Leaving the cooker on, transfer the chicken to a large bowl; shred using 2 forks. Return the shredded chicken to the cooker. Add 2 tablespoons parsley; mix well and cover the cooker. Mix flour and butter in a small bowl until a paste forms. Add the flour mixture to the cooker; stir until fully incorporated and the mixture is slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
Arrange biscuit pieces on the surface of the stew, making sure not to overlap. Cover and cook on High until a wooden pick inserted in the center of a biscuit comes out clean, about 1 hour. Stir the biscuits into the stew; stir in peas. Top with the remaining 2 tablespoons parsley.

Frequently Asked QuestionsChicken is full of essential nutrients. This recipe calls for chicken breast, which is a good source of lean protein, choline, vitamin B6 and pantothenic acid (vitamin B5).Some evidencesuggests that eating lean white meat may reduce your risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes.While celery isn’t chock-full of a variety of nutrients, it is 95% water and an excellent source of electrolytes, which makes it a good hydrating vegetable. It’s alsoa good source of vitamin K, with just one stalk providing about 10% of your Daily Value. You’ll also get a little boost of fiber with your celery, which will enhance gut health. And while we tend to think of antioxidants as being synonymous with deeper-colored produce, celery is also loaded with antioxidants—which means eating celery may also contribute to reduced inflammation and disease risk.Regardless of the type, mushrooms tend to be rich in B vitamins and potassium.

And some types of mushrooms provide vitamin D—a nutrient that people are commonly deficient in.If you prefer, you can use reduced-sodium cream of chicken soup as a substitute. It has the same creamy texture as cream of mushroom soup, but with the rich flavor of chicken that would work well in this recipe.To thicken chicken and dumplings in a crock pot, we use a paste made with equal parts of flour and softened butter, called beurre manié. This paste is a classic French thickening agent for soups, stews and sauces. When the butter melts, the flour is evenly dispersed into the hot liquid and thickens it without any lumps. Be sure to stir well until the paste is fully incorporated into the chicken mixture.For convenience, we use canned refrigerated biscuits, such as buttermilk or classic homestyle biscuits. They have the perfect fluffy texture when cooked in a crock pot.The dumplings are cooked through when the centers are fluffy, not dense or doughy. You can also check the doneness with a toothpick inserted into the center of a dumpling. If the toothpick comes out clean, the dumplings are ready to eat.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
