A comforting and flavorful dish perfect for cozy evenings.
Place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker.
Ensure the chicken is evenly spread out for uniform cooking.
Heat 4 cups of water in a microwave-safe bowl and dissolve the bouillon cubes in it.
Stir the broth thoroughly to ensure the bouillon is completely dissolved.
Add the carrots, celery, black pepper, and poultry seasoning to the broth.
Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces for even cooking.
Pour the broth mixture over the chicken in the slow cooker.
Ensure the chicken is fully submerged in the broth for optimal flavor infusion.
Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until the chicken is tender and easily shredded.
Avoid lifting the lid during cooking to maintain a consistent temperature.
In a mixing bowl, combine the biscuit mix, milk, and parsley to form a dough.
Do not overmix the dough to keep the dumplings light and fluffy.
Drop spoonfuls of the dough over the chicken in the slow cooker to form dumplings.
Space the dumplings evenly to allow them to cook properly.
Cover and cook on high for 35 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through.
Check the dumplings with a toothpick; they should come out clean when done.
Serve the chicken and dumplings hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
Serve with a side of crusty bread to soak up the delicious broth.
