A comforting one-pot meal of tender chicken and vegetables in a creamy sauce, topped with fluffy biscuits. The slow cooker does all the work, making this an easy weeknight dinner.
1Place the chicken thighs, onion, carrots, celery, garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper into the slow cooker.
2Pour the chicken broth over the ingredients, cover, and cook on low for 4 hours or until the chicken is tender and shreds easily with a fork.
3Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.
4In a small bowl, whisk the flour and heavy cream together until smooth, then stir this mixture into the slow cooker along with the frozen peas and shredded chicken.
5Cover and cook on high for 15 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly.
6While the stew finishes, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
7In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
8Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, then stir in the buttermilk until just combined.
9Drop the biscuit dough by spoonfuls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, forming 6 biscuits.
10Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
11Serve the hot chicken stew topped with the warm biscuits.
For a thicker stew, increase the flour to 1/3 cup. You can substitute boneless skinless chicken breasts, but reduce cooking time to 3 hours on low to prevent dryness.
