Chicken and Stew Ingredients
- 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup
- 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of celery soup
- 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Biscuits
- 1 can refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
Optional Add-ins
- Shredded cheddar cheese
- Fresh thyme or rosemary
- Prepare the crock pot: Place the boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs into the bottom of the Crock Pot in an even layer.
- Season the chicken: Sprinkle the garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper evenly over the chicken to infuse the flavors.
- Add soups and vegetables: Pour the cream of chicken soup and cream of celery soup over the chicken. Then add the frozen mixed vegetables on top. Stir gently to combine and distribute ingredients without disturbing the chicken too much.
- Cook the mixture: Cover the Crock Pot with its lid and cook on LOW for 6–8 hours or on HIGH for 4–6 hours until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
- Bake the biscuits: Near the end of the cooking time, bake the refrigerated buttermilk biscuits according to the package directions in the oven to achieve a warm, flaky accompaniment.
- Shred the chicken: Once cooked, shred the chicken directly in the pot using two forks, mixing everything well to combine the shredded chicken with the soups and vegetables.
- Serve: Scoop the chicken stew into bowls and serve with a warm biscuit on top or split open on the side. Add optional shredded cheddar cheese and fresh herbs if desired for extra flavor.
Notes
- Store the stew and biscuits separately to prevent sogginess.
- Refrigerate the stew for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Reheat with a splash of broth or water if the stew becomes too thick.
- Add shredded cheddar cheese for a creamy twist.
- Fresh thyme or rosemary can be added for enhanced aroma and flavor.
