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!

Can I use coined chicken?
Paul – Yes, you can use cooked chicken. It’s a great to use leftover chicken or rotisserie chicken. You just will not need the extended cooking time because the chicken is already cooked. Let me know if you try it!
On the chicken pot pie recipe can you use a Pillsbury pie crust instead of biscuits?
Wanda – For this recipe, I cook the biscuits separately. You can cook a Pillsbury pie crust separately, dice it into small pieces and serve it over this crock pot chicken pot pie recipe. It would taste delicious!
I can’t wait to serve up some of these delicious recipes
Thank you so much Wanda – I hope you enjoy them all!
Made this last night. Used half bag more of veggys than recommended, and also used one of canned
white meat chicken. very little milk and 2 small potatoes. One stalk chopped fine of celery and added an extra can of creme of mushroom soup in addition to the creme of chicken. My wife and I just fell in love with this and so easy to make. Will make again soon. topped with some store bought biscuits and ate the whole thing. Wonderful recipe.
Thank you so much for sharing Rich and for the positive review – You made my day! I’m so glad your wife and you enjoy this recipe!
Thanks for the reply. I am retired law enforcement here in Washington after 41 years. I now do most of the cooking and love my two slo cookers as I am pretty busy doing other things, so slo cooker recipes is what I love and this chicken pot thing was one of the best. I also make a wonderful meatloaf in the crockpot. You do a great service for guys like me. Thanks so much .
I didn’t thaw out my chicken when I started the recipe. So it made it watery cause of that and the frozen veggies. I cooked it till the chicken was done but I needed up having to add heavy whipping cream to it and another can of cream of chicken. Hopefully it tastes better. I havent tried it yet.
Dollie – I hope it turned out well! Yes, the frozen items will add in more liquid and I’m finding that chicken is releasing more liquid when it’s cooked now than I have ever noticed before. Next time if it’s too watery, you can always switch the instant pot to the sauté setting and cook off the excess liquid. One of the many reasons why I love cooking in the instant pot!
When mine was a bit watery, I stirred in some corn starch while I had the chicken out to shred it and that thickened it right up without changing the flavour at all
Melanie – Thanks for sharing your feedback. I’m glad you enjoyed the flavor!
I prefer dark meat. Can it be made with chicken thighs?
Hey Carlie – Absolutely! Feel free to use dark meat. Let me know how it turns out.
Overall a good recipe! I do think the nutritional value should be done with out the biscuit added in as that can vary. It needs a little more seasoning but we were out of celery.
Thank you for sharing Jenn and thank you for the positive review!
Very good, just missing something on the backend
Hey Derek. Thanks for your feedback and for giving it a try.
Made this recipe and was delicious! The tweaks I did was I added 2 cans of soup and 1/2 cup of milk and some creole seasoning, with a little cream and cooked the chicken beforehand….Came out awesome!!!!
Yum! Your tweaks sounds amazing especially the Creole seasoning! I bet that was delicious in this recipe! Thank you so much for sharing and for the positive review.
Mine did t turn out as creamy as yours looks. What did I do wrong? I followed the recipe only adding two 10 oz pkgs of frozen veggies as I didn’t have 16 oz?
Donna – Each crock pot cooks a bit differently. Yours might have cooked hotter and caused some of the liquid to evaporate off after cooking. I would recommend if this happens again, to stir in more broth to make it creamy again before serving.
I noticed you can use hash brown frozen potatoes if you freeze the whole recipe, but how much of the frozen hahs brown potatoes will equal the 4 fresh potatoes.
I used the frozen hash browns for the first time. I used 4 cups, which might be a bit too much, but I’ll let you know, cooking it is cooking now. I’ll see how it turns out and comment again later.
Susan – Can’t wait to hear how it turned out. I hope you love it!
My milk curdled at 2 hours on high. What went wrong? It smelt so good and I was bummed I couldn’t serve it.
Oh no! I’m so sorry! It sounds like your crock pot runs hot and likely got too hot during the cooking time. I would recommend cooking low next time since your crock pot runs hotter.
Thank you for reminding me how to make Chicken pot pie.
Can the cooked filling be put in pie crusts and baked?
Hey Amy – If you prefer a traditional Chicken Pot Pie Recipe not in the slow cooker, try this recipe. https://www.eatingonadime.com/double-crust-chicken-pot-pie/. Let me know if you make it!
What is the serving size?
It’s hard to put an exact size on the serving as each batch is different. The recipe serves 8, so a serving is 1/8 of the entire recipe.
Made this a couple days ago and it is delicious. Just wonderful flavor! This is a keeper for me with plenty to add to the freezer. Thank you, Carrie.
Hey Kathy! Thanks for leaving a comment. We are so glad it turned out wonderful!
I love chicken and dumplings. And this is delicious. Will definitely make again!
