8boneless skinless chicken thighs(trimmed of excess fat)
1(10-ounce)package of frozen peas
1(10-ounce)package of 10 buttermilk biscuits(cut into 1" to 1½" pieces; to make dumplings using an all purpose baking mix (like Bisquick), see below)

Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl whisk together the soup, flour, salt, herbs de Provence, and pepper.
Add potatoes and carrots to the slow cooker, then the chicken. Spread the broth mixture over the top.
Cover and cook on low for 5 to 7 hours or until the chicken is done (165℉) and no longer pink. Stir in the frozen peas. Turn heat to high, cover, and cook for 15 minutes.
Place the cut biscuits over the top of the chicken mixture. Cover and cook on high for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the dumplings comes out clean. Garnish with fresh parsley and sprinkle with paprika.

DUMPLINGS USING BAKING MIX: In a bowl, mix 1½ cups of all-purpose baking mix with ½ cup of milk. Drop by spoonful on top of chicken mixture. Cover and cook for 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
VARIATIONS:bake homemade or canned biscuits and serve the chicken and gravy over the top; corn can be added in place of peas; thyme can be used in place of herbs de Provence; chicken can be precut into bite size pieces if desired (note that it will cook faster); use all cream of chicken soup or a combination with cream of celery or cream of mushroom.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS: Season to taste with additional salt and pepper as needed. Garnish with fresh parsley.
