Ingredients
Chicken and Broth
- 1 ½ lbs Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- ½ cup low sodium chicken broth
Seasonings
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp ground black pepper
- ¼ tsp dried thyme
- ¼ tsp dried rosemary
- 1 tsp onion powder
Soup and Vegetables
- 2 (10.5 oz) cans cream of chicken soup
- 3 medium Yukon gold potatoes, diced
- 3 tsp garlic (minced or chopped)
- 1 (12 oz) bag frozen mixed vegetables
Final Touches
- ½ 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. Pour ½ cup of low sodium chicken broth over the chicken to keep it moist during cooking.
- Season the chicken: Sprinkle the chicken evenly with 1 tsp salt, ½ tsp ground black pepper, ¼ tsp dried thyme, ¼ tsp dried rosemary, and 1 tsp onion powder. These herbs and spices will infuse the chicken and broth with delicate, savory flavor.
- Add soups and vegetables: Pour 2 cans of cream of chicken soup over the seasoned chicken. Then add diced Yukon gold potatoes, 3 tsp garlic, and the frozen mixed vegetables on top. This combination creates the classic creamy filling for the pot pie.
- Cook low and slow: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or, if short on time, cook on high for 3-4 hours. This long, slow cooking tenderizes the chicken and melds all the flavors together perfectly.
- Shred and combine: Remove the cooked chicken from the slow cooker and shred it finely using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir in ½ cup sour cream until everything is well combined, adding creaminess and richness to the filling.
- Prepare the biscuits: While the chicken mixture finishes, bake the Grands biscuits according to the package instructions until golden and fluffy. These will serve as the top crust substitute for the pot pie.
- Serve and enjoy: Spoon the warm chicken and vegetable mixture into bowls or plates and top each serving with a freshly baked biscuit. Enjoy the comfort of a classic pot pie without the fuss of pastry crust.

- Using boneless, skinless chicken breasts ensures lean protein and even cooking.
