Ingredients:

Step-By-Step Directions:

1. Prep the base: Scatter the diced onion in an even layer across the bottom of your slow cooker, then place the chicken thighs in a single layer directly over the onions.

2. Mix the gravy: In a bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, cream of celery soup, poultry seasoning, fresh parsley, and black pepper until smooth.

3. Combine: Pour the soup mixture evenly over the chicken, then pour the chicken broth across the top.

4. Slow cook: Cover with the lid and cook on HIGH for 4 hours.

5. Shred and add veggies: Remove the lid and shred the tender chicken directly in the slow cooker using two forks. Stir in the defrosted mixed vegetables until well combined.

6. Prep dumplings: Flatten each refrigerated biscuit and cut into 4 long strips.

7. Cook dumplings: Layer the biscuit strips across the top of the hot chicken mixture. Cover immediately with the lid.

8. Final hour: Cook on HIGH for 1 final hour without lifting the lid so the dumplings steam properly.

9. Garnish and serve: Gently stir to combine the fluffy dumplings into the creamy chicken gravy, garnish with additional fresh parsley, and serve hot.
