Description

When comfort food cravings strike, few dishes hit the spot like a warm, creamy chicken pot pie.

Ingredients

Scale

1 ½ lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs

3 cups frozen mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn, green beans)

2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 ½ cups low-sodium chicken broth

1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half

1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup (or homemade substitute)

1 tsp dried thyme

½ tsp salt

½ tsp black pepper

2 tbsp butter

Optional: 1 tbsp cornstarch + 1 tbsp cold water (for thickening)

Optional: 1 can refrigerated biscuits or homemade biscuit dough (for topping)

Instructions

Step 1: Layer ingredients
Place the chicken breasts (whole) at the bottom of your slow cooker. Add chopped onions, garlic, potatoes, and frozen mixed vegetables on top.

Step 2: Pour the sauce
In a bowl, whisk together chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, heavy cream, thyme, salt, and pepper. Pour this mixture over the chicken and vegetables. Dot the top with butter for richness.

Step 3: Slow cook
Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender.

Step 4: Shred the chicken
Remove the chicken breasts and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the crockpot and stir everything together.

Step 5: Thicken the filling (optional)
If the filling seems too thin, mix the cornstarch with cold water and stir it into the pot. Cook on high for an additional 15–20 minutes until thickened.

Step 6: Add the biscuits
Preheat your oven and bake the biscuits separately according to package instructions or your homemade recipe. When serving, top each bowl of pot pie filling with a warm biscuit.

Notes

Use chicken thighs for extra flavor and moisture
Sauté onions and garlic before adding to the crockpot for deeper flavor
Don’t overfill the slow cooker—it should be no more than ¾ full
Stir at the end only—stirring during cooking can break down the vegetables
