Ingredients

2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts

4 cups chicken broth

2 cups water

1 cup chopped carrots

1 cup chopped celery

1 cup chopped onion

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried parsley

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup frozen peas

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup butter

1/2 cup milk

Directions

Place chicken breasts in the crock pot. Add broth, water, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper. Cover and cook on low heat for 6-7 hours.
In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in milk to form a soft dough.
Drop spoonfuls of dough into the crock pot on top of the chicken mixture. Cover and cook on high heat for an additional 30 minutes.
Stir in frozen peas and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes until heated through. Season with additional salt and pepper.
Serve hot in bowls, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
