Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a 4-quart slow cooker, combine the potatoes, carrots, onion, celery, mushrooms, garlic, thyme, sage, salt, and pepper. (Prep time: 15 minutes)

02

Step

Sprinkle the crushed tapioca over the vegetable mixture, then nestle the chicken thighs into the cooker. Pour the chicken broth over the chicken and vegetables. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

03

Step

Cover and cook on Low for 6 to 7 hours, or on High for 3 to 3 1/2 hours, until the vegetables and chicken are tender and the sauce has thickened. (Cook time: 3-7 hours)

04

Step

About 30 minutes before serving, preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). (Prep time: 5 minutes)

05

Step

In a bowl, stir together the baking mix and Cheddar cheese until well combined. Mix in the milk until just combined. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

06

Step

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently 10 times. Roll the dough out to 1/2-inch thickness and cut out biscuits using a floured 3-inch biscuit cutter. Reroll scraps as needed. Place biscuits onto an ungreased baking sheet. (Prep time: 10 minutes)

07

Step

Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until golden brown. (Bake time: 10-12 minutes)

08

Step

While the biscuits are baking, remove the chicken thighs from the slow cooker and let them cool slightly. Strip the meat from the bones and coarsely chop, discarding the bones. (Prep time: 10 minutes)

09

Step

Return the chopped chicken to the slow cooker. Stir in the frozen peas and cubed cream cheese until the cream cheese has melted and the sauce is creamy. Cook for an additional 10 minutes. (Cook time: 10 minutes)

10

Step

Serve the creamy chicken and vegetables with the warm Cheddar biscuits. Enjoy!

For a richer flavor, brown the chicken thighs in a skillet before adding them to the slow cooker.
Feel free to substitute other vegetables, such as green beans, corn, or zucchini, depending on your preference.
If you don't have quick-cooking tapioca, you can use cornstarch as a substitute. Mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water to create a slurry, and add it to the slow cooker during the last hour of cooking.
Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.

    The biscuits were a little dry, so next time I'll add a little more milk to the dough.

    I added some extra vegetables and it turned out great! The cream cheese makes the sauce so creamy and delicious.
