How to Make Slow Cooker Chicken Pot Pie

Prep the Chicken: Start by seasoning your 4 medium skinless, boneless chicken breasts with 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, ½ teaspoon poultry seasoning, and your desired amount of salt and pepper. Make sure to coat them well on all sides before placing the chicken in the slow cooker.
Make the Sauce: In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup milk, the 10-ounce can of cream of chicken soup, and ¼ cup chicken broth. Whisk these ingredients together until fully blended and pour the mixture over the chicken in the slow cooker.
Add the Veggies: It’s time for the veggies! Sprinkle in the finely chopped small yellow onion, the 16-ounce bag of frozen mixed vegetables, and the diced 1 pound potatoes over the chicken.
Cook: Cover the slow cooker and set it on Low for 6 hours or on High for 3-4 hours. The chicken should be tender and the veggies perfectly cooked.
Prepare the Topping: When there’s about 15 minutes left of cooking time, preheat your oven and prepare the 16 ounces of Grands biscuits according to package directions, allowing them to bake until golden brown.
Shred the Chicken: After cooking, carefully remove the chicken breasts from the slow cooker. Use two forks to shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces, then stir the shredded chicken back into the mixture, ensuring it’s well combined.
Serve: Ladle generous portions of your chicken pot pie into bowls and top each serving with the freshly baked biscuits. Enjoy this warm, comforting dish!

Storing & Reheating

To store your slow cooker chicken pot pie, allow it to cool and then transfer it to an airtight container. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze it in an appropriate container, ensuring you leave some space for expansion. It will keep well in the freezer for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to enjoy it again, simply reheat in the oven at 350°F until warmed through, or in the microwave for 3-4 minutes until hot. Note that the texture of the biscuits might change slightly after freezing, but they can be refreshed by baking a few minutes longer.

Chef’s Helpful Tips

Don’t rush the chicken shredding! Let it cool slightly before shredding; it’s easier to handle.
Browning the chicken before slow cooking adds flavor, but it’s not necessary for this recipe.
For an extra twist, add a dash of your favorite hot sauce or a sprinkle of fresh herbs to the dish before serving.
Feel free to mix up the veggies according to your family’s preferences; corn and green beans are excellent substitutes.
If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can mix in a tablespoon of cornstarch about 30 minutes before serving.

You’ve got creamy comfort and delightful textures all in one bowl, making it perfect for gathering around the dinner table.

Recipe FAQs

Can I use fresh vegetables instead of frozen?

Absolutely! Fresh vegetables can be delightful here, but make sure to chop them into small pieces so they cook evenly in the slow cooker. You may want to reduce the cooking time just a bit.

How do I ensure my chicken stays tender?

The key to tender chicken is low and slow. Cooking on the Low setting for the full 6 hours ensures that the chicken doesn’t dry out and remains juicy and easy to shred.

Can I make this dish ahead of time?

Yes! You can prep everything and store it in the fridge overnight. Just pop it into the slow cooker in the morning, and by dinner, you’ll have a delicious meal waiting for you.

What if I don’t have biscuits?

If biscuits aren’t on hand, you can use puff pastry instead. Roll it out and cut it into squares to top your pot pie. Bake it until golden and flaky for an equally comforting experience!
