This No-Fuss Crockpot Chicken Pot Pie combines all the cozy goodness of traditional pot pie without any hassle. You'll love how the chicken turns out super tender, swimming in a rich sauce, paired with puffy, crisp biscuits. It's the ultimate comfort food you can throw together any day when you want something warm and satisfying.

What You'll Need

  • Chicken Breasts (no bones or skin): They'll get super soft during the long cooking time.
  • Garlic Powder: Gives a nice flavor kick without needing fresh garlic.
  • Dried Oregano: Adds that nice earthy taste that makes everything better.
  • Black Pepper (cracked): Brings a bit of heat to cut through the creamy sauce.
  • Diced Yellow Onion: Adds a touch of sweetness and plenty of flavor to the mix.
  • Mixed Veggies (frozen): A simple way to get peas, carrots and corn without extra chopping.
  • Cream of Chicken Soup (condensed): Creates the creamy base that makes this dish so yummy.
  • Cream of Celery Soup (condensed): Works with the chicken soup to make everything extra velvety.
  • Chicken Broth: Thins out the sauce just enough while adding more chicken flavor.
  • Jumbo or Grands Biscuits: Baked on their own, they turn out golden and fluffy - the perfect topping.

How To Make It

Step 1:
Put your chicken breasts at the bottom of your slow cooker (5-quart or bigger).
Step 2:
Shake the dried oregano, garlic powder, and black pepper all over the chicken to give it some zip.
Step 3:
Spread the chopped yellow onion over everything, then dump in all your frozen mixed veggies.
Step 4:
Grab a bowl and mix your cream of chicken soup, cream of celery soup, and chicken broth until they're all blended together.
Step 5:
Dump the soup mix into your slow cooker, making sure it covers all the veggies, onions and chicken.
Step 6:
Put the lid on and cook until the chicken hits 165°F inside - about 4-5 hours on high or 6-8 hours on low.
Step 7:
Take out your chicken, shred it up with two forks, then toss it back in and stir everything up good.
Step 8:
Turn your slow cooker to the warm setting. While that's happening, follow the package directions to bake your biscuits until they're puffy and golden.
Step 9:
Scoop the warm chicken mixture into bowls and top each one with a fresh biscuit. Dig in and enjoy this hearty, home-cooked goodness!

Keeping and Enjoying Leftovers

  • Always top each bowl with a fresh biscuit right before you eat it.
  • Try it with a simple green salad or some steamed greens on the side.
  • Got leftovers? They'll stay good in the fridge for about 3 days in a sealed container.
  • When you want seconds, just zap it in the microwave or warm it in a pot. Add a splash of broth if it looks too thick.

Quick Tips

  • Try throwing in some smoked paprika or dried thyme to mix up the flavors.
  • Want it thicker? Use less broth or stir in a bit of flour to your soup mix before cooking.
  • In a rush? Grab a rotisserie chicken, tear it up, and toss it in during the final hour instead of using raw chicken.

Pro Chef Advice

  • Ina Garten says don't skimp on seasoning when you're slow cooking - it makes all the difference.
  • Ree Drummond thinks frozen veggie mixes are a smart shortcut for pot pies.
  • Rachael Ray always bakes her biscuits separately so they stay crispy on top of creamy dishes.

What Makes This So Good

  • You get that amazing pot pie taste without standing over the stove all day - just let your slow cooker do the work.
  • The mix of soft chicken, velvety sauce and fresh-baked biscuits hits all the right comfort food notes.
  • Everything happens in one pot (except the biscuits), so cleanup is super quick.

Mix It Up

  • Switch out the celery soup for cream of mushroom if you want a deeper flavor.
  • Try using puff pastry on top instead of biscuits for something different.
  • Throw in some shredded cheddar to make it extra indulgent.
