Step 1

Add chicken, carrots, onions, thyme, and black pepper to your slow cooker.

Step 2

Add the cream of chicken soup, cream of celery soup, chicken broth and water. Stir.

Step 3

Cook on HIGH For 4 hours or LOW for 8 hours.

Step 4

Add peas at this point if you would like. Stir.

Step 5

I only use 7 biscuits for this recipe. Cut the biscuits into quarters. Arrange the biscuit quarters evenly over the soup.

Step 6

Sprinkle dumplings with a touch of thyme and pepper. Replace the lid.

Step 7

Turn your slow cooker to HIGH.

Step 8

Cover and cook on HIGH for 45 minutes (DO NOT OPEN THE LID DURING THIS TIME). You will know the dumplings are done when they are no longer shiny.NOTE- If your slow cooker has switched over to warm after cooking for a length of time you will need to cook the dumplings for 1.5 hours so the slow cooker gets back up to temperature.
