Ingredients

Protein

  • Chicken breast or thighs – 1.5 to 2 pounds, diced into bite-sized pieces

Vegetables

  • Mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn) – 2 cups, chopped
  • Onion – 1 medium, diced
  • Garlic – 2 cloves, minced

Liquids & Thickening

  • Chicken broth – 2 cups
  • Heavy cream or milk – 1 cup
  • Flour or cornstarch – 1/4 cup (for thickening)

Seasonings

  • Salt – 1 teaspoon
  • Black pepper – 1/2 teaspoon
  • Dried thyme – 1/2 teaspoon
  • Fresh parsley – 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Crust & Toppings

  • Pie crust or biscuit dough – enough to cover the top of the crock pot filling (about 1 crust or 1 can of biscuit dough)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken and Vegetables: Dice the chicken into bite-sized pieces and chop the carrots, peas, and corn into uniform chunks along with diced onion and minced garlic to ensure even cooking and good texture throughout the dish.
  2. Create the Base Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together chicken broth, heavy cream or milk, flour or cornstarch, salt, pepper, and dried thyme until smooth. This mixture will thicken during cooking to form the creamy savory gravy that binds the pot pie.
  3. Assemble in the Crock Pot: Place the diced chicken and chopped vegetables into the slow cooker. Pour the prepared sauce over the top, stir gently to combine everything evenly for consistent cooking and flavor distribution.
  4. Slow Cook: Set the slow cooker on low and cook for 4-5 hours, or on high for 2-3 hours, until the chicken is tender and the sauce has thickened to a creamy consistency.
  5. Add the Crust and Finish Baking: About 30 minutes before serving, carefully place the pie crust or biscuit dough over the cooked filling in the crock pot. Cover the pot and continue cooking until the crust is golden brown and cooked through, adding a buttery flaky or soft topping finish.

Notes

  • Use chicken thighs for juicier, more flavorful meat.
  • Mix flour or cornstarch well with liquids to avoid lumps in the sauce.
  • Add additional chicken broth during cooking if the filling seems dry.
  • Cover the crock pot properly during crust baking to trap steam and cook crust evenly.
  • Add fresh parsley or thyme near the end of cooking for a fresh herbal flavor boost.
