Crock Pot Chicken Pot Pie is just 10 minutes to prep and comes out thick, rich and delicious, with juicy chicken pieces, tender veggies, a creamy gravy and fluffy biscuits to serve with it.

I’ve been playing with this recipe for months now to get it just right.

Basically, my original healthy chicken pot pie (with a biscuit topping) is so damn good that I had to keep working to get a slow cooker version that could stand up to it.

Several versions that I tried and tinkered with were just a little flat on flavor or a bit watered down tasting. (The occasional downside to slow cooker recipes.)

But I was persistent and kept at it.

And it was worth it. Today’s recipe is a serious winner.

It’s thick and rich, with really deep flavor.

We’ve got a killer combination of the creamy soup, gravy mixture, a bit of milk and just the right amount of seasonings. Plus a cornstarch slurry at the end is going to thicken this up just right.

And the chicken stays juicy, the veggies get tender and everything is just married together beautifully.

It’s going to be a comfort food winner for sure!

Plus, it takes just 10 minutes to prep to get it going, which is great for an easy slow cooker recipe that you can put together at lunchtime or in the early afternoon.

Then, just bake the biscuits, chop the chicken and you’re ready for dinner! 

So let’s get cooking.

Now, I’ve got some notes, tips and substitutions coming up below on how to make chicken pot pie in the crock pot. Just tryin’ to be helpful.

If you want to jump on down to the recipe, simply scroll right on through the rest of the text. The recipe card is near the bottom of the page, above the comments section.

Ingredient Notes:

  • Chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts work great here. You could also use a mix of breasts and thighs if you like.
  • Veggies: The frozen veggie mix I use is peas, carrots, corn and green beans. Get your favorite mix. And it can go in frozen, no worries.
  • Soup: The cream of chicken soup really helps with the consistency and flavor. You could also use a cream of mushroom or cream of celery soup if you prefer.
  • Milk: It’s fine to use skim milk or you could use 2% or whole milk for a richer flavor.
  • Gravy mix: I prefer the chicken gravy packet over a brown gravy for this recipe.
  • Cornstarch: We make a quick and easy cornstarch slurry at the end of the cook time, while cutting the chicken, to help thicken the gravy for this pot pie. I’ve skipped that step and the flavor was still good, but I prefer the thicker gravy for consistency.

OK, so as I’ve mentioned, I’ve tested and re-tested and tweaked this recipe to try it a number of different ways.

And I have some tips to share on different options you can try - or avoid - so you have success from the get go.

Tips and Tricks:

  • Chicken - I prefer leaving the breasts whole while they cook in the crock pot and chopping them after. It keeps them juicier. I also prefer chopping and not shredding for a heartier feel. (I’ve tried all the ways.)
  • Cornstarch slurry - Once the cook time is up, remove the chicken breasts to your cutting board to chop. Then go ahead and mix and add in the cornstarch slurry to the sauce and veggies in the slow cooker insert. Leave it uncovered and continue to cook on either low or high (whatever you had the recipe set on already) while you chop the chicken. It just needs a few minutes to work its magic. Then add the chicken back in.
  • Let it sit - Once you return the chicken to the slow cooker, let everything sit together for 5-10 minutes. It helps the chicken soak in all those flavors.
  • Bake the biscuits - These bake separately, not in the slow cooker, so plan accordingly to have them hot and ready when you are ready to serve. Feel free to use any style of biscuits you like (or make your own homemade biscuits)!

Last thing, let's talk about what to do with any leftovers.

Leftover chicken pot pie, once cooled, can be stored in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days.

Reheat on the stove or in the microwave until warmed through. (And be sure to store the biscuits separately so they don't get soggy.)

You can also freeze leftovers in a freezer-safe ziplock bag or container. Label and date it and freeze for up to 4-5 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before warming through when ready to serve.

So there you have it, you can totally make crock pot chicken pot pie that’s as delicious as an original baked version. 

And if you need some other comfort food favorites, try my mom’s chicken divan or this chicken and dumplings. So very cozy.

Or if the slow cooker is your BFF, check out slow cooker cream cheese chicken and crock pot crack chicken for some more delicious dinner ideas.

Wishing you all the yummy, warm and comforting foods this fall.

Enjoy!

Kathryn
