Scale
Chicken and Broth
- 1 1/2 lbs Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth
Seasonings
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/4 tsp dried thyme
- 1/4 tsp dried rosemary
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 3 tsp garlic
Soup and Vegetables
- 2 (10.5 oz) cans cream of chicken soup
- 3 medium Yukon gold potatoes, diced
- 1 (12 oz) bag frozen mixed vegetables
Additional Ingredients
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 (16 oz) can Grands biscuits (8 count Pillsbury Grands)
Instructions
- Prepare the Slow Cooker: Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into a 6-quart slow cooker and pour ½ cup low sodium chicken broth over the chicken. This creates a flavorful base to keep the chicken moist as it cooks.
- Season the Chicken: Sprinkle 1 tsp salt, ½ tsp ground black pepper, ¼ tsp dried thyme, ¼ tsp dried rosemary, and 1 tsp onion powder over the chicken and broth. These herbs and spices infuse the chicken with aromatic flavors during cooking.
- Add Soup and Vegetables: Pour 2 cans of cream of chicken soup over the chicken. Add 3 diced medium Yukon gold potatoes, 3 tsp garlic, and a 12 oz bag of frozen mixed vegetables. These combine to create the classic pot pie filling texture and flavor.
- Cook Slowly: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender.
- Shred the Chicken: Remove the chicken breasts carefully and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken back into the slow cooker with the cooked vegetable mixture.
- Add Sour Cream and Mix: Stir in ½ cup sour cream until the mixture is well combined. This adds richness and creaminess to the pot pie filling without curdling.
- Bake the Biscuits: Follow the instructions on the 16 oz can of Grands biscuits to bake them in the oven until golden brown and fully cooked.
- Serve: Spoon the creamy chicken pot pie mixture into bowls or plates and top each serving with a freshly baked biscuit. Enjoy immediately while warm.
Notes
- Prep the Potatoes: Dice potatoes roughly the same size to ensure even cooking in the slow cooker.
- Adding the Sour Cream: Stir sour cream in at the end to prevent curdling.
- Let It Cool Slightly: Turn off the slow cooker after removing chicken for shredding to cool the mixture before adding sour cream.
- Adjusting the Consistency: For a thinner sauce add more chicken broth at the end of cooking. For thicker sauce, make a cornstarch slurry with 1 tbsp cornstarch and 1 tbsp water, stir in, and cook until thickened.
