Ingredients

Scale

Protein

2 lbs chicken breasts or thighs

Vegetables

1 cup chopped carrots
1 cup peas
1 cup corn kernels
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced

Liquids and Dairy

2 cups chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream or milk
3 tbsp butter

Thickening Agent

3 tbsp all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour for gluten-free version)

Herbs and Seasoning

1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried sage
Salt and pepper to taste

Crust

1 pie crust or biscuit dough (regular or gluten-free)

Instructions

Prepare the chicken and veggies: Chop onion, garlic, and mixed vegetables. Place the chicken in the crock pot, then layer the veggies on top to ensure even cooking and flavor infusion.
Make the roux: In a separate pan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour until golden and well combined to eliminate raw flour taste. Slowly add chicken broth and cream while whisking to create a velvety thickened sauce.
Combine ingredients: Pour the creamy sauce over the chicken and vegetables in the crock pot. Season with thyme, sage, salt, and pepper. Stir gently to combine flavors.
Cook on low: Cover and cook on low heat for 4 to 6 hours until chicken is tender and vegetables are cooked through.
Add the crust: About 30 minutes before serving, lay your pie crust or biscuit dough over the crock pot surface. Cover again to let it steam and cook, or transfer the crust to a preheated oven to bake until golden.
Serve and enjoy: Once the crust is golden and flaky, serve in portions and enjoy your hearty, comforting Crock Pot Chicken Pot Pie.

Notes

Use chicken thighs for juicier, more tender meat after slow cooking.
Cook the roux thoroughly to avoid raw flour taste in your sauce.
Layer hardier vegetables at the bottom for even cooking.
To avoid soggy crust, consider baking the crust separately and adding it just before serving.
Adjust salt and pepper after cooking for perfect seasoning balance.
