Ingredients
- 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup milk
- 0.5 onion, chopped
- 4 potatoes, peeled and diced
- 16 oz frozen mixed vegetables
- 0.5 cup chopped celery
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp poultry seasoning
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 8-count can buttermilk biscuits
Instructions
- Step 1: Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your crockpot. Layer the diced potatoes, chopped onion, celery, and frozen mixed vegetables on top of the chicken.
- Step 2: Sprinkle garlic powder, poultry seasoning, salt, and black pepper evenly over the ingredients for balanced flavor.
- Step 3: In a bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup and milk until smooth. Pour this mixture evenly over the chicken and vegetables in the crockpot.
- Step 4: Cover and cook on low for 6–8 hours or on high for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is tender and the sauce is creamy.
- Step 5: Remove the chicken from the crockpot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the crockpot and stir gently to combine with the sauce and vegetables.
- Step 6: While the filling finishes cooking, bake the buttermilk biscuits separately according to the package directions until golden and fluffy.
- Step 7: Serve the creamy chicken pot pie filling hot in bowls and top each serving with a warm biscuit for a satisfying meal.
Tips & Variations
- For extra richness, stir in a splash of heavy cream or a handful of shredded cheddar cheese before serving.
- Substitute frozen vegetables with fresh seasonal vegetables for a fresher taste.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water and stir it into the crockpot during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
- Use homemade biscuit dough or puff pastry as a topping for a homemade crust variation.
Storage
Store leftover pot pie filling in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a saucepan over low heat or in the microwave, stirring occasionally to warm evenly. Keep biscuits separate and reheat them wrapped in foil in the oven to maintain softness.
