Crock Pot Chicken Pot Pie Ingredients

• 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• 1 cup diced carrots
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 1 cup diced celery
• ½ cup diced onion
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of chicken soup
• ½ cup heavy cream or whole milk
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons cold water
• 1 package refrigerated biscuits, for serving

How to Make Crock Pot Chicken Pot Pie

Step 1: Season and Add the Chicken

Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, and parsley. Place the seasoned chicken in the bottom of the crock pot, then add the diced carrots, celery, and onion around it.

Step 2: Add the Creamy Sauce

In a bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, and heavy cream until smooth. Pour the mixture over the chicken and vegetables, then add the butter. Cover the crock pot with the lid.

Step 3: Slow Cook

Cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or on HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked. Try not to open the lid while it cooks because this lets heat escape and can make the cooking time longer.

Step 4: Shred the Chicken

Carefully remove the cooked chicken and place it on a cutting board. Use two forks to shred it into small pieces. Return the shredded chicken to the crock pot and gently stir it into the creamy vegetable mixture.

Step 5: Thicken and Add the Peas

Mix the cornstarch with cold water in a small bowl until smooth. Stir this mixture into the crock pot to help thicken the sauce. Add the frozen peas and let everything cook for another 15–20 minutes, until the sauce is creamy and the peas are heated through.

Step 6: Serve with Biscuits

Prepare the refrigerated biscuits according to the package directions. Spoon the creamy chicken and vegetable filling into bowls and serve with warm, golden biscuits on the side. The biscuits are perfect for dipping into the rich sauce.

Tips and Shortcuts

• Prepare Everything Ahead – Chop the vegetables and measure the seasonings the night before. Store them in the refrigerator so the crock pot is quick to assemble the next day.
• Add Peas at the End – Stir in frozen peas during the last 15–20 minutes so they stay bright and do not become too soft.

How to Store Leftovers

Refrigerator Storage

Store the leftover chicken pot pie filling in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days. When ready to eat, reheat it gently in the microwave or in a saucepan over medium-low heat until heated through. Add a fresh warm biscuit on top or serve it on the side.

Freezer Storage

For longer storage, place the cooled chicken pot pie filling in a freezer-safe container or freezer bag. Remove as much extra air as possible and freeze for up to 2–3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator, then reheat until hot. For the best texture, prepare fresh biscuits when serving instead of freezing them with the filling.
