Ingredients 

1 1/2 lbs. chicken breasts, cubed

1 Can of cream of chicken soup

1 Can of cream of celery soup

1 cup water

14.5 oz. Can chicken broth

2 carrots, sliced (about 2 cups after being sliced)

2-3 ribs of celery, sliced (about 2 cups after being sliced)

1 yellow onion, diced

1/2 tsp. thyme

1/2 tsp. black pepper

1 cup frozen peas, optional

For large Crockpots, use 16.3 oz. Pillsbury Grand Biscuits, 8 biscuit-sized cans for smaller crockpots I use  Pillsbury Southern Homestyle Buttermilk Biscuits 5 ct, but only use 2-3. I cook the rest up in my toaster oven. 

more thyme and pepper for the top of biscuits

Instructions 

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

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

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

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

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

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

Turn your slow cooker to HIGH.

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.
