Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Vegetables
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup chopped onions
- 1 cup sliced carrots
- 1 cup diced potatoes
- 1 cup frozen peas
Liquids and Seasonings
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
Topping
- 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
Instructions
- Prepare the slow cooker: Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker to form the base layer.
- Add vegetables: Layer the chopped onions, sliced carrots, and diced potatoes on top of the chicken evenly.
- Add liquids: Pour the cream of chicken soup and chicken broth over the chicken and vegetables to create a flavorful sauce.
- Season the mixture: Sprinkle garlic powder, dried thyme, salt, and pepper over the ingredients. Stir gently to combine and ensure the chicken is well coated but still layered.
- Slow cook: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on low heat for 6 to 8 hours until the chicken and vegetables are tender.
- Shred chicken: Using two forks, shred the cooked chicken directly in the slow cooker and mix it thoroughly with the cooked vegetables and sauce.
- Add peas: Stir the frozen peas into the mixture to incorporate them evenly.
- Preheat oven: While the chicken mixture is still warm, preheat your oven according to the biscuit dough package instructions for baking.
- Transfer mixture: Spoon the chicken and vegetable mixture into a suitable baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Add biscuit topping: Arrange the refrigerated biscuit dough evenly over the top of the chicken pot pie mixture to cover the surface.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is puffed and golden brown.
- Serve: Remove the pot pie from the oven, allow it to cool slightly, then serve warm and enjoy.
Notes
- For a thicker filling, reduce the amount of chicken broth slightly or cook longer uncovered before adding biscuit topping.
- Frozen peas are added at the end to keep their texture and color vibrant.
- Use a baking dish that fits comfortably into your oven and accommodates all the filling with the biscuit topping.
- Season to taste, and adjust herbs as desired for flavor variations.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven for best results.
