Introduction

Looking for an easy, cozy dinner that practically cooks itself? Slow Cooker 5-Ingredient Chicken and Biscuits is a comforting family meal made with tender chicken, creamy sauce, vegetables, and fluffy biscuits. With just five main ingredients and minimal prep, it’s perfect for busy weeknights or a relaxed Sunday supper.

Ingredients

• 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
• 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 bag (12–16 oz) frozen mixed vegetables
• 1 tube refrigerated biscuit dough

Optional pantry seasonings such as salt, black pepper, garlic powder, or dried parsley can be added to taste.

Instructions

1. Prepare the chicken: Place the chicken in the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker.
2. Add the sauce: Spoon the cream of chicken soup over the chicken and pour in the chicken broth. Spread gently to combine.
3. Add vegetables: Stir in the frozen mixed vegetables.
4. Cook: Cover and cook on LOW for 5–6 hours or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
5. Shred the chicken: Remove the chicken, shred it with two forks, and return it to the slow cooker. Stir everything together.
6. Add biscuits: Cut the refrigerated biscuit dough into quarters or small pieces and arrange them over the chicken mixture.
7. Finish cooking: Cover and cook on HIGH for about 45–60 minutes, or until the biscuit pieces are cooked through and fluffy in the center.
8. Serve: Spoon the creamy chicken and vegetables into bowls and top with warm biscuit pieces.

Description

This easy slow cooker meal tastes like a homemade chicken pot pie without all the work. The chicken becomes tender and flavorful while the creamy sauce and vegetables create a hearty filling. The biscuit pieces cook right on top, giving you a warm, fluffy topping in every serving.

Tips

• Use chicken thighs for especially juicy, tender chicken.
• Don’t add the biscuit dough until the chicken mixture is completely cooked.
• Avoid lifting the slow cooker lid repeatedly while the biscuits are cooking, as this releases heat and steam.
• For thicker filling, use slightly less chicken broth.
• Make sure the biscuits are cooked through in the center before serving.
• If your slow cooker runs hot, check the biscuits early to prevent overcooking.

Variations

• Cheesy Chicken & Biscuits: Stir in 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese before adding the biscuits.
• Herb Chicken & Biscuits: Add a little dried parsley, thyme, or poultry seasoning.
• Creamier Version: Replace part of the broth with milk.
• Mushroom Chicken & Biscuits: Use cream of mushroom soup instead of cream of chicken.
• Spicy Version: Add a pinch of crushed red pepper or a few dashes of hot sauce.
• Homestyle Topping: Sprinkle shredded cheese and dried parsley over the biscuits during the final few minutes.

Enjoy!

Serve this Slow Cooker 5-Ingredient Chicken and Biscuits hot and fresh for the ultimate comfort-food dinner. It’s simple, hearty, creamy, and wonderfully satisfying—the kind of meal everyone will want seconds of!
