Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (or 2 cloves garlic, minced)
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, green beans)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch + 1 tbsp cold water (optional, for thickening)
  • 1 can (8-count) refrigerated biscuit dough
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter (optional, for brushing biscuits)
  • fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

  • Add chicken, chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, diced onion, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, and a light pinch of salt and pepper to the slow cooker. Stir to combine.
  • Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or on HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and very tender.
  • Remove the chicken to a cutting board and shred with two forks (or use a hand mixer in a deep bowl). Return shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir.
  • Stir in the frozen mixed vegetables. Switch to HIGH and cook 30 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, whisk 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 1 tablespoon cold water, stir into the slow cooker, and cook 15–20 minutes until lightly thickened.
  • Meanwhile, bake the refrigerated biscuits according to package directions until golden brown. Optionally brush with melted butter.
  • Taste and adjust salt and pepper. Ladle the creamy chicken mixture into bowls and top each portion with a warm biscuit. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
