  • 3.0 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3.0 medium carrots, sliced
  • 2.0 stalks celery, chopped
  • 4.0 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1.0 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1.0 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1.0 teaspoon salt
  • 1.0 cup frozen peas
  • 1.0 cup heavy cream
  • 0.75 cans refrigerated biscuit dough
  • 2.0 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions
 

  • Place the chicken thighs in the bottom of the crockpot.
  • On top of the chicken, add the chopped onion, minced garlic, sliced carrots, and chopped celery.
  • Pour the chicken broth over the vegetables and chicken. Sprinkle the dried thyme, dried rosemary, black pepper, and salt over the top.
  • Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.

  • Open the can of biscuit dough and cut each biscuit into quarters. Gently fold the dough pieces into the mixture in the crockpot, ensuring they are covered by the broth mixture.
