I love making this easy slow cooker chicken pot pie when I want a comforting, homemade-style meal without putting in much effort. The slow cooker handles everything, and I end up with tender chicken, vegetables, and a creamy filling that feels classic and satisfying. It is one of those recipes I rely on when I want something warm and hearty at the end of the day.

The flavors come together gently over time, giving me a rich and comforting dish without any stress. I also enjoy how easy it is to customize depending on what I have available.
Ingredients
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of Ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 2½ pounds)
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1½ teaspoons garlic powder
1½ teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
1 large yellow onion, diced
3 cups frozen mixed vegetables
1 can (10.5 ounces) condensed cream of chicken soup
1 can (10.5 ounces) condensed cream of celery soup
½ cup chicken broth
½ cup heavy cream
1 can (16.3 ounces) refrigerated biscuits (8 count)
Directions
I begin by placing the chicken breasts in a single layer at the bottom of a 5-quart or larger slow cooker. I evenly sprinkle the oregano, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika over the chicken.
Next, I add the diced onion in an even layer, followed by the frozen mixed vegetables. In a separate bowl, I whisk together the cream of chicken soup, cream of celery soup, and chicken broth until smooth. I pour this mixture over everything in the slow cooker, making sure it is well distributed.
I cover and cook on high for 3 to 4 hours or on low for 5 to 7 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender. Once cooked, I remove the chicken, shred it with two forks, and return it to the slow cooker. I stir in the heavy cream and set the slow cooker to warm while I bake the biscuits according to the package directions. I serve the creamy filling warm with freshly baked biscuits.
Servings And Timing
I usually get 6 servings from this recipe. Preparation takes about 5 minutes, and cooking time is approximately 3 to 4 hours on high or 5 to 7 hours on low. This makes it ideal for a hands-off dinner that still feels filling and comforting.
Variations
I sometimes use boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts for a slightly richer flavor. When I want a thicker filling, I reduce the broth or stir in a cornstarch slurry near the end of cooking. For extra creaminess, I occasionally add a little more heavy cream or a spoonful of sour cream. I also like experimenting with different vegetables or adding herbs like thyme or rosemary to change the flavor profile.
Storage/Reheating
I store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days, keeping the biscuits stored separately at room temperature. To reheat, I warm the filling on the stovetop, in the microwave, or in the slow cooker. If I plan ahead, I freeze the filling for up to three months and thaw it in the refrigerator before reheating.
FAQs
Can I Use Chicken Thighs Instead Of Chicken Breasts?
I often use boneless, skinless chicken thighs, and they work just as well while adding a bit more richness.
Can I Make This Without Heavy Cream?
I can skip the heavy cream if needed, though the filling will be slightly less creamy.
Can I Add More Vegetables?
I like adding extra frozen or fresh vegetables when I want a heartier dish, and it works well without changing the cooking time much.
How Do I Prevent Dry Chicken?
I check the chicken earlier since slow cookers can vary, and removing it as soon as it is done keeps it tender.
Can I Serve This Without Biscuits?
I sometimes enjoy the filling on its own or served over rice or mashed potatoes instead of biscuits.
