Instructions
Creating your Slow Cooker Chicken Pot Pie can be simple if you follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts at the bottom of the slow cooker.
2. Add Vegetables: Layer the diced carrots, potatoes, corn, green peas, onion, and garlic over the chicken.
3. Create Sauce Mixture: In a separate bowl, combine the chicken broth, heavy cream, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
4. Pour Over Chicken and Veggies: Pour the sauce mixture over the layered chicken and vegetables in the slow cooker.
5. Cook: Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
6. Shred Chicken: Once cooked, shred the chicken with two forks while it’s still in the slow cooker.
7. Thicken the Filling (optional): If you prefer a thicker filling, stir in the flour gradually and let it cook for another 15 minutes on high.
8. Prepare Pie Crust: While the filling is thickening, preheat your oven according to package instructions for the pie crust.
9. Assemble: Once the filling is ready, transfer it to a baking dish and cover with the pie crust, tucking the edges.
10. Bake: Bake according to the pie crust package instructions until golden brown and flaky.
11. Cool and Serve: Let it cool for a few minutes before serving to avoid burning your tongue!
