Plus, with minimal prep required, you can enjoy a homemade chicken pot pie without the fuss of traditional baking.

2. Ingredients Needed for This Chicken Pot Pie

  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, diced
  • 1 cup chopped carrots
  • 1 cup diced celery
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cans (10.5 oz each) condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 sheet of puff pastry or pie crust (for topping)
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

3. How to Make the Perfect Chicken Pot Pie in Your Crock Pot

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

In a large bowl, combine diced chicken, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly coated. This mixture will become the rich and flavorful filling for your chicken casserole.

Step 2: Cook in the Crock Pot

Transfer the mixture into your Crock-Pot Family-Size Slow Cooker. Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours, or until the chicken is tender and the vegetables are cooked through. During this slow cooker dinner process, the flavors meld beautifully to create a hearty, comforting dish.

Step 3: Prepare the Topping

While the filling is cooking, prepare your pastry crust or puff pastry. Roll out the pastry slightly if needed. Once the filling is ready, spoon it into a baking dish or leave it in the slow cooker if it’s oven-safe, then top with the pastry sheet. Brush the pastry with beaten egg for a golden, crisp finish.

Step 4: Bake to Perfection

Place the dish in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. If using the slow cooker’s oven-safe insert, you can bake directly; otherwise, transfer the filling to a baking dish. Your savory pie is now ready to serve!

4. Storage Tips for Leftover Chicken Pot Pie

Allow the cooled chicken casserole to reach room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, microwave on medium power until warmed through or reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes. For longer storage, consider freezing individual portions for up to 3 months.

5. Serving Suggestions for Your Chicken Pot Pie

This creamy crock pot chicken pot pie serves beautifully on its own, but you can elevate the meal with a side of garlic butter bread rolls or a fresh green salad. Adding a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or thyme before serving adds a burst of freshness to each bite. This dish pairs wonderfully with a light white wine or a sparkling cider for a cozy, satisfying dinner.

6. Frequently Asked Questions About Chicken Pot Pie

Can I make this chicken pot pie with leftover turkey or other meats?

Absolutely! Leftover turkey works perfectly as a substitute for chicken. Adjust cooking times if needed, and enjoy a delicious twist on classic recipes.

Is there a gluten-free option for this savory pie?

Yes, opt for gluten-free pie crust or use almond flour or gluten-free flour in the filling to keep the dish gluten-free.

How long does this chicken casserole take to prepare?

The total prep and cooking time is approximately 6-8 hours in the slow cooker plus 20-25 minutes baking time.

Can I freeze this chicken pot pie for later?

Yes, freeze the assembled, unbaked pie in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before baking.
