Equipment

  • slow cooker

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup carrots
  • 1 cup celery
  • 1 cup onion
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can of cream of chicken soup
  • 2 (14.5 ounce) cans low-sodium chicken broth
  • ⅓ cup water
  • 1 teaspoon Better Than Bouillon chicken base
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 (16.3 ounce) 8-count canned biscuits
  • nonstick cooking spray
  • flour as needed to roll biscuits

Instructions

  • Spray the slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray and add the chicken, carrots, celery, onion, soup, broth, water, chicken base, garlic powder, and salt to the slow cooker, stir to combine.
  • Cook on high 3-4 hours or on low 6-7 hours.
  • Transfer the chicken to a plate, shred with two forks, and return it to the slow cooker.
  • Add the milk and stir.
  • Separate each biscuit in half horizontally and flatten on a lightly floured work surface, adding more flour as needed to prevent sticking. Cut into small squares. I usually get between 15 and 18 squares per half.
  • Slowly add the biscuits to the pot making sure to separate them. Add a few pieces (about half a biscuit) at a time, stirring gently between additions so they don't stick together.
  • Cover and cook on high 1 hour or until the biscuits are cooked through.

Notes

I use Pillsbury Southern Style Grands Buttermilk biscuits, not Flaky Layers or Butter Tastin'.
