# Ingredients Required:

→ Protein

01 - 907 grams boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces

→ Vegetables

02 - 225 grams mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, and corn)
03 - 1 small onion, minced
04 - 2 cloves garlic, minced

→ Liquids & Sauces

05 - 240 milliliters chicken broth
06 - 1 can (300 grams) condensed cream of chicken soup

→ Thickening Agents

07 - 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour or cornstarch

→ Herbs & Seasonings

08 - 1 teaspoon dried thyme
09 - 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (plus extra for garnish)
10 - Salt, to taste
11 - Black pepper, to taste

→ Optional Topping

12 - 1 pie crust or biscuit dough for topping

# Guide to Cooking:

01 - Trim and cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Chop mixed vegetables evenly to ensure uniform cooking and balanced texture.
02 - Place chicken at the bottom of the slow cooker. Layer mixed vegetables on top, followed by minced onion and garlic for even flavor distribution.
03 - In a bowl, whisk together chicken broth and condensed cream of chicken soup. Gradually incorporate flour or cornstarch along with thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper until smooth and slightly thickened.
04 - Pour the sauce over layered chicken and vegetables. Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours or high for 3-4 hours until chicken is tender and sauce bubbles.
05 - If using pie crust or biscuit dough, place it atop the filling during the last 30 minutes of cooking to bake and develop a golden, flaky crust.
06 - Carefully remove topping if used. Scoop portions, garnish with fresh parsley or thyme, and serve warm.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - For even cooking, ensure vegetables are cut uniformly. Adjust seasoning to taste before serving.
