Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 3-4 breasts) You can also use thighs for extra richness.
  • 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, green beans)
  • 1 can condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup Optional for richer flavor.
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water For thickening.
  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough or 1 roll refrigerated pie crust For topping.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the crock pot.
  2. Pour in the cream of chicken soup, optional cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, and milk.
  3. Sprinkle in thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. Add the frozen mixed vegetables on top.
Cooking
  1. Cover and cook on LOW for 4 to 5 hours or on HIGH for 2 to 3 hours until the chicken reaches 165°F and is tender.
  2. Remove the chicken to a plate and shred with two forks.
  3. Return shredded chicken to the crock pot and stir to combine.
  4. Stir the cornstarch slurry into the mixture and cook on HIGH for 10 to 15 minutes until thickened.
Finishing Touches
  1. Arrange biscuit dough or pie crust over the top of the filling.
  2. Cook on LOW for 30 to 40 minutes if using biscuits in the crock pot, or bake at 375°F for 20 to 25 minutes until golden.
  3. Let the finished pot pie rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Using leftover rotisserie chicken can reduce cooking time. Optional ingredients like frozen pearl onions or a splash of white wine can enhance flavor. To prevent a soggy crust, drain excess liquid before adding the topping.
