Chicken pot pie is one of those classic meals that never gets old. This dish is a crock pot adaptation of my chicken pot pie from scratch - and it is just as amazing! Every bite is full of juicy chicken and vegetables, smothered in a herby gravy and topped with flakey, homemade biscuits. Seriously, what more could you ask for?

Also, my chicken pot pie crock pot recipe couldn't be any simpler! When making the pie filling, all you need to do is toss the ingredients into the slow cooker (no need to mix!), and you're good to go. You can even make the biscuit dough ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator until you're ready to serve.

When making my biscuits, I melt the butter and then add cold milk. This solidifies the butter into tiny shards and creates a lighter and flakier biscuit - so good!

Instructions For Making Chicken Pot Pie In A Crock Pot

For the Pot Pie

Place the carrots, celery, onion, and garlic in the bottom of the crockpot.
Place chicken over the vegetables.
Combine the herbs (if using dried), seasonings and ¼ cup of flour.
Sprinkle over the chicken, turning it a few times to evenly distribute the flour.
Add the chicken broth and bullion cube.
Cook for about 2 hours on high OR about 6 hours on low.
Shred chicken and add peas, and fresh herbs (if using) stir to combine.
Make and bake biscuits as follows.

For the Biscuits

Combine 1 ½ cups flour, baking powder, and salt.
Immediately after butter is melted, add the cold milk. Mix until small shards of butter are visible.
Combine wet and dry ingredients, starting with 1 ½ cups flour and adding more flour as needed. The dough should be slightly wet but you should be able to handle it with floured hands.
Working with a few tablespoons of dough at a time, roll gently into a ball and flatten with your hand.
Gently set on top of the pot pie filling in the slow cooker. Repeat until top is covered and dough is gone.
Cook 1-2 more hours (on low - 30 minutes to 1 hour on high), or until the biscuit dough is cooked through.
Optional: Broil on high for about 5 minutes to get a nice brown on top. Sprinkle with fresh parsley.

How do you store crock pot chicken pot pie?

When storing this chicken pot pie crock pot recipe, always let it cool completely before transferring it to an air-tight container. You can then keep your slow cooker chicken pot pie in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze it for up to 3 months.

Can I use chicken breast in this crock pot chicken pot pie recipe?

I tend to use chicken thighs more than breast for this recipe, as I find the thighs stay nice and moist while slow cooking. But this doesn't mean chicken breasts aren't suitable for this dish - they still work really well! If using chicken breast instead of thigh, swap out 2 of the thighs for 1 chicken breast.

Can I use store-bought chicken broth to make slow cooker chicken pot pie?

Of course! You can use store-bought chicken broth instead of making your own in this recipe. I absolutely love homemade chicken broth, but I don't always have the time to make it. If you don't have the time either, then store-bought is perfectly fine

Can I use dried herbs in this chicken pot pie crock pot recipe?

I have tried both fresh and dried herbs when making my crock pot chicken pot pie, and each time it comes out delicious. If you don't have fresh herbs, feel free to use the dried equivalent - just make sure you reduce the quantity slightly, as dried herbs have a more concentrated flavor. I have outlined the correct measurements for both fresh and dried herbs in the recipe card below!
