Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create a delectable Crock Pot Chicken Pot Pie:
1. Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by chopping all the vegetables and cutting the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
2. Layer the Ingredients: Place the diced chicken, carrots, potatoes, onion, and peas in the bottom of your crock pot.
3. Mix in Liquids: Pour the chicken broth and heavy cream over the chicken and veggies.
4. Add Seasonings: Sprinkle the garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, salt, and black pepper over the top. Stir gently to combine.
5. Cover and Cook: Lid the crock pot and cook on low for 4-6 hours or high for 2-3 hours, until the chicken is cooked through.
6. Prepare the Crust: About 30 minutes before serving, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) or prep your pie crusts if using homemade dough.
7. Thicken the Filling: If you like, you can thicken the filling by adding a cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water) at the end of the cooking time; stir well.
8. Assemble the Pie: Pour the chicken mixture into a pie dish and cover with the pie crust, pressing the edges to seal. Cut slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
9. Egg Wash: If desired, brush the top with beaten egg for a golden finish.
10. Bake: Place the assembled pie in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
11. Cool: Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing to allow the filling to set.
By following these steps, you’ll easily create a deliciously comforting meal that everyone will enjoy.
