Creamy Chicken Pot Pie
1. Overview
This is a cozy dinner that is easy to make on a busy day. The chicken cooks slowly with vegetables in a creamy savory sauce until everything is tender. A golden biscuit topping goes over the filling at the end. It is warm, comforting and just the kind of meal that makes everyone want seconds.
Why You'll Love It
- ✓ Creamy Filling: Chicken and vegetables cook in a rich creamy sauce that stays thick enough to spoon over the topping.
- ✓ Tender Chicken: Slow cooking gives the chicken plenty of time to become tender and easy to shred.
- ✓ Golden Topping: Flaky biscuit pieces add a warm golden finish and give the creamy filling some texture.
2. Ingredients
- 900 g Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 2 medium Carrots, peeled and diced
- 2 stalks Celery, diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 480 ml Chicken broth
- 240 ml Heavy cream
- 150 g Frozen peas
- 1 tsp Dried thyme
- ½ tsp Black pepper
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tube Refrigerated biscuit dough
- 2 tbsp Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tbsp All-purpose flour
3. Instructions
8 StepsPlace the chicken breasts in a 6-quart slow cooker. Add the onion, carrots, celery and garlic.
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and chicken. Add the thyme, salt and black pepper.
Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir gently around the chicken to combine the ingredients.
Cover and cook on LOW for 5–6 hours or until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it with two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the creamy mixture and stir in the frozen peas.
Cut the refrigerated biscuit dough into small pieces and arrange them evenly over the surface of the chicken mixture. Brush the tops lightly with melted butter.
Cover and cook on HIGH for 45–60 minutes until the biscuit topping is cooked through. For a more golden top, transfer the removable slow cooker insert to an oven-safe setting if your cooker allows it and broil briefly until lightly browned.
Let the pot pie rest for 5 minutes before serving. Spoon the creamy chicken and vegetables into bowls with pieces of the golden biscuit topping.
