- Pour the mixture into the slow cooker and gently stir to combine all ingredients.

Notes
- Rotisserie chicken works great for this recipe and saves preparation time.
- If the filling is too thin, mix 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons cold water and stir it in during the last 30 minutes.
- You can substitute heavy cream with milk or half-and-half for a lighter version.
- Additional vegetables like corn, mushrooms, or green beans can be added.
- Serve with biscuits, puff pastry, or crusty bread for a traditional pot pie feel.
