Description

This cozy Slow Cooker Chicken and Biscuits recipe is the ultimate comfort food. Tender shredded chicken, hearty vegetables, and a creamy gravy all simmer together in the slow cooker, then topped with fluffy, golden biscuits. It’s a warm, satisfying meal perfect for busy weeknights or lazy weekends.


Ingredients

For the Chicken Filling:

  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs

  • 1 cup chopped onion

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 cups carrots, sliced

  • 2 cups chopped celery

  • 1 cup frozen peas

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme

  • 1/2 tsp dried rosemary

  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup

  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream or milk

  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour (optional, for thickening)

For the Biscuits:

  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits) or use homemade biscuits if preferred


Instructions

  1. Add Ingredients to Slow Cooker:
    Place chicken, onion, garlic, carrots, celery, peas, salt, pepper, thyme, rosemary, cream of chicken soup, and chicken broth into the slow cooker. Stir gently to combine.

  2. Cook:
    Cover and cook on LOW for 6-7 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and easily shreds.

  3. Shred Chicken:
    Remove chicken, shred it with two forks, then return it to the slow cooker.

  4. Add Cream and Thicken (Optional):
    Stir in the heavy cream or milk. If a thicker filling is desired, mix the flour with a bit of water to make a slurry, then stir it in and cook for another 20–30 minutes.

  5. Bake Biscuits:
    About 20 minutes before serving, bake the biscuits according to the package instructions (usually 350–375°F for 12–15 minutes) until golden brown.

  6. Serve:
    Spoon the creamy chicken mixture into bowls and top with warm biscuits. Serve immediately.


Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use a mix of chicken thighs and breasts.

  • You can use homemade biscuits or frozen biscuits if preferred.

  • Add a splash of lemon juice or fresh parsley before serving for a fresh pop of flavor.
