Ingredients for Easy Slow Cooker Chicken Pot Pie

- 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (such as Pillsbury Grands!)
- Nonstick cooking spray
Directions: How to Make Easy Slow Cooker Chicken Pot Pie
Step 1: Prepare the Slow Cooker
Spray your slow cooker insert with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Layer the Ingredients
- Add diced onion, minced garlic, and frozen mixed vegetables to the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Place chicken breasts on top of the vegetables. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, dried thyme, and parsley.
- Pour in cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, and heavy cream. Do not stir—let the flavors meld during cooking.
Step 3: Cook the Filling
- Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3 ½-4 hours, until chicken is tender and easy to shred. (Total time: 6-7 hours on low, 3.5-4 hours on high.)
Step 4: Shred the Chicken & Thicken the Sauce
- Carefully remove cooked chicken breasts, shred them using two forks, then return to the slow cooker and stir well.
Step 5: Add Biscuit Topping
- Cut biscuit dough into quarters. Arrange evenly on top of the shredded chicken mixture in the slow cooker.
- Cover and cook on high for 1 hour or until the biscuits are puffed and cooked through. (For a perfectly golden finish, you can also transfer the filling to a baking dish, top with biscuits, and broil in the oven just until browned.)
Notes: Tips for Making Easy Slow Cooker Chicken Pot Pie
- If you prefer homemade cream of chicken soup, check out this Simply Recipes guide.
- For a thicker sauce, stir in a cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoon water) after shredding the chicken, if desired.
- Don’t overfill the slow cooker with biscuits—cook extras separately on a baking sheet for best texture.

Variations: Easy Slow Cooker Chicken Pot Pie Twists
- Turkey Pot Pie: Swap in cooked, shredded turkey (great for leftovers!).
- Vegetarian: Skip the chicken and use canned chickpeas or more veggies, and sub for vegetarian cream soup and broth.
- Mini Pot Pies: Scoop the filling into oven-safe ramekins, top each with a biscuit, and broil for a personal-size serving.

Serving Recommendations for Easy Slow Cooker Chicken Pot Pie

Pro Tips for the Best Easy Slow Cooker Chicken Pot Pie

FAQ: Easy Slow Cooker Chicken Pot Pie
- Can I use rotisserie chicken?
Yes! Stir in about 3 cups of shredded rotisserie chicken after the sauce and veggies have cooked—reduce overall cook time to 3-4 hours on low. - Can I make this ahead?
Absolutely. Prep all ingredients the night before (except biscuits), refrigerate, then add biscuits an hour before serving. - Can I freeze leftovers?
You can freeze the filling (without biscuits) in airtight containers for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight, reheat, and top with fresh biscuits when ready to serve.
