2 tsp dried oregano

1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
-
1 1/2 tsp salt

Directions
-
Layer the ingredients
Place chicken breasts at the bottom of a 5-quart (or larger) slow cooker. Sprinkle evenly with oregano, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and paprika. Add diced onion in an even layer, then pour the frozen vegetables on top. -
Make the sauce
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, cream of celery soup, and chicken broth until smooth. Pour this mixture over the chicken and vegetables. -
Cook
Cover and cook on high for 3–4 hours or low for 5–7 hours, until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 74°C / 165°F and is tender. -
Shred the chicken
Remove chicken breasts from the slow cooker and shred with two forks. Return shredded chicken to the slow cooker, stir in the heavy cream, and switch the heat to warm while you bake the biscuits. -
Bake biscuits & serve
Bake biscuits according to package directions until golden brown. Spoon the creamy chicken filling into bowls and serve hot with fresh biscuits on the side—or right on top!
Notes
-
Shortcut option: Use shredded rotisserie chicken and cut the cooking time in half.
-
Veggie swaps: Peas, green beans, or corn all work well—fresh or frozen.
-
Make it lighter: Replace heavy cream with half-and-half or evaporated milk.
-
Storage: Leftovers keep in the fridge for 3 days. Store biscuits separately to keep them from getting soggy.
-
Freezer-friendly: The chicken filling can be frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat on the stove or in a slow cooker.
