Key Ingredients for Crock Pot Chicken Pot Pie
See recipe card below for full list of measurements, ingredients, and instructions.
Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
Chicken breasts provide the base for this hearty pot pie. When slow-cooked, they become perfectly tender and easy to shred. You can also use thighs for extra flavor and moisture. If you prefer dark meat, swap in boneless, skinless chicken thighs—just trim excess fat.
Mixed Frozen Vegetables
These give the pot pie its signature medley of color, sweetness, and texture. No need to thaw them—just toss them right into the slow cooker. Feel free to use your favorite blend (peas, carrots, corn, and green beans work great). You can also use fresh veggies if you have them on hand, just dice them evenly.
Cream of Chicken Soup
This creates the luscious, creamy base of the filling. Opt for a low-sodium version to control the saltiness. If you’re avoiding canned soups, a homemade béchamel or a healthier cream soup substitute works beautifully.
Refrigerated Biscuit Dough
Biscuit dough makes this crock pot version so easy and gives you those classic flaky, golden pot pie “crust” bites with no fuss. You can use Grands-style biscuits for extra fluff, or try lower-fat or gluten-free varieties to suit your needs.
Poultry Seasoning
This blend of herbs (think: sage, thyme, rosemary) adds that classic pot pie aroma and depth. If you don’t have poultry seasoning, mix your own with a pinch of thyme, sage, and a hint of black pepper.

Instructions for Crock Pot Chicken Pot Pie
See recipe card below for full list of measurements, ingredients, and instructions.
Prep the Chicken and Veggies
Place your chicken breasts in the bottom of the crock pot. Scatter the diced onion, garlic, and frozen mixed vegetables evenly over the top.
Mix the Creamy Filling
In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, poultry seasoning, thyme, black pepper, and salt until smooth. Pour this mixture over the chicken and veggies, making sure everything is well coated.
Slow Cook to Perfection
Cover and cook on LOW for 6 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and easily shreds with a fork. Cooking low and slow delivers melt-in-your-mouth chicken.
Shred and Stir
Remove the chicken breasts and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the crock pot and stir in the heavy cream or half-and-half. Mix everything gently until well combined.
Add the Biscuits
Arrange the biscuit quarters on top of the hot filling in a single layer. Cover and cook on HIGH for another 45-60 minutes, or until the biscuits are puffed up and cooked through. They should be golden and no longer doughy in the center.
Serve and Enjoy
Ladle the pot pie into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve piping hot and dig in!
Recipe Variations
Swap Out the Protein
Feel free to use boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead of breasts for an even richer flavor and extra-juicy texture. Rotisserie chicken also works for a super quick shortcut—just stir it in during the last hour.
Make It Gluten-Free
Use your favorite gluten-free biscuit dough and ensure your cream of chicken soup is gluten-free. You can also thicken the filling with cornstarch or a gluten-free roux if needed.
Go Dairy-Free
Substitute coconut cream or a plant-based half-and-half for the heavy cream. Use a dairy-free cream of chicken soup or make your own creamy base with vegetable broth and a thickener.
Add Extra Veggies
Boost the nutrition and color by adding fresh baby spinach, diced bell peppers, or sliced mushrooms. Simply stir them in with the frozen veggies.
Spice It Up
Add a pinch of cayenne or a splash of hot sauce to give your pot pie a subtle kick. Fresh herbs like rosemary, parsley, or chives also make a delicious finish.
Serving Suggestions
Serve your Crock Pot Chicken Pot Pie piping hot as the star of your meal! Pair with a crisp green salad or steamed green beans for a pop of freshness. For extra comfort, add a slice of crusty bread to soak up the creamy sauce. Don’t forget to sprinkle with extra fresh parsley or a crack of black pepper for a pretty (and tasty) garnish.
Storage and Reheating
Leftovers keep well! Allow the pot pie to cool completely, then transfer to airtight containers and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop until hot. If the biscuits soften, pop them in the oven or toaster oven at 350°F for a few minutes to crisp up. You can freeze the biscuit-free filling for up to 2 months—just thaw, reheat, and add fresh biscuit dough before serving.
