    Why This Recipe Works

    One of the meals that is most memorable from childhood is traditional, comforting chicken pot pie. I remember my stepmom pulling hot savory pot pies out of the oven on busy nights and just totally devouring them when they were still steaming hot and bubbling with deliciousness.

    Is there a better comfort food on the planet? A perfectly baked crust that holds a savory, hot, delicious secret inside? Nothing could be better!

    For this recipe, I wanted to transform the classic American dinner into an easy crock pot meal. Let the insides cook while you work (or clean, or shop or take care of the kiddos) and top it off with an easily-baked biscuit! It’s a comforting dream come true!

    Let’s remove stress from your Thanksgiving menu planning!

    Recipe Ingredients

    Chicken pot pie ingredients lined up on a white counter.
    • Chicken – Use boneless skinless chicken breasts or chicken thighs in place of breasts if you’re wanting more of a dark meat pot pie. Cooking hack: omit chicken breasts and add meat pulled from a Rotisserie chicken 30 minutes before cook time is up.
    • Chicken stock – Chicken broth and chicken stock can be used interchangeably in this recipe. For a thicker end result, either cut the amount of stock used in half or omit it entirely.
    • Veggies – Replace the peas and corn with frozen mixed vegetables or another combination of veggies, if desired.
    • Biscuits – Any variety of refrigerated biscuits works great as a topper for this recipe.

    How To Make Slow Cooker Chicken Pot Pie

    Using your crock pot is the way to go when you need EASY. Let your slow cooker do the work for you and top off the “insides” with an easy biscuit! Follow these simple directions to make your next batch of crockpot chicken pot pie.

    Step 1

    Place 4 skinless chicken breasts in a large slow cooker. Add onion, carrots, celery, parsley, paprika, oregano, salt and pepper. Pour chicken stock and cream of chicken soup over top. Stir the mixture on top of the chicken.

    Spatula stirring veggies and creamy soup in a crockpot.

    Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or cook on high for 3-4 hours.

    Step 2

    Two forks shredding chicken breasts on a cutting board.

    Thirty minutes before cooking time is up, remove the chicken breasts and shred using two forks or chop chicken. Return the meat to the crock pot along with the frozen peas and corn and let everything cook for 30 minutes.

    Recipe Notes

    • If you have the time, I always recommend cooking this low and slow!
    • Additional spices may be added, such as garlic powder, cayenne pepper or paprika.
    • Add poultry seasoning to the chicken before placing it into the crock pot for an extra punch of flavor.
    • This is a great recipe to serve at a party and it also works great as a week night dinner.
    • I did not use heavy cream in this recipe in order to keep it on the healthy side. For a creamier recipe, add 1/2 to 1 cup of heavy whipping cream at the same time the peas and corn are added.
    • Replace the chicken broth with bouillon cubes, if desired. 1 cup of stock = 1 bouillon cube mixed into 1 cup of boiling water.
    • Top the mixture with a sprinkling ground black pepper just before serving.

    How To Thicken Chicken Pot Pie

    In order to thicken this classic meal, either cut the amount of stock or broth used in half or omit it entirely. Additionally, you can opt to add a cornstarch slurry to the mixture while cooking.

    Whisk 1 to 2 teaspoons of corn starch into cold water until smooth. Gradually add to the mixture to thicken.

    For a more creamy chicken pot pie, add a can of cream of mushroom soup to the mixture.

    Can I Use Shredded Meat From a Rotisserie Chicken For This Recipe

    Skip adding the chicken to the crock pot in the beginning and instead add meat that is already cooked and pulled from a Rotisserie chicken toward the end, when the peas and corn are added. This will save you a few minutes of effort!

    FAQ About Chicken Pot Pie

      this came out really good! I did cut back on the chicken stock and added heavy cream to help thicken it up! would definitely skip the chicken stock all together next time.

      If using condensed cream of chicken does the 21 oz included the added water. Or is it 21 oz of condensed soup?

        This particular recipe has you use the cream of chicken but add no additional water, other than the chicken broth listed in the recipe. Thanks for asking!

      I was in a hurry and accidentally put the peas and corn in at the beginning… will it make any difference on g
      how it turns out in the end result??

        Good question Natasha! Those veggies don’t really need to do more than warm up so the main reason they’re added in at the end is so avoid them being mushier. But it shouldn’t hurt your meal!

      My son made this while I was visiting and it’s SO good! I had to have the recipe. I’m curious if you’ve ever tried it in an instant pot and if so how long? Since my kids are grown/gone, I’ve gotten really bad at preparing in time for the crockpot.
      Thanks so much for sharing this recipe! It’s easy and delicious!

        That’s really neat, Stacey! Thank you for sharing that. Using your Instant Pot to prepare this is a great idea! I haven’t tested it but I love how my cake mix turns out in it. I think the key is deciding if you’re going to cook it in the gravy or if you’ll cook them in a pan insert sitting on the trivet. If you try it, let me know!

      Can you cook this with frozen chicken breast? Or should I thaw first?

        Hi Lara, great question! You can use a frozen chicken breast but then I would recommend for sure using the low and slow method to give it time. You also have to consider the extra liquid it’ll add to your meal so stir it up and keep an eye on it.

      This came out like soup. I even tried adding a flour slurry to thicken it and it was still too watery. The flavor was nice, but I definitely recommend that you leave out the chicken stock in hopes that it will be thicker. It also makes A LOT! I I would say 8 very large servings, so cut the recipe in half if you have a small family and don’t want to eat this all week. I’m going to try to thicken the leftovers and put them in an actual pie shell. I didn’t love the biscuit with the filling, but that may just be because it was too watery.

        This makes 8 servings and so divide up your pan 8 ways!
