Crock Pot Chicken Pot Pie
A comforting and hearty dish that transforms a classic favorite into an easy, slow-cooked creation, featuring tender chicken and a creamy filling beneath fluffy biscuit dough.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1.5 to 2 lbs chicken breast or thighs Tender, juicy chicken forms the backbone of your pot pie.
- 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables A colorful medley of carrots, peas, and corn adds flavor and nutrition.
- 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup This provides a rich, creamy base that binds all the flavors together.
- 1 cup milk Adds creaminess and helps achieve the right consistency in your filling.
Biscuit Topping Ingredients
- 2 cups Bisquick or biscuit mix The key to fluffy, golden topping.
- 1/2 cup butter For richness, combined with Bisquick for irresistible biscuit topping.
- 2-3 tablespoons milk Optional, to adjust biscuit dough consistency.
Seasonings
- 1 teaspoon salt Essential for bringing out the flavors.
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper A pinch for subtle heat.
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder For an aromatic touch.
- 1/2 teaspoon thyme A classic herb that complements the chicken delightfully.
Instructions
Preparation
- Start by cutting the chicken into bite-sized pieces and gathering your frozen mixed vegetables.
Mixing the Base
- In your slow cooker, combine the cut chicken, mixed vegetables, condensed cream of chicken soup, and milk.
- Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and thyme. Stir gently to combine all the flavors harmoniously.
Slow Cooking the Filling
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 5 to 6 hours.
Preparing the Biscuit Topping
- In a separate bowl, mix the Bisquick with melted butter. If the mixture appears too dry, add a bit of milk until you form a soft dough.
Adding Biscuit Dough
- Once the filling is done cooking, drop spoonfuls of the biscuit mixture over the filling.
- It’s okay if it’s not even – it will spread and puff up beautifully.
Final Cooking
- Cover the slow cooker again and cook for an additional 30 to 45 minutes until the topping turns golden and fluffy.
Serving
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley or thyme for a touch of color and flavor.
Notes
Consider sautéing some onions and garlic for more flavor. Feel free to use fresh vegetables or other herbs like rosemary or sage. For a cheesy biscuit topping, add shredded cheese, and for a kick, toss in cayenne pepper.
