Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts or Thighs Can be substituted with rotisserie chicken for quicker prep.
- 2 cans Cream of Chicken Soup Adds creaminess and depth; substitute with cream of mushroom for a different flavor.
- 1 can Cream of Celery Soup Enhances the savory profile; can replace with any cream-based soup.
- 12 oz Frozen Mixed Vegetables Offers flavor and nutrition; fresh veggies like carrots or peas work beautifully too.
- 2 teaspoons Garlic Powder Consider using fresh garlic for a bolder taste.
- 2 teaspoons Onion Powder Fresh onions can be sautéed for extra richness.
- 2 teaspoons Black Pepper Adjust to your spice preference.
- 16.3 oz Homestyle Biscuits Can be substituted with puff pastry.
Instructions
Preparation
- In a slow cooker, place the chicken breasts or thighs at the bottom. Add both cans of cream of chicken soup and the cream of celery soup. Stir well to coat the chicken.
- Add the frozen mixed vegetables, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper on top of the mixture.
- Cover the slow cooker and set it to low heat for 6 to 8 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender. If using rotisserie chicken, add it in the last hour of cooking to heat it through.
- About 30 minutes before serving, remove the lid and place the biscuits on top of the mixture. Cover again and let them cook until they are golden brown.
Serving
- Once cooked, serve the Chicken Pot Pie hot. You can scoop out portions into bowls, ensuring some of that delicious biscuit topping is included. This dish pairs well with a simple green salad or steamed broccoli for a complete meal.
Storing
- To store leftovers, let the chicken pot pie cool completely. Transfer it to an airtight container and place it in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for about 3 to 4 days. Reheat individual servings in the microwave or warm it back up in a pot on the stove.
Notes
For a richer flavor, consider browning the chicken briefly in a skillet before placing it in the slow cooker. If you want a thicker sauce, you can add a tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with a little cold water towards the end of the cooking time. Feel free to add herbs like thyme or rosemary to enhance the flavor further.
