Crockpot Chicken Pot Pie

Description

This Crockpot Chicken Pot Pie is a comforting, creamy classic made easy in the slow cooker. Tender chicken simmers in a rich, savory sauce with vegetables, then gets topped with fluffy biscuit dough for a cozy, hands-off meal. It delivers all the flavors of traditional pot pie without the fuss of a crust.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 lb boneless chicken breasts or thighs

  • 2 cans (10.5 oz each) cream of chicken soup

  • 1 cup chicken broth

  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)

  • 1 medium onion, diced

  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 tsp salt (adjust to taste)

  • ½ tsp black pepper

  • ½ tsp dried thyme or poultry seasoning

  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (quartered)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the base
    Place chicken in the bottom of the crockpot. Season with salt, pepper, and thyme.

  2. Add the sauce
    In a bowl, mix cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, onion, garlic, and frozen vegetables. Pour over the chicken.

  3. Slow cook
    Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until chicken is tender.

  4. Shred the chicken
    Remove chicken, shred with two forks, and return it to the crockpot. Stir well.

  5. Add biscuits
    Place biscuit pieces evenly on top. Cover and cook on HIGH for 45–60 minutes, until biscuits are cooked through and fluffy.

  6. Serve
    Spoon into bowls and enjoy warm

Notes

  • Biscuit dough steams rather than browns, giving a dumpling-like texture.

  • For a thicker filling, remove the lid for the last 15 minutes.

  • You can bake biscuit dough separately if you prefer a crisp topping.

Tips for Best Results

  • Chicken thighs give a richer, juicier result.

  • Stir gently after adding biscuits to avoid breaking them apart.

  • Add a splash of milk or cream at the end for extra richness.

  • Season again after cooking; slow cookers mellow flavors.
