Why You’ll Love This Crockpot Chicken Pot Pie:

There are so many reasons to love this simple, hearty, and comforting recipe. A few of my favorites are:

  • Set it and forget it – You just toss everything in the Crockpot and let it cook while you go about your day, so you don’t even have to turn on your oven! This is fabulous for a Sunday after-church meal or a weeknight dinner.
  • Budget-friendly ingredients – It uses all pantry staples and frozen veggies.
  • Versatile and hearty – This will please picky eaters and big families, and it’s even great for meal prep during the week.

A Crustless Pot Pie

If the idea of making a chicken pot pie at home feels daunting to you, I’d be willing to bet you’re thinking of making and rolling out a homemade crust! This recipe does away with the crust but keeps all the flavor by using biscuits instead of a traditional pie crust. Feel free to make homemade biscuits, but I find the premade taste just as good and save you loads of time.

What Ingredients Are In Crockpot Chicken Pot Pie? 

As I mentioned before, one of my favorite things about this recipe is that it uses budget-friendly ingredients like pantry staples and frozen veggies! To make it, you need the following ingredients: 

  • 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut in half (You could also use chicken thighs, but I prefer chicken breasts.)
  • 2 cans of cream of chicken soup 
  • 1 jar Rao’s Alfredo sauce
  • 1 cup water (Pour this into the empty Rao’s jar and shake to get every drop of the Alfredo sauce.)
  • 2 cups milk (I use half buttermilk and half 2% for the best flavor.)
  • 1 cup chopped onion (Frozen works great.)
  • 1 bag diced potatoes (Steam for 4 minutes before adding.)
  • 32 oz bag frozen mixed vegetables (I like the mixture with peas, carrots, green beans, and corn.)
  • 1 cup finely chopped celery
  • 2 tsp soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp poultry seasoning
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • Frozen or refrigerated biscuits (Baked separately and served on top.)

How Do I Make Crockpot Chicken Pot Pie?

The instructions for this recipe are so simple! Start by layering the chicken in the bottom of your slow cooker, and then mix in all the other ingredients besides the biscuits. Stir this mixture together and cook it “low and slow” for a total cooking time of 5-6 hours. If you need to make it quicker, you could cook it on high for 3-4 hours. After the chicken cooks, remove it to shred or dice it, and then return the chicken to the Crockpot. Cook this for another hour or so until the flavors meld together and the mixture has a creamy consistency. Bake your biscuits separately, and top each pot pie with a biscuit. If you’re feeling fancy, garnish with fresh herbs or dried thyme, and enjoy! 

Tips for the Best Slow Cooker Chicken Pot Pie

  • Don’t skip the potatoes – They give this dish that true pot pie heartiness.
  • Add creaminess – Using Rao’s Alfredo adds rich depth of flavor beyond just cream of chicken soup! You won’t miss the heavy cream in this recipe.
  • Make it ahead – This recipe reheats beautifully, so leftovers are even better the next day. This is also a great freezer-friendly meal! 
  • Customize the veggies – Swap in corn, green beans, peas, or whatever your family likes best.

  1. It is delish!! I use the standard size bag of diced potatoes in refrigerated section of grocery store. Simply Potatoes or Bob Evans brands are common. I steam mine 4-5 minutes to get them tender before adding to the crock.
