This is one of the best (and easiest) chicken and dumpling recipes that I have ever tried. I did alter it, adding peas to it, so it is more like a chicken pot pie.

Never has comfort food ever been so easily done! This "pot pie" requires adding ingredients to the slow cooker, turning it on, and letting it simmer for the day. Chicken thighs add a richer flavor to the dish. It has all the flavors of a chicken pot pie, but instead of a pastry crust diced refrigerated biscuit dough is sprinkled on top. They plump up into delicious little dumplings. A filling and comforting meal that'll warm you up on a cold day.
