Best Crockpot Chicken Pot Pie Recipe

Experience a warm, hearty bowl of slow-cooked chicken and vegetables, delicately simmered in a creamy broth enriched with aromatic garlic, onion, thyme, and rosemary. Fresh carrots, celery, potatoes, and peas create a delightful texture, topped with a soft, golden biscuit that soaks up every ounce of savory goodness. Truly irresistible.

I’ve been making this crockpot chicken pot pie for a while now and it never fails to impress. This recipe packs full of tender chicken breasts seasoned with salt and pepper, hearty vegetables like carrots, celery, and a diced onion, plus cubed potatoes that soak up all the flavors.

Adding minced garlic and a can of cream of chicken soup helps to build a creamy gravy that ties the dish together. I also mix in chicken broth, milk, and frozen peas to make the sauce silky and comforting.

The dried thyme and rosemary give it that herby kick you would expect from a real chicken pot pie recipe. When it’s done, I top it off with a tube of refrigerated biscuit dough that bakes into fluffy biscuits right on top.

It’s a simple, nutritional meal that is a perfect example of an easy crockpot dinner that feels like home cooking.

Why I Like this Recipe

I also dig how simple it is to make – I just toss everything in the crockpot and let it do its thing, which saves me a ton of time. Plus, the biscuit on top is awesome; it’s like having a little side of fluffy bread with every bite that makes the meal extra special.

FAQ

Best Crockpot Chicken Pot Pie Recipe Substitutions and Variations

• Chicken: Instead of boneless chicken breasts, you could try using turkey breast or leftover rotisserie chicken for a different twist
• Cream of chicken soup: If you dont have cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom or cream of celery soup works great too
• Chicken broth: If youre out of chicken broth, you can substitute vegetable broth for a lighter flavor
• Potatoes: You can swap out diced potatoes with sweet potatoes or parsnips if you want a slightly sweeter taste
• Biscuit dough: If you’re not a fan of refrigerated biscuits, puff pastry or even a homemade pie crust gives a nice flaky finish

Pro Tips

1. If you have a few extra minutes, try searing the chicken in a hot skillet before putting it in the crockpot; it’ll lock in flavour and add a bit of texture that makes the dish way better.
2. Stir the soup mixture really well before you add it so you don’t get any clumps; a smooth sauce makes every bite more even and tasty.
3. Keep a close eye on the biscuit dough when you add it on top near the end because every crockpot is different and you may need to adjust the time to make sure they get fluffy instead of soggy.
4. Taste the dish at the end and adjust the seasoning if you need to, sometimes a little more salt or pepper can really brighten up the whole meal.
