Crock Pot Chicken Pot Pie is probably the most classic comfort food dish to exist. Chicken and veggies are cooked in a creamy sauce and the whole dish is topped with biscuits. You're sure to love this version as it's made in the Crock Pot, doing all of the hard work for you.

Update: This post was originally shared in January 2016. In January 2021 it was republished with new photos and an improved recipe.

It's not quite "chicken pot pie" weather around these parts yet, but I've been craving comfort food and recipes that don't involve standing in the kitchen. This recipe definitely meets those requirements as chicken pot pie is like the quintessential comfort food and the slow cooker does the majority of the work.

But the main reason why I love this recipe is because there aren't any overly processed ingredients. Most crock pot recipes call for canned cream of whatever soup, and which is great in a pinch, but this sauce only requires a few minutes to make it, and you know you're eating a sauce that's not full of sodium and unpronounceable preservatives.

What is chicken pot pie?

Chicken pot pie is a savory pie made with chicken, veggies and a creamy sauce. Traditional pot pies have the filling layered between two pie crusts, but this crock pot version uses biscuits as a topping instead.

steps for making chicken pot pie in the crock pot

how to make crock pot chicken pot pie

First, prepare your sauce: Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat then add in the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Whisk in the flour, then slowly pour in the chicken stock, whisking until no lumps remain. Add in the spices and whisk to combine. Remove from the heat and set aside.

Then, fill up the crock pot: Season chicken with salt and pepper and place into a 6 quart or larger crock pot. Add potatoes, carrots, celery and onions on top. Pour the sauce over the veggies and chicken and top with two bay leaves.

Next, cook the pot pie: Set your slow cooker to low and cook for 6.5 hours. When 30 minutes are remaining, add in the corn and peas and stir to combine.

Finally, make the biscuits: If using store-bought biscuits, bake them when there's 15-20 minutes remaining on the crock pot.

To serve: After the pot pie has cooked for 6.5 hours, use two forks to shred the chicken. Divide the chicken pot pie into bowls and top with 2 biscuits.
