Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 2 to 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs

Vegetables

  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 cup frozen diced carrots
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Filling

  • 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 3/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley

Crust

  • 1 can Pillsbury Crescent Rolls or 1 prepared pie crust (for gluten-free, use gluten-free pastry or phyllo dough)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Slow Cooker: Lightly grease the crock pot to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
  2. Add Chicken and Vegetables: Place chicken breasts or thighs at the bottom, then layer frozen peas, carrots, corn, chopped onion, and minced garlic on top.
  3. Mix the Filling: In a bowl, combine condensed cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, salt, pepper, thyme, and parsley. Pour this mixture evenly over the chicken and vegetables in the crock pot.
  4. Slow Cook: Cover and cook on low for 5 to 6 hours, or until chicken is fully cooked and tender.
  5. Shred the Chicken: Remove chicken from the crock pot, shred with two forks, then return to the crock pot and stir gently to combine.
  6. Prepare the Crust: Lay crescent roll dough or pie crust on a baking sheet. Cut into strips for lattice top or keep whole for full crust coverage.
  7. Assemble and Bake: Transfer filling into an oven-safe dish, place crust over the top, and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes until crust is golden and flaky.

Notes

  • Thighs tend to stay juicier than breasts, but either works well.
  • Do not overfill the crock pot; leave room for heat circulation.
  • If filling is too thin, mix 1 tablespoon cornstarch with cold water and stir in before baking.
  • Let the pot pie rest 5 minutes after baking to set the filling for easier slicing.
  • Frozen vegetables save prep time and maintain vibrant color and nutrition.
