How to Make Crock Pot Chicken Pot Pie

- Season: Sprinkle the garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper over the chicken for added flavor.
- Mix in the Sauces: Pour in the cream of chicken soup and cream of celery soup. Gently stir to combine.
- Add Vegetables: Add the frozen mixed vegetables and give everything a gentle stir again.
- Set Cooking Time: Cover the Crock Pot with its lid and cook on LOW for 6–8 hours, or on HIGH for 4–6 hours. This helps the flavors meld beautifully and makes the chicken tender.
- Prepare Biscuits: Near the end of cooking, bake the biscuits according to the package instructions.
- Shred the Chicken: Once the cooking time is up, shred the chicken directly in the pot using two forks, then stir everything together for a creamy, hearty filling.
- Serve: Scoop the delicious chicken pot pie filling into bowls, then top with a warm biscuit or split it open and fill with the mixture. Enjoy your cozy meal!
Serving and Storage Tips
- Serving: Present in deep bowls with a biscuit on top for a rustic look. A sprinkle of shredded cheese or fresh herbs can elevate the dish further.
- Storage: If you have leftovers, place the chicken pot pie mixture in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheating: Simply microwave in a bowl or heat on the stove until warmed through. You can reheat biscuits separately in the oven for a crispy texture.
Helpful Notes
- To add more depth to the flavors, consider sautéing fresh onions or garlic before adding them to the pot.
- If you prefer a thicker filling, you can add a bit of cornstarch mixed with water during the last hour of cooking.
