How To Make Chicken Pot Pie In A Crock Pot

Prepare the chicken: Pat the chicken breast dry with a paper towel and remove any excess fat. Place the chicken at the bottom of your slow cooker, then pour the chicken broth on top. Sprinkle in the dried seasonings.

Assemble the slow cooker chicken pie filling: Pour the cream of chicken soup over top of the chicken, broth, and spices, then add the potatoes, garlic, and frozen mixed vegetables.

Cover and cook: Place the lid on top and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours or until the chicken is fully cooked through.

Shred and top: Carefully remove the chicken and shred it with two forks. Add it back to the slow cooker along with the sour cream. Mix until well combined.

Add biscuits: Bake the biscuits according to the instructions on the package. Place them on top of the chicken mixture or plate and serve with biscuits on top. Serve while hot and enjoy!

Recipe Tips

  • If you don’t have low-sodium chicken broth, you can use regular chicken broth and reduce the amount of salt used in the recipe.
  • When dicing the potatoes, make sure they are all roughly the same size to ensure even cooking.
  • You can also use frozen diced potatoes instead of Yukon gold potatoes.
  • I recommend using a frozen vegetable mix that has peas, carrots, corn, and green beans for the best flavor and texture.
  • If you don’t have fresh garlic, you can use garlic powder instead.
  • The chicken is fully cooked through when the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.

Variations

  • Prepare crockpot chicken pot pie with Bisquick by crafting your own biscuits using a Bisquick mix.
  • To make this recipe gluten-free, you can use a gluten-free biscuit mix or make your own biscuits using a gluten-free flour blend.
  • Add other types of vegetables to the mix, including diced celery, green beans, or mushrooms.
  • If you want a more cheesy flavor, you can add shredded cheddar cheese to the mixture before serving.
  • Instead of chicken breasts, try using boneless, skinless chicken thighs.
  • Take a shortcut and use pre-cooked shredded chicken. Lower the cooking time to HIGH for just two hours or on LOW for four hours.
  • Try out other toppings, such as puff pastry or pie crust in place of the biscuits.

Storing & Freezing

Storing: Cooled crock pot chicken pot leftovers can be stored in individual airtight containers in the fridge for up to five days. You will want to store the biscuits separately.

Freezing: You can also freeze this dish for later by storing it in a freezer-safe baking dish for up to three months. When you’re ready to eat, thaw it overnight in the fridge, then reheat it on the stove or microwave until warmed.

Reheating: To reheat, simply place individual servings in the microwave and heat until warmed through. You can also reheat on the stove over low heat until warmed through.

FAQ

Yes, you can! Just add an extra hour or two to the cooking time.

Can I make crock pot chicken pot pie ahead of time?

You can assemble the ingredients for the chicken pot pie right in the crock pot and keep it in your fridge for 48 hours before cooking.

    So I thought the sour cream was left off the recipe on accident and I added it in with the other stuff to cook is it going to mess it up?

    Reply

    • Ryan Allen

      It won't mess it up. But because it is a dairy product it can separate during the cooking process so it is not as creamy.

        UPDATE! I used my instant pot and set it for manual pressure, high for 30 minutes. It came out pretty good! I may try 25 minutes or layer it differently next time as the chicken seared a bit on the bottom and the veggies were a little soft. Overall, it was a success though!

Easy Crock Pot Chicken Pot Pie Recipe (2024)

FAQs

What is the sauce made of in chicken pot pie? ›

The sauce in chicken pot pie is typically a gravy. I use a seasoned white gravy made from scratch with flavor-building ingredients, chicken broth, and half-and-half.

How do you keep the bottom crust of a chicken pot pie from getting soggy? ›

Brush the Bottom with Corn Syrup or Egg White

Coating the inside surface of the bottom crust will create a barrier to prevent sogginess.

Can you put frozen chicken in crock pot? ›

Information. It is best to thaw meat or poultry before putting it into a slow cooker. Frozen pieces will take longer to reach a safe internal temperature and could possibly result in foodborne illness. Frozen or partially frozen foods can also cool everything else in the slow cooker.

Why do you not use a bottom crust on chicken pot pie? ›

I only gave my pot pie a top crust, because I feel like the bottom crust always gets soggy. If you do want to add a bottom crust, I suggest blind baking it. What does blind baking mean? It's when you bake your pie crust without a filling in order to crisp it up.

How do you thicken chicken pot pie filling? ›

Unfortunately, the filling relies on flour for thickening. However, you can substitute it to make it truly gluten free a few ways. You can dissolve cornstarch in the COLD milk before pouring it into the skillet. You can use a one-for-one gluten free flour substitution, or you can use arrowroot!

Should I bake the bottom pie crust first? ›

But the one surefire way to make certain your pie's crust will be golden brown, crisp, and delicious — just as appealing as its filling — is to prebake it. That's right: bake the bottom crust first, before adding the filling.

What is the best thickener for pie filling? ›

Very often flour or cornstarch is used, but in certain instances tapioca, arrowroot and potato starch can also help achieve the desired consistency. Tapioca starch is preferable for products that will be frozen because it will not break down when thawed. We like tapioca in blueberry, cherry or peach pies.

Why did my chicken pot pie come out watery? ›

A watery potpie may be the result of not cooking the filling for long enough or adding too much liquid to the filling. Another possible reason for the pie being watery is if you add watery vegetables like spinach or green beans to the filling rather than potatoes or carrots, which soak up liquid.

Should you poke holes in bottom of pie crust? ›

With docking, the holes allow steam to escape, so the crust should stay flat against the baking dish when it isn't held down by pie weights or a filling. Otherwise the crust can puff up, not only impacting appearance but also leaving you with less space for whatever filling you have planned.

How do you know when the bottom pie crust is done? ›

If you need a fully baked pie crust, bake until the bottom crust is golden brown, about 14–15 minutes longer. For a partially baked pie crust (if you're baking the pie once it is filled, like a quiche), bake until the bottom crust is just beginning to brown, about 7–8 minutes.

How long does it take for chicken to cook in the crockpot? ›

Sprinkle the chicken breasts with plenty of salt and pepper. Cover your crock pot and cook chicken breasts on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. Chicken is done when the internal temp reaches 165 degrees F. Use chicken in your favorite recipes.

Should frozen chicken be on high or low in crock pot? ›

directions
  1. Spray inside of crock pot with cooking spray.
  2. Rinse chicken and place in cooker.
  3. Mix chicken gravy with water and wine.
  4. Pour over chicken.
  5. Cook on low approximately 6 hours.
  6. About 1 1/2 hours before end of cooking time add carrots and onions.

Can you cook frozen chicken in crock pot without liquid? ›

The instruction manual for Crock-Pot's 3.5-quart slow cooker not only advises increasing the cooking time when using frozen chicken, but also recommends adding 1 cup of warm liquid to "act as a cushion to prevent sudden temperature changes."

What is pan pan sauce? ›

Pan sauces, as the name suggests, are made in the exact same pan you've used to sauté shrimp, sear a steak, or brown some onions. After cooking your meat, fish, or vegetables, those little leftover particles stuck to your pan's bottom—called the fond—transform into a silk smooth sauce in a process called deglazing.

How do you thicken pot pie sauce? ›

If for some reason your sauce is not as thick as you want it to be, you can always use cornstarch as a thickener. Start with about a tablespoon, and dissolve it in a bit of water, and add it to the sauce. Cook over medium heat until your sauce begins to quickly thicken.

How do you thicken chicken pie sauce? ›

Just let it simmer for a few minutes until it thickens. But if you've already added the broth and realize it's too thin, you can always make a slurry to stir in. Stir a tablespoon of cornstarch into 2 tablespoons of cold water and add it to your filling mixture to thicken it.

What makes a pot pie a pot pie? ›

Today's Classics. Today's classic pot pies have a pie crust bottom and a flaky pastry top. They can be filled with just about anything, but classic fillings are made from things like chicken and beef, though some may also be made from seafood and poultry.
