Ingredients
Scale
Slow Cooker Filling
- 2 lbs chicken breasts
- 1 cup frozen peas and carrots
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp dried thyme
Pie Crust
- 1 package refrigerated pie crusts (usually 2 crusts, use one crust for this recipe)
Instructions
- Prepare slow cooker mixture: Place chicken breasts, frozen peas and carrots, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried thyme into the slow cooker. Stir gently to combine ingredients.
- Slow cook the filling: Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3 hours until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
- Shred the chicken: Remove the chicken breasts from the slow cooker, shred them with two forks, then return the shredded chicken back into the slow cooker. Stir to mix evenly.
- Prepare the pie crust: Roll out the refrigerated pie crust and cut it to fit the top of the slow cooker. Trim edges as needed for a proper fit.
- Add the crust and bake: Place the pie crust on top of the slow cooker mixture, pressing edges to seal if possible. Turn the slow cooker to high and cook for an additional 30 minutes or until the pie crust is golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Carefully remove the crust, scoop servings of the chicken pot pie, and serve warm for a delicious comfort meal.
Notes
- Cooking times may vary depending on your slow cooker model.
- To prevent crust sogginess, ensure no excess liquid rises to the top before placing the pie crust.
- You can add chopped onions or celery to the slow cooker for added flavor if desired.
- Use gluten-free pie crust for a gluten-free version.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
