Ingredients
For the Pot Pie Filling:
-
1 ½ lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
-
3 cups mixed frozen vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, green beans)
-
1 cup diced potatoes (peeled, optional)
-
1 small onion, chopped
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 tsp salt
-
½ tsp black pepper
-
1 tsp dried thyme or poultry seasoning
-
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
-
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
-
½ cup heavy cream or milk
For Serving:
-
Store-bought biscuits or puff pastry, baked separately
-
Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Place chicken, frozen vegetables, diced potatoes, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, and thyme in the slow cooker.
Add the cream of chicken soup and chicken broth.
Stir to combine slightly (don’t worry if it’s not perfectly mixed).
Step 2: Slow Cook Until Tender
Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
Step 3: Shred the Chicken
Remove the chicken and shred it using two forks.
Return shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir to mix.
Step 4: Add Cream & Thicken
Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine.
If you’d like the sauce thicker, mix 1 tbsp cornstarch with 2 tbsp cold water and stir into the pot. Cook on high for another 15–20 minutes until thickened.
Step 5: Serve with Biscuits or Puff Pastry
Spoon the creamy chicken filling into bowls and top with warm biscuits or puff pastry squares.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and enjoy hot.
Notes
Use Chicken Thighs – For extra tender and flavorful meat.
Don’t Skip the Cream – It adds richness and silkiness to the filling.
Prep Ahead – Dice veggies and chicken the night before for a quicker morning start.
Cook Biscuits Separately – Keeps them crispy and avoids sogginess.
Make it Thicker – Use less broth or more cornstarch if you prefer a thicker consistency.
