Coming home and catching that cozy scent of creamy chicken filling bubbling in the slow cooker is always the best It’s the ultimate comfort—juicy chicken, sweet veggies, tasty gravy and a soft biscuit right on top I love making it because you just toss everything in, spend only a couple of minutes on prep, and then let the crock pot do its thing
When we were moving and my kitchen was basically boxes, this was the first meal I made It’s so simple and just feels good—now it’s what we make when the weather turns chilly
Dreamy Ingredients
- Chicken breasts or thighs, boneless and skinless: Packed with protein, cook up super tender, and they’re easy to shred later Use fresh stuff if you have it
- Cream of celery soup and cream of chicken soup: The base turns rich and extra creamy from these Grab low-sodium or your favorite brand out of the can
- Frozen veggie mix: The easiest shortcut for vibrant color Classic blends have corn, peas, and carrots—can’t go wrong with those
- Onion powder and garlic powder: These easy seasonings go a long way Newer jars taste best, toss out the old ones
- Pepper, black: Brings just a little heat and kick Cracking it fresh perks the flavors up
- Biscuit topping: Love a flaky biscuit? Use homemade or pop open a can Either way, it’s the perfect finishing touch and great at soaking up the creamy filling
Easy Step-by-Step Directions
- Get Things Cooking:
- First off, spray your slow cooker with oil Place your chicken pieces in a single layer at the bottom Sprinkle half the garlic, onion powder, and black pepper on the chicken Make sure every piece gets coated
- Layer On The Soups:
- Now spread both cans of soup right over the chicken Smooth it out so the poultry is hidden and covered The soup makes a thick, luscious base
- Vegetables and Seasonings Go In:
- Toss frozen veggies right on top Sprinkle the last of your onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper over the lot It’ll all mix together as it cooks
- Let the Crock Pot Work:
- Snap that lid on Slow cook on low for 6–8 hours or turn up to high for 4–6 hours You’ll know it’s ready when the chicken falls apart with a fork That slow simmer keeps everything juicy
- Fresh Biscuits Time:
- Set your biscuits to bake about 15 to 20 minutes before you want to dig in For that homey feel, make your own Fluffy is best so they soak up all that creamy sauce
- Shred and Mix:
- About ready to serve? Take two forks and pull the chicken apart right in the pot Give it all a good mix so that every bite gets chicken and creamy veggies
- Dishing Up:
- Scoop the filling into your bowl and give everyone a warm biscuit Let folks tear them open and smother with that awesome filling
Honestly, what I look forward to most is biting into a hot, soft biscuit My kids can’t resist sneaking in for the first one and everyone goes back for more It seriously does feel like getting hugged with food
Keeping Yours Fresh
