How to Make Crock Pot Chicken Pot Pie

This Crock Pot Chicken Pot Pie is one of those rare recipes that tastes like you spent hours in the kitchen—but really, your slow cooker did all the heavy lifting. It’s creamy, flavorful, and the kind of dinner that makes your house smell like pure comfort. Whether you’re feeding your family or meal-prepping for the week, this set-it-and-forget-it recipe will quickly become part of your regular rotation.

Let’s break it down step by step so you can create the perfect slow-cooked masterpiece every time.

Step 1: Layer the Base

Start by placing your chicken in the bottom of your Crock Pot. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts work great, but if you prefer juicier meat, chicken thighs are your secret weapon. (Pro tip: there’s no need to chop the chicken beforehand—it’ll shred beautifully once cooked.)

Step 2: Season with Love

Sprinkle on garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. This trio of spices builds a comforting, savory base that enhances every bite. You can also toss in a pinch of thyme or rosemary if you want to channel a little “Sunday dinner at Grandma’s” energy.

Step 3: Add the Creamy Goodness

Now for the magic—add both the cream of chicken and cream of celery soup. These create that rich, velvety texture we all crave in pot pie filling. Pour in your frozen mixed vegetables next (no need to thaw them first!). Give everything a gentle stir so the flavors start mingling together.

Step 4: Slow Cook to Perfection

Cover your Crock Pot and let it work its magic. Cook on LOW for 6–8 hours or HIGH for 4–6 hours, depending on your schedule. During this time, your chicken will turn tender, your veggies will soak up all that creamy flavor, and your kitchen will smell like comfort itself.

Step 5: Biscuit Time!

About 20 minutes before you’re ready to eat, pop your refrigerated buttermilk biscuits in the oven. They’ll bake to golden, buttery perfection—ready to soak up all that creamy filling. If you’re feeling fancy, brush them with melted butter and a sprinkle of garlic powder before baking.

Step 6: Shred and Stir

Once your chicken is tender, shred it right in the Crock Pot using two forks. Give everything a good stir so that the meat, veggies, and creamy sauce come together like a cozy pot pie filling. If you want a little extra indulgence, now’s the time to stir in some shredded cheddar or a splash of cream.

Step 7: Serve and Savor

Scoop the filling into bowls and top each serving with a warm biscuit—or go all in and split the biscuit open, letting that creamy filling seep into every nook and cranny. The result? Pure, spoon-licking satisfaction.

Mounia’s Cozy Cooking Tips

  • Add cheese if you’re feeling indulgent. Stir in shredded cheddar at the end for extra richness.
  • Want more veggies? Toss in extra corn, green beans, or diced potatoes.
  • Make it ahead: This reheats beautifully, so it’s perfect for meal prep or leftovers.
  • Shortcut idea: If you’re running late, use rotisserie chicken—just reduce the cook time and let the flavors mingle on LOW for an hour or two.

(P.S. If your sauce looks too thick, splash in a bit of chicken broth—it’s not a mistake, it’s just extra comfort waiting to happen!)

FAQs About Crock Pot Chicken Pot Pie

Can I use chicken thighs instead of breasts?

Absolutely! Thighs stay juicy and flavorful—my personal favorite for slow cooking.

Yes! Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. Just reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.

Can I add potatoes?

Of course. Dice them small so they cook through—you’ll get an even heartier version of this comfort classic.

Refrigerated buttermilk biscuits are perfect, but homemade works too if you’re feeling fancy (or ambitious).

  • 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup

  • 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of celery soup

  • 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, green beans)

  2. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.

  3. Add the cream of chicken soup, cream of celery soup, and frozen mixed vegetables. Stir gently to combine.

  4. Cover and cook on LOW for 6–8 hours or HIGH for 4–6 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.

  5. Near the end of the cook time, bake the buttermilk biscuits according to the package directions.

  6. Shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker using two forks, then stir everything together until creamy and well combined.

  7. To serve, spoon the chicken pot pie filling into bowls and top with a warm biscuit (or split a biscuit and spoon the filling over the top). Garnish with shredded cheddar and fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

Thighs stay extra juicy in the slow cooker, but chicken breasts work great too.
If the mixture is thicker than you like, stir in a splash of chicken broth or milk after shredding the chicken.
Want it cheesier? Stir in 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar at the end.
Leftovers keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Store biscuits separately so they don’t get soggy.
Freezer tip: The filling (without biscuits) freezes well for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave.
