Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Place chicken at the bottom of the slow cooker. Add broth, cream of chicken, and cream of celery soup. Mix gently to coat the chicken.
  2. Add diced onion, sliced carrots, and minced garlic. Sprinkle thyme, pepper, salt, and poultry seasoning on top without stirring. Cover with the lid.
  3. Cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours until chicken is tender. Avoid peeking to maintain steam.
  4. Shred chicken in the crockpot using two forks to integrate into the broth.
  5. Cut biscuit dough into 1-inch pieces and drop them on top, partially submerging without stirring.
  6. Cover and cook on high for an additional hour until dumplings are fluffy. Keep the lid on to maintain steam.
  7. Fold in frozen peas about 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
