopped parsley. Pour in the chicken broth and condensed cream of chicken soup. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Give everything a good mix to combine the ingredients well.
Step 2: Slow Cook the Chicken
Set and forget: Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on LOW for 7 hours. During this time, the chicken will become tender, and the flavors will meld together, creating a rich, savory broth.
Step 3: Shred the Chicken
Shred the chicken: After 7 hours, use two forks to shred the chicken breasts directly in the slow cooker. The chicken should be tender enough to pull apart easily, blending beautifully with the creamy soup.
Step 4: Add the Dumplings
Prepare the biscuit batter: If you’re making homemade dumplings, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Gradually add the warm milk (or water) until the mixture reaches a doughy consistency that can be dropped with a spoon.
Drop the dough into the soup: Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit batter directly into the soup. If using canned biscuit dough, cut the dough into smaller pieces and drop them into the soup.
Step 5: Cook the Dumplings
Cook on HIGH: Tilt the slow cooker lid slightly so it’s not fully closed, allowing some steam to escape. Set the slow cooker to HIGH and cook for an additional 30 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through and fluffy.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Dish it out: Once the dumplings are fully cooked, give the soup a final stir. Ladle the Chicken and Dumplings into bowls, making sure each serving has plenty of tender chicken, fluffy dumplings, and creamy broth.
