Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1 pound (454 grams) boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cubed)
Vegetables:
- 1 cup (150 grams) carrots (sliced)
- 1 cup (150 grams) peas
- 1 cup (150 grams) potatoes (diced)
- 1 onion (chopped)
Liquid and Seasoning:
- 3 cups (710 milliliters) chicken broth
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) milk
- 1/4 cup (30 grams) flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- 1 can refrigerated biscuits
Instructions
- Layer chopped chicken, diced carrots, green peas, cubed potatoes, and sliced onions evenly across the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Pour chicken broth over the ingredients and sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to enhance the flavor profile.
- Cover and set the slow cooker to low temperature, allowing the mixture to simmer and develop rich flavors for 6-7 hours, or use high setting for 3-4 hours until chicken is fully cooked and vegetables become tender.
- Create a smooth thickening agent by whisking milk and flour together, forming a creamy slurry that will transform the liquid into a luxurious sauce.
- Gently stir the milk-flour mixture into the slow cooker, ensuring even distribution throughout the chicken and vegetable blend.
- Continue cooking for an additional 25-30 minutes, allowing the sauce to reach a rich, velvety consistency that coats the ingredients perfectly.
- Transfer the hearty chicken mixture to serving dishes and complement with warm, fluffy biscuits alongside or delicately arranged on top for a comforting, rustic presentation.
Notes
- Swap frozen veggies for fresh seasonal produce to enhance flavor and nutrition.
- Consider using gluten-free flour for the slurry to make the recipe celiac-friendly.
- Cut chicken into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking and consistent tenderness.
- Reduce sodium by using low-sodium chicken broth and controlling salt seasoning.
