How to make Crock Pot Chicken Pot Pie:

First place everything in the crock pot except the biscuits.

Then cover and cook on low all day in your favorite crock pot (usually for 8-10 hours).  You can also cook on high for 4-6 hours if you need dinner on the table quicker.

Next remove the chicken and shred.  Add the chop chicken back into the crock pot and stir to combine this chicken with the other ingredients.

Towards the end of the cook time of this great recipe, bake the biscuits and serve a biscuit on top of each bowl when serving.  I like using the refrigerated biscuits as it’s easier than having to create a pie crust!  I’m all about saving time in the kitchen.

It is delicious and very easy!

This recipe is so easy to make but simply tastes delicious. It has the comfort food of a chicken pot pie without all the work of actually making a pie.

Variations

You can use your favorite type of biscuits for the topping.  I usually use the large ones that are on sale.  I recommend that you use your favorite kind!

You can make crock pot chicken pot pie bisquick by making your own biscuits from a biquick mix.

Also, if you love creamy chicken pot pie, you can mix in heavy cream instead of the milk.  I would not add it in the crock pot until the last hour of the cook time.

Another quick variation to this recipe is to use vegetables that you love.  If you do not love carrots, celery, corn or peas then you can definitely leave them out and add in your favorite instead.  I have made this recipe with green beans before and it was delicious!

Use chicken thighs – Chicken chicken thighs would also be delicious in this recipe.

How to thicken chicken pot pie in crock pot

If your chicken pot pie recipe is not as thick as you would prefer after the cooking time, you can easily thicken the sauce right in your crock pot.

My favorite way to thicken sauces in my recipes is by creating a corn starch slurry and adding it to my crock pot.

To make this cornstarch slurry, I mix ¼ cup of corn starch with 1 cup of cold water or chicken broth until the corn starch is completely dissolved.  Then I add this mixture to the crock pot and cook on high for 30 minutes until the sauce is the consistency that I want for this recipe.

You can also follow this same process with flour instead of corn starch if you prefer.

Why does my Chicken Pot Pie get Watery:

If you chicken mixture is bit watery it is possible that it not done cooking. The chicken pot pie ingredients need time to set up and create a thick filling. If you find that your is getting to dark or burning, place a piece of foil over the top.

Can I use Fresh Vegetables?

Yes, you can use fresh vegetables. This is a great recipe to add any leftover vegetables that you need to use. We normally use frozen veggies, but fresh work just as great.

Can I use Leftover Rotisserie Chicken?

Yes, you can use leftover rotisserie chicken. Use 3 cups of leftover rotisserie and add to the crock pot. This recipe is great to use any type of leftover chicken.

How to freeze chicken pot pie

This recipe is VERY freezer friendly.

To make freezer crock pot chicken pot pie, all you have to do is toss all the ingredients except the potatoes in a freezer bag. (potatoes do not freeze well uncooked). Then freeze the pot pie.

Next I just toss the freezer bag of ingredients into a crockpot, add your potatoes and cook like normal.

If you want to freeze the potatoes, then substitute diced hash browns for the potatoes and you will still get the same delicious meal and it will be frozen ready to cook.

Freezing it ahead of time really saves you money in the long run. All you have to do is toss it in the crockpot in the morning. Done!
