Simplify Chicken Pot Pie by using your slow cooker! Make Crock Pot Chicken Pot Pie with minimal effort. Great easy dinner for a busy weeknight!

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!

WATCH THIS QUICK TUTORIAL TO SEE HOW EASY IT IS TO MAKE CROCK POT CHICKEN POT PIE!

 

HOW TO MAKE EASY 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!

STEP 1

Place 4 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 mixture on top of chicken, cover and cook on low for 8 hours or cook on high for 4 hours.

STEP 2

Thirty minutes before cook 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.

STEP 3

Bake the biscuits in the oven according package directions during the remaining 10 minutes. Scoop the filling into a bowl and place a baked biscuit on top. Dinner is served!

RECIPE NOTES

  • Chicken broth and chicken stock can be used interchangeably in this recipe.
  • If you have the time, I always recommend going LOW and SLOW!
  • 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 peas and corn with different frozen veggies, if desired!
  • Use chicken thighs in place of breasts (go boneless!) if you’re wanting more of a dark meat pot pie.

CAN I USE SHREDDED MEAT FROM A ROTISSERIE CHICKEN?

Yes! 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!

HOW TO REHEAT CHICKEN POT PIE

If you want to reheat leftovers, you can do so right in the crock pot! Cook on low heat for 30 minutes, or until completely heated through. Stir once halfway through!

Another option would be to scoop individual servings into a bowl and reheat for 1 to 2 minutes in the microwave until heated through.

WHAT TO SERVE WITH CROCK POT CHICKEN POT PIE

Consider making one of these delicious sides to accompany your pot pie!

  • Roasted Parmesan Green Beans
  • Vegetable Rice Summer Salad
  • Roasted Sweet Potatoes
  • Roasted Butternut Squash and Apples
  • Cauliflower Mushroom Rice

    This is an excellent recipe when you’re looking for something comforting and simple. It takes almost no time to dump the ingredients in the slow cooker and then bake up some biscuits just before serving.

    We had this tonight for dinner and we have a bunch left over. Can we freeze the leftovers? Thank you! So yummy!!

      Yes! This will freeze well, just don’t recommend any bread placed in the same container. Either separate the bread or make new biscuits when it’s time to reheat it. I recommend reheating the leftovers in a covered dish on low heat in the oven or on the stovetop.

    Hi! Can I make this early and reheat or leave on low in crock pot? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

      You most definitely could prepare this and reheat it later back in the crockpot. Since you add the biscuits just before serving, it won’t impact them and the chicken, gravy and vegetables will taste just as good later. Enjoy!

    I made this yesterday and it was very good. It is perfect because my 11 year old loves the insides of chicken pot pie but not the crust 🙂 This is sort of like a stew, we just ate toast with it and didn’t put biscuits on top. I also used a bag of frozen mixed veggies (carrots, peas, corn, green beans) because that’s what I had. So, I didn’t put fresh carrots in. Oh, and I didn’t have fresh parsley so used dried. My son ate two bowls full 🙂

      That’s interesting that your 11 YO doesn’t like the crust! But the inside is very good too. I’m glad you tweaked it with what you had on hand and how your family likes it. I’ve also used puff pastries on the side, it works great too!

      Hi Tyra, You are still slow cooking chicken so it would be at least a couple of hours to cook, so keep your eye on the chicken. You’ll be able to tell when you cut into it or it shreds easily, there won’t be any pink or gel like color in the middle. Enjoy the meal!

    Sounds awesome! I’d love to know if you’ve tried an alternative to the cream of chicken soup, we are dairy free. Would love your suggestions!

      Hi Brittnei, I haven’t tried creating dairy free options but I know there are so many wonderful bloggers out there who have done the hard work for us. Here’s just one I found – I hope this helps and that you love the recipe! Thanks for asking the question!

    I just made this recipe for my husband’s birthday, and we both thought it was great!! So wonderful to be able to make this with the option for gluten free because the bread is on the side.

    I ended up finding condensed cream of chicken soup at the grocery store. To "uncondense" it, the soup called for an extra can of water. Instead of water, I poured my extra chicken stock instead. It was tasty with all that rich flavor!! I liked having it a little more juicy so the biscuits could soak up some of the extra broth. I think the next time I make it, I want to try to "uncondense" just one of the cream of chicken soups to see what it’s like a little thicker.
    This is the beauty of sharing recipes!

      I make this for my family on a regular basis, I played around with the recipe and family loves it! The only tweek that I’ve added to the recipe is 1 jar of gravy that I stir in just before serving.
      I freeze the leftovers in quart sized freezer bags. When ready to use frozen cpp mixture I thaw in bag and transfer to a pie crust. Bake until golden and it makes the most amazing homemade chicken pot pie too.

    Is it 2 breasts that you cut in half to make 4 pieces, or is it 4 breasts?

      I’m sorry that it was confusing – thanks for asking for clarification. It’s 4 chicken breasts, all cut in half!

    Tried this recipe yesterday, here is what I think: overall it was decent, but by no means "best". I absolutely loathe the oregano in it as it overpowers the flavor completely. If I try it again it will be without oregano. If you plan inn doing the 4 hour crockpot on high keep inn mind the carrots will not be soft. Suggest cooking them slightly first. I would add potatoes to it also, and I thickened I think up a bit at the end with startch. Overall not bad, not my favorite.
