Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Vegetables
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- 3 cups frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, green beans)
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Liquids and Seasonings
- 1 (10.5-ounce) can cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Optional Thickener
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (optional, for thickening)
Biscuit Topping and Garnish
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (or homemade biscuits)
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Place the chicken, frozen mixed vegetables, chopped onion, minced garlic, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, heavy cream, dried thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper into a 6-quart slow cooker. Stir everything together to evenly distribute the ingredients.
- Slow Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 6 to 7 hours, or on high heat for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked through and tender enough to shred easily.
- Shred Chicken: Remove the chicken pieces from the slow cooker and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir to combine with the creamy vegetable mixture.
- Thicken the Filling (Optional): If you prefer a thicker filling, stir in the cornstarch slurry (cornstarch mixed with water) and cook on high for an additional 15 to 20 minutes until the filling thickens.
- Bake Biscuits: While the filling thickens, bake the refrigerated biscuit dough according to the package directions until golden and cooked through.
- Serve: Scoop the creamy chicken pot pie filling into bowls and top each portion with warm biscuits. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately for a comforting meal.
Notes
- For extra flavor, sear the chicken in a hot pan before adding it to the crockpot to develop a richer taste.
- You can substitute cooked rotisserie chicken to shorten cooking time; reduce slow cooking accordingly.
- Add a splash of white wine to the base mixture for deeper flavor complexity.
- Adjust seasoning to taste, and use low-sodium broth to control salt levels.
- If preferred, homemade biscuits can be used instead of refrigerated dough for a fresher biscuit topping.
