This slow cooker chicken pot pie recipe does not require overly complicated ingredients.  I love simple recipes and this one is no different.  I promise, you won’t have to sacrifice any flavor either!

How to make Crock Pot Chicken Pot Pie:

First place everything in the crock pot except the biscuits.

Then cover and cook on low all day in your favorite crock pot (usually for 8-10 hours).  You can also cook on high for 4-6 hours if you need dinner on the table quicker.

Next remove the chicken and shred.  Add the chop chicken back into the crock pot and stir to combine this chicken with the other ingredients.

Towards the end of the cook time of this great recipe, bake the biscuits and serve a biscuit on top of each bowl when serving.  I like using the refrigerated biscuits as it’s easier than having to create a pie crust!  I’m all about saving time in the kitchen.

It is delicious and very easy!

This recipe is so easy to make but simply tastes delicious. It has the comfort food of a chicken pot pie without all the work of actually making a pie.

Variations

You can use your favorite type of biscuits for the topping.  I usually use the large ones that are on sale.  I recommend that you use your favorite kind!

You can make crock pot chicken pot pie bisquick by making your own biscuits from a biquick mix.

Also, if you love creamy chicken pot pie, you can mix in heavy cream instead of the milk.  I would not add it in the crock pot until the last hour of the cook time.

Another quick variation to this recipe is to use vegetables that you love.  If you do not love carrots, celery, corn or peas then you can definitely leave them out and add in your favorite instead.  I have made this recipe with green beans before and it was delicious!

Use chicken thighs – Chicken chicken thighs would also be delicious in this recipe.

How to thicken chicken pot pie in crock pot

If your chicken pot pie recipe is not as thick as you would prefer after the cooking time, you can easily thicken the sauce right in your crock pot.

My favorite way to thicken sauces in my recipes is by creating a corn starch slurry and adding it to my crock pot.

To make this cornstarch slurry, I mix ¼ cup of corn starch with 1 cup of cold water or chicken broth until the corn starch is completely dissolved.  Then I add this mixture to the crock pot and cook on high for 30 minutes until the sauce is the consistency that I want for this recipe.

You can also follow this same process with flour instead of corn starch if you prefer.

Why does my Chicken Pot Pie get Watery:

If you chicken mixture is bit watery it is possible that it not done cooking. The chicken pot pie ingredients need time to set up and create a thick filling. If you find that your is getting to dark or burning, place a piece of foil over the top.

Can I use Fresh Vegetables?

Yes, you can use fresh vegetables. This is a great recipe to add any leftover vegetables that you need to use. We normally use frozen veggies, but fresh work just as great.

Can I use Leftover Rotisserie Chicken?

Yes, you can use leftover rotisserie chicken. Use 3 cups of leftover rotisserie and add to the crock pot. This recipe is great to use any type of leftover chicken.

How to freeze chicken pot pie

This recipe is VERY freezer friendly.

To make freezer crock pot chicken pot pie, all you have to do is toss all the ingredients except the potatoes in a freezer bag. (potatoes do not freeze well uncooked). Then freeze the pot pie.

Next I just toss the freezer bag of ingredients into a crockpot, add your potatoes and cook like normal.

If you want to freeze the potatoes, then substitute diced hash browns for the potatoes and you will still get the same delicious meal and it will be frozen ready to cook.

Freezing it ahead of time really saves you money in the long run. All you have to do is toss it in the crockpot in the morning. Done!

  1. Olivia says:

    Would this recipe work in a 4.5qt crock pot? Looks amazing!

    1. Carrie Barnard says:

      Olivia – I haven’t tried that yet so I’m not sure. I made it in a 6 quart crock pot. You want to make sure that the ingredients all fit into the crock pot and it’s not more than 3/4 of the way full to ensure that the meal gets cooked all the way through. If you try it out, let me know if it works! Thank you.

  2. Emily says:

    if i use rotisserie chicken how long do i cook everything else for? new to the kitchen & canโ€™t wait to try it!

    1. Carrie Barnard says:

      Emily – I would recommend cooking all the other ingredients on low for 5-6 hours or on high for 2.5-3 hours and then stir in the cooked shredded rotisserie chicken for the last hour of the cooking time to heat it through. I hope you enjoy this recipe!

  3. Rose Gutierrez says:

    I absolutely love your recipes. I watched you & your sisterโ€™s cooking as often as I can.
    How do I get the 31 days of crockpot cooking.
    Thatโ€™s something that I would love to have.

    1. Carrie Barnard says:

      Rose – Thank you so much for following along and watching us cook and create recipes! I’m so glad you’re enjoying them. You can find our digital Crocktober cookbook here which includes the 31 days of crock pot recipes. I hope you enjoy it!

  4. Kirsten Nyboer says:

    Is it possible to bag up everything (except the milk, peeled potatoes, and cream of soup). I’m hoping to place all the ingredients I can in a Ziploc, then dump into the crockpot when I need it later in the week. I would leave the milk out the Ziploc bag, but could I put in the potatoes and cream of soup?

    1. Carrie Barnard says:

      Kirsten – Yes, this can work. I don’t add peeled and diced potatoes as they will get brown as they are stored in the refrigerator or freezer but all the other ingredients could work stored in a bag and then throwing it in the crock pot the day you’re ready to enjoy it!

    2. Lori Milligan says:

      This is in the crockpot now. Do you know the calories/nutrition without the biscuits?

      1. Carrie Barnard says:

        Lori – The biscuits are approximately 200 calories per serving so this meal would be 259 calories per serving without the biscuit. To get all the updated nutritional information I would recommend an app like my fitness pal as our nutritional information includes the biscuit for this meal. Thanks!

      Sebbe – Thank you SO much!

  6. Sebbe says:

    I made this today and my family and I love it! It’s definitely going in the rotation. I used thighs instead of breasts and it came out great. I was concerned that the sauce looked a little thin while it was cooking but once the chicken was cooked and shredded it soaked up the sauce scrumptiously. Thanks for a super easy delicious recipe.

    1. Kathy - Eating on a Dime Team says:

      Sebbe – I’m so glad everyone loved it. Thank you so much for leaving a comment.

  7. Louise says:

    Donโ€™t have any can soup! Can I just make a white sauce?

    1. Carrie Barnard says:

      Louise – I haven’t tested that yet but I think it would work great. Let me know how it turns out!

  8. Karen With Kaden says:

    Looks great and super easy!!! Will try when weather is cooler!!! More simple recipes would be wonderful please!!!

    1. Kathy - Eating on a Dime Team says:

      Karen- Can’t wait for you to try it! Thank you so much for leaving a comment.

  9. Linda Violette says:

    My family loves this, can you freeze it?

    1. Carrie Barnard says:

      Yes, the leftovers freeze great for up to 3-6 months. When reheating, defrost out overnight in the refrigerator and reheat on the stove top or in the oven until heated through. I don’t recommend freezing this one raw as raw potatoes usually turn black when I freeze them.

  10. George says:

    Really good and easy to make, will be making this again

  11. Ruthie Young Easterling says:

    5 stars
    So good!

    1. Kathy - Eating on a Dime Team says:

      Ruthie – Yay! So glad you enjoyed it.

  12. Krystal Crowl says:

    No chicken broth?

    1. Carrie Barnard says:

      No, no chicken broth is needed. The chicken releases a lot of liquid while it cooks which is great for this meal.

      1. Krystal Crowl says:

        I donโ€™t know why my comment attached to somebody else but thank you

      2. Carrie Barnard says:

        Oh I’m not sure either! Thanks for letting me know and I’ll look into it.
