Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 360 minutes
Serves 4 people
Ingredients
- 3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken (I used frozen thighs)
- 1 yellow onion, chopped
- 1 cup mushrooms, chopped (I used baby portabellas)
- 16 ounces frozen vegetables
- 2 cans cream-of-something soup, or combine in a saucepan:
- 4 T butter
- 6 T flour (I used Pamela's baking mix)
- 1 cup milk (I used soy)
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp poultry seasoning
- 1 can refrigerated biscuits, or one batch drop biscuits (I used Pamela's Baking Mix, and used the drop-biscuit recipe listed on the back of the bag)
Directions
-
used a 6.5 quart crockpot. Anything 4 quarts and up will work. Put the chicken and vegetables into the bottom of the crockpot. Add the cream-of soups, or your homemade substitute. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 4-5. I cooked ours on high for 4 hours, and on low for another two. An hour before serving, shred chicken with two large forks, and drop in the biscuit dough.
-
Cover and cook on high for another hour. The bisquits are done when you can insert a knife and it comes out clean. They will be spongey and will brown a bit on the sides and top.
-
Serve in bowls, with a biscuit or two per person.
