Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Seasonings
- 4 frozen chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon dried minced onion
- 1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- Salt and pepper, to taste (about 1/2 teaspoon each)
Soup and Vegetables
- 2 (10 ounce) cans cream of chicken soup
- 3–4 russet potatoes, diced into one-inch chunks (use 3 if large)
- 2 cups frozen peas and carrots
Dairy
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Baking
- 1 can refrigerated biscuits (for serving; can substitute frozen biscuits or homemade biscuits)
Instructions
- Season the Chicken: Place the 4 frozen chicken breasts into the bottom of the crock pot. Sprinkle the chicken evenly with 1 teaspoon dried minced onion, 1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning, and salt and pepper to taste (about 1/2 teaspoon each).
- Add the Soup: Pour the contents of 2 (10 ounce) cans of cream of chicken soup over the seasoned chicken breasts, making sure they are well coated.
- Add Potatoes and Cook: Top the chicken and soup with the diced russet potatoes. Cover the crock pot and cook on low for about 6 hours, or until the potatoes are tender and the chicken is thoroughly cooked through.
- Shred the Chicken: Using two forks, shred the cooked chicken directly in the crock pot or remove it, dice it, and then return it to the pot for easier mixing.
- Add Frozen Vegetables: Stir in 2 cups of frozen peas and carrots to the crock pot, distributing them evenly through the mixture.
- Add Cream and Finish Cooking: Pour in 1/2 cup of heavy cream and stir everything together well. Cover and cook on low for an additional 20-30 minutes to let flavors meld and vegetables heat through.
- Prepare Biscuits: While the chicken pot pie mixture finishes cooking, bake 1 can of refrigerated biscuits according to the package directions. Once baked, split the biscuits open and place them on plates or in bowls for serving.
- Serve: Spoon the creamy chicken pot pie filling over the warm biscuits and serve immediately for a comforting meal.
Notes
- You can substitute fresh vegetables for the frozen peas and carrots if preferred, adding them near the end of cooking to avoid overcooking.
- For a thicker filling, reduce the amount of heavy cream or use less soup.
- If you prefer a crispy top, transfer the mixture to a baking dish, add biscuit dough on top, and bake in the oven until golden brown.
- This recipe freezes well; store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat gently on the stovetop or microwave.
- Adjust seasonings according to taste, especially salt and poultry seasoning.
