Instructions
1. Layer the Onion: Start by placing the chopped onion at the bottom of your slow cooker. It’s the flavorful foundation for our dish!
2. Add the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts on top of the onion layer. This will ensure the chicken absorbs all those delicious onion flavors as it cooks.
3. Mix the Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine the cream of celery soup, cream of chicken soup, chopped parsley, poultry seasoning, oregano, celery flakes, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix everything together until well blended.
4. Spread the Love: Spread this creamy, flavorful mixture evenly over the chicken in the slow cooker. This is where all the magic happens!
5. Add the Broth: Pour in two cups of chicken broth around the edges of the slow cooker, allowing it to seep through to the bottom. This will keep everything moist and delicious.
6. Cook the Chicken: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to cook on high for 5 hours. Your kitchen will start to smell amazing as the flavors meld together.
7. Shred the Chicken: Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it into bite-sized pieces. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker, mixing it well with the sauce.
8. Add Veggies and Dumplings: Sprinkle a bag of frozen mixed vegetables into the slow cooker. Break the biscuits into dumpling-sized pieces and add them in, giving everything a good stir to combine.
9. Final Cook: Replace the lid and cook on high for an additional hour. This will cook the vegetables and dumplings to perfection.
10. Serve and Enjoy: Before serving, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and extra flavor.
