Instructions
Creating the Slow Cooker Chicken Pot Pie is a simple, straightforward process. Just follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare Chicken: Cut the boneless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
2. Add Ingredients to Slow Cooker: In your slow cooker, combine chicken, carrots, celery, peas, onion, chicken broth, thyme, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
3. Cook on Low: Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
4. Thicken the Mixture: About 30 minutes before serving, mix the flour with the heavy cream in a small bowl until smooth. Stir this mixture into the slow cooker.
5. Prepare the Pie Crust: If using a refrigerated pie crust, roll it out into a circle large enough to cover your slow cooker. If using homemade, roll it out to the same size.
6. Top the Pot Pie: Place the rolled-out pie crust over the chicken and vegetable mixture in the slow cooker. Allow it to rest on top.
7. Cook a Little Longer: Cover and cook for another 30 minutes on high until the crust is golden and flaky.
8. Serve: Carefully scoop out portions and serve hot, enjoying the savory goodness!
These straightforward steps will lead you to an incredible Slow Cooker Chicken Pot Pie that warms both the heart and stomach effortlessly.
