Ingredients
1 pound ground chicken
1 pound ground beef
1 cup finely chopped yellow onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup finely chopped carrots
1 cup finely chopped celery
4 cups low sodium chicken broth
1 cup frozen peas
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cold water
1 package refrigerated biscuit dough (16 ounces), cut into quarters
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped carrots, chopped celery, dried thyme, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Place the meat and vegetable mixture evenly in the bottom of a 6-quart crockpot.
Pour the chicken broth over the meat mixture.
Cover and cook on low for 4 hours.
About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the frozen peas.
In a small bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and cold water until smooth to create a slurry.
Add the slurry to the crockpot and stir gently to thicken the broth.
Place the biscuit dough quarters on top of the mixture in the crockpot, spacing them evenly.
Cover and cook on low for an additional 30 minutes, or until the biscuits are cooked through and fluffy.
Serve the dumplings hot with the savory broth and meat mixture.
