Crock Pot Chicken Pot Pie Recipe

If you love the comforting flavors of a classic pot pie but would rather skip the fuss of homemade pastry and hours in the kitchen, you’re in for a treat! This Crock Pot Chicken Pot Pie is my go-to recipe for busy weeknights or lazy Sundays when you want something cozy, hearty, and irresistible. Slow-cooked chicken mingles with creamy soup and colorful veggies, topped off with fluffy, golden biscuits for that nostalgic pot pie experience with a modern, hands-off twist.

Ingredients You’ll Need

The beauty of this recipe is how a handful of easy-to-find staples transform into something truly crave-worthy! Each ingredient brings its own magic—tender chicken, velvety soup, classic veggies, and the all-important biscuits for that iconic pot pie finish.

• 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs): Use chicken breasts for leaner bites, or thighs if you love a bit more richness and flavor in your Crock Pot Chicken Pot Pie.
• 2 (10.5 oz) cans cream of chicken soup: These make the base wonderfully creamy and savory, with plenty of comforting flavor.
• 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of celery soup: Adds subtle depth and rounds out the sauce with herbal, earthy notes.
• 12 oz frozen mixed vegetables: These bring vibrant color and sweet, tender bites to every spoonful—plus, no extra chopping!
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder (divided): Lends a mellow, savory warmth throughout the pot.
• 2 teaspoons onion powder (divided): Bumps up the flavor and ties everything together with that classic, homey taste.
• 2 teaspoons black pepper (divided): Adds gentle heat and brightens up the creamy filling.
• 1 (16.3 oz) can homestyle biscuits (or homemade drop biscuits): The crowning glory! Go with store-bought for ease, or homemade if you feel extra.

How to Make Crock Pot Chicken Pot Pie

Step 1: Prep the Crock Pot and Season the Chicken

Start by giving your crockpot liner a generous spray of non-stick spray—trust me, it makes cleanup a breeze! Lay your chicken breasts evenly across the bottom, then scatter on half of the garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper. This first layer of seasoning ensures every bite of chicken is tasty from the get-go.

Step 2: Layer with Creamy Soups

Spoon both cans of cream of chicken soup and the can of cream of celery soup right on top of the seasoned chicken. These rich, silky soups create that iconic pot pie “gravy” as they slowly meld and simmer together all day.

Step 3: Add the Veggies and More Seasoning

Next, pour the frozen mixed vegetables over the soup layer. Don’t worry about thawing—they’ll cook perfectly in the slow heat. Give the veggies a dusting with the remaining garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper, so every scoop is extra flavorful.

Step 4: Let the Crock Pot Work Its Magic

Pop the lid on and cook everything on low for 6 to 8 hours (or high for 4 to 6 hours), until the chicken is tender and shreds easily. Your kitchen will smell incredible, and the creamy filling gets richer the longer it cooks!

Step 5: Bake Those Biscuits

About 15 to 20 minutes before you’re ready to eat, bake your biscuits according to the package directions. There’s nothing quite like the smell (and taste!) of hot, fluffy biscuits fresh from the oven—perfect for soaking up all that luscious filling.

Step 6: Shred and Stir

A few minutes before the biscuits are ready, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the crockpot. Give everything a good stir to mix in the juicy chicken with all that creamy sauce and veggie goodness.

Step 7: Assemble and Serve

Spoon a generous serving of Crock Pot Chicken Pot Pie filling into bowls, then top with a warm biscuit (or split the biscuits in half and ladle the filling right over for extra coziness). Serve hot and enjoy all the hugs-in-a-bowl comfort!

How to Serve Crock Pot Chicken Pot Pie

Garnishes

For a little extra pop, sprinkle freshly chopped parsley or thyme over each bowl just before serving. A crack of black pepper or even a sprinkle of flaky sea salt never hurts either!

Side Dishes

Crock Pot Chicken Pot Pie is filling and satisfying on its own, but it pairs beautifully with a simple side salad, roasted green beans, or buttery corn on the cob for some extra color and crunch.

Creative Ways to Present

For gatherings or family-style dinners, serve the pot pie filling from the crock directly at the table and let everyone build their own bowl with biscuits on the side. For a fun twist, hollow out mini bread boules and fill them with the pot pie mixture for a playful, edible “pot” everyone will love!

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

If you’re lucky enough to have leftovers, stash the cooled filling in an airtight container in your fridge—it’ll stay happy for up to 3-4 days. Store the biscuits separately to keep them from getting soggy.

Freezing

Crock Pot Chicken Pot Pie filling freezes beautifully! Just cool completely, then transfer to freezer-safe containers or bags. Freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating. Biscuits are best baked fresh, so freeze the filling alone.

Reheating

Gently reheat the pot pie filling on the stovetop over medium-low, stirring occasionally. Add a splash of chicken broth or milk if it looks a bit thick. Warm biscuits in the oven or microwave, and serve together for the perfect leftover meal.

FAQs

Can I use rotisserie chicken instead of raw chicken?

Absolutely! Just shred the cooked rotisserie chicken and add it during the last hour of cooking so it doesn’t dry out. This shortcut makes Crock Pot Chicken Pot Pie even quicker for busy nights.

Can I add fresh vegetables instead of frozen?

Yes, you can swap in fresh carrots, peas, or green beans—just chop them small and add them as you would the frozen veggies. They’ll cook down beautifully in the slow cooker.

What if I don’t have cream of celery soup?

No worries! You can double up on cream of chicken soup or use cream of mushroom instead for another layer of earthy flavor. It’s all about personal taste and what you have on hand.

How do I keep the biscuits from getting soggy?

Always serve the biscuits on top or alongside the filling, rather than baking or cooking them directly in the crockpot. This keeps them perfectly crisp and fluffy, and you get to dunk and scoop just the way you like!

Can I make this recipe gluten-free?

Definitely! Use gluten-free condensed soups (several brands offer them) and swap in gluten-free biscuit dough or make homemade drop biscuits with a gluten-free flour blend.

Final Thoughts

There’s something so comforting and cheerful about a bubbling Crock Pot Chicken Pot Pie, and I can’t wait for you to try this easy, delicious classic!
