Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Combine flour, poultry seasoning, 1 teaspoon thyme, salt and pepper in a large sealable bag; add chicken pieces to bag and toss to coat.

Step 3
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the pan and stir in carrots, celery, potatoes, mushrooms and onion; cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes. Stir remaining flour mixture into skillet and cook 1 minute. Add broth and bring to a boil. Pour skillet contents into slow cooker. Cover and cook on High for 4 hours or Low for 7 hours.
Step 4
When there is 1 hour cook time remaining, stir together biscuit mix, milk and the remaining 3/4 teaspoon thyme. Drop biscuit dough by the tablespoonful over the top of the chicken mixture. Cover slow cooker with a cotton dish towel and place the lid on top. Continue cooking until the biscuits are cooked through.
