Instructions

Scatter chopped onion in the bottom of a large slow cooker, then top with chicken breasts. Season with dried oregano, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
Pour the cream of chicken soup and chicken broth over the chicken, then add fresh thyme and bay leaf.
Cover and cook on High for about 3 hours or until the chicken is cooked through.
Discard the thyme and bay leaf. Shred the chicken with two forks.
Stir in chopped celery, carrots, peas, and minced garlic.
Cut or tear the refrigerated biscuits into small bite-sized pieces and stir into the chicken mixture. Spoon the liquid over the biscuits to ensure they cook evenly.
Cook on High for another 1 to 1 1/2 hours, stirring every 30 minutes, until the vegetables are tender, and the biscuits are cooked through.
Serve hot and enjoy your comforting homemade chicken and dumplings!

Notes

If you prefer a thicker consistency, let the soup cook for an extra 15-20 minutes to reduce the liquid.
You can also use a rotisserie chicken for added flavor and convenience.
Customize with any veggies you like, such as green beans or corn!
