Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup frozen peas and carrots
- 1 cup diced potatoes (optional)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Topping
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (for topping)
Instructions
- Combine ingredients: Add the cooked shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, milk, frozen peas and carrots, diced potatoes (if using), garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the crock pot. Stir well to evenly incorporate all ingredients.
- Cook the mixture: Cover the crock pot and cook the filling mixture on low heat for 4 to 6 hours or on high heat for 2 to 3 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and vegetables to soften.
- Add biscuit topping: About one hour before the cooking time ends, cut the refrigerated biscuit dough into quarters. Place the biscuit pieces evenly on top of the chicken and vegetable mixture in the crock pot.
- Finish cooking: Continue cooking with the biscuits on top until they puff up, turn golden brown, and are fully cooked through. This usually takes around one hour.
- Serve warm: Once cooked, serve the chicken pot pie casserole warm directly from the crock pot for a comforting and hearty meal.
Notes
- For enhanced flavor, add fresh or dried thyme or parsley to the mixture before cooking.
- To ensure even browning of the biscuits, gently stir or rotate them halfway through the last hour of cooking if your crock pot allows.
- The diced potatoes are optional but add extra heartiness; you can substitute or add other vegetables like corn or green beans.
- Use fully cooked chicken (rotisserie or pre-cooked) to save time and ensure tenderness.
- If preferred, substitute cream of chicken soup with a homemade white sauce for a fresher taste.
