- ¼ tsp dried thyme and ¼ tsp dried rosemary – gives the dish a fragrant, herbal taste.
- 1 tsp onion powder – adds a subtle onion flavor.
- 2 (10.5 oz) cans cream of chicken soup – the base of the creamy sauce.
- 3 medium Yukon gold potatoes (diced) – hearty and filling.
- 3 tsp garlic – for a deeper, savory flavor.
- 1 (12 oz) bag frozen mixed vegetables – a colorful and healthy addition.
- ½ cup sour cream – adds tanginess to the creamy sauce.
- 1 (16 oz) can Grands biscuits (8 count Pillsbury Grands) – flaky and buttery to top the dish.
Optional Substitutions:
- Replace cream of chicken soup with a dairy-free alternative for those who are lactose intolerant.
- Swap chicken breasts for chicken thighs if you prefer a richer flavor.
Instructions
Step 1:
Place your chicken in a 6-quart slow cooker and pour the chicken broth over the top.
Step 2:
Season the chicken with salt, pepper, thyme, rosemary, and onion powder for maximum flavor.
Step 3:
Pour the cream of chicken soup over the chicken. Then, add diced potatoes, garlic, and mixed vegetables.
Step 4:
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours. This allows all the flavors to meld together.
Step 5:
Once done, remove the chicken and shred it with two forks. Stir the shredded chicken back into the pot and mix in the sour cream.
Step 6:
Prepare your Pillsbury Grands biscuits according to the instructions on the package.
Step 7:
Serve the slow cooker chicken pot pie with a biscuit on top and enjoy!
Notes
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh thyme and rosemary can enhance the flavor significantly.
- Prevent sogginess: For crispier biscuits, bake them separately and add them on top just before serving.
- Thickening the sauce: If you prefer a thicker sauce, add a tablespoon of flour or cornstarch mixed with water into the pot during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
