Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into chunks
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
- 2 stalks celery, sliced
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
- 1 tube refrigerated biscuits or puff pastry, cut into squares
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted (for brushing)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish optional
Instructions
Preparation
- Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and dice the onion, carrots, and celery. Mince the garlic. Gather all other ingredients.
Assemble the Slow Cooker
- Place the chicken pieces at the bottom of your slow cooker. Layer the diced onion, sliced carrots, sliced celery, and frozen peas on top of the chicken. Sprinkle the minced garlic over the vegetables.
Thicken the Sauce
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, heavy cream, all-purpose flour, dried thyme, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Pour this creamy mixture over the ingredients in the slow cooker.
Prepare the Topping
- Cut refrigerated biscuits or puff pastry into squares to fit over the top of the mixture in the slow cooker.
Cook
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours. For a crispy topping, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) if using biscuits.
- Once ready, place the cooked contents into an oven-safe dish, top with the biscuits, brush with melted butter, and bake for about 10-15 minutes until golden brown. Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley if desired.
