How to Make Chicken Pot Pie in a Slow Cooker
Aunt Lou here.
When I saw this recipe in Gooseberry Patch’s Slow Cooking All Year ‘Round , I just knew I was going to give it a try.
To make it even better, this can be thrown together in a snap! I did make a few changes from the original recipe (because what’s the fun in leaving it the same?) to make the broth/gravy for the pot pie a little thicker…and the results were fabulous!
I already had exactly 3 chicken breasts cooked up and in the fridge waiting for a recipe, so this worked out perfectly for me. If the stars don’t align to where you already have the exact amount of chicken waiting in the fridge, cook up your chicken breasts and cut them into cubes.
When this is done, we like to serve over hot biscuits! I like mine just torn in half and covered with the yummy Crock Pot Chicken Pot Pie mixture, Michael likes to tear up his biscuit and mix it all together.

The recipe calls for cooked chicken so I was wondering why does it need to cook on low for 6-7 hours?
When I first made this recipe, I followed the original recipe’s timing, and it worked well, so we have just stuck with it when remaking it. Cooking it low and slow gives the flavors plenty of time to meld together and become a delicious meal. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do!
We really enjoyed this recipe. I did add potato chunks because chicken pot pie always has potatoes in our family. I will definitely make this again. If you get any information about adding the chicken into the crockpot while it is raw, please let us know. This would make it much easier, but I was afraid to try that.
I made this today and it was great.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Would heavy cream work instead of the milk? I have some leftover from making Thanksgiving mashed potatoes. If not, into my hot cocoa it goes!
Hi Beth!
I have not tried this recipe with heavy cream instead of milk. It might work…you have my interest piqued! If you give it a try, let me know how it goes!
Aunt Lou
Why do you have to pre cook the chicken? Like whats the advantage to cooking it before throwing in the crockpot? Just curious cause for me the advantage to making something in the crockpot is just being able to throw everything in it and let it do all the work.
Hi J!
I was following the recipe as it was written. If you give it a try with raw chicken, let me know how it goes and any adjustments that you needed to make!
Aunt Lou
It says add first 7 ingredients, last one being cornstarch. Does this mean we are using cornstarch twice? First when adding all then again when making mixture?
Hi Michelle!
The first 7 ingredients are:
1) 32 oz chicken broth
2) 2 cans of cream of chicken soup 10 3/4 oz cans
3) 2 c milk
4) 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts cooked and cubed
5) 2 c frozen peas and carrots
6) 1 t salt
7) 1 1/2 t pepper
So you will only use the corn starch once.
Enjoy!

One of those comfort foods I love to eat! I think the gravy part itself would be delicious eaten like a stew or served over biscuits or rice. You give me ideas!😉😊❤
Love those ideas Kim! It is definitely comfort food! So yummy!
Thank you for your kind words! We love hearing from you!

Can you freeze the leftovers?
Hi Leslie!
I haven’t tried freezing the leftovers. I think it could work (minus the biscuits). If you give it a try, let me know how it goes!
~Aunt Lou
Freezing leftovers works great!! Just warm up slowly on the stove top. You won’t think that it will work, but all of a sudden it does and it is just as good the day it was made. This is one of my freezer meal go-to’s.
Nice Recipe!
Thanks Anita! I love an easy, comfort-food recipe!
You both are the best ..Continued success!!
Thanks so much for the kind words, Robert! We love hearing from our readers!
I made this with leftover Rotisserie chicken instead of breasts. So delicious! Thank you for the recipe!!!
Do you have to cook the chicken first or can you throw it the crockpot raw? How do you cook the chicken? Pan or oven?
You will want to cook it first and cut it into cubes. I boiled them on the stove and it worked really well. Enjoy!
Just wanted to say that any cream of anything soup has MSG in it. Some people are allergic to it (my wife, for instance). Could you possibly find some other ingredient to replace that?
One solution for your family might be this substitute: http://www.gimmesomeoven.com/condensed-homemade-cream-chicken-soup-recipe/
Would it be possible to put the water cornstarch mixture into the crockpot during the last hour? I’d like to save that final step in the saucepan if I could!
I understand completely! However, I think on this one you may have to go ahead use the saucepan.
From everything I have read about using cornstarch for thickening, it needs to be added when the liquid is at least at a simmer if not full boil and then needs to boil until the liquid reaches the desired thickness. And that was how I was taught by Michael’s Great Aunt T down in Louisiana as well. (It is always fun to learn from a great old fashion cook!)
The original recipe did not call for this step, but we like a thicker gravy for our pot pie’s so I thought I would share how I did it. 🙂
