Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into chunks
  • 2 cups carrots, peeled and sliced into rounds (fresh or frozen)
  • 2 cups celery, chopped
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cups frozen peas
  • 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup whole milk or half-and-half
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (or 1 teaspoon garlic powder)
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme (or 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves)
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley (or 1 tablespoon fresh, chopped)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground sage (optional)
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend for gluten-free)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuits or homemade biscuit dough
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter (for brushing tops, optional)

Instructions

  1. Chop carrots, celery, and onion. Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces. Prep ahead if desired.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour and melted butter until smooth. Slowly whisk in chicken broth and milk. Add thyme, parsley, salt, pepper, sage, and garlic. Whisk until combined.
  3. Add chopped chicken, carrots, celery, and onion to the crock pot. Pour the sauce over and stir to coat.
  4. Cover and cook on LOW for 6-7 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours, until chicken is tender and veggies are soft.
  5. About 30 minutes before serving, stir in frozen peas. Adjust consistency: add broth if too thick, or whisk 1 tablespoon flour with 2 tablespoons water and stir in if too thin.
  6. Preheat oven to 350°F. Place biscuits on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden. Brush with melted butter if desired.
  7. To serve, ladle chicken pot pie filling into bowls and top with a warm biscuit. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

Add peas at the end for best color and texture. Use rotisserie chicken for a shortcut (add in the last hour). For gluten-free, use a GF flour blend and biscuits. For dairy-free, use plant-based milk and olive oil. Filling can be made ahead and refrigerated overnight for deeper flavor. Adjust seasoning before serving, as slow cookers can mute flavors.
