This easy crock pot chicken pot pie is an easy recipe full of classic flavor. Tender chicken and vegetables in a creamy sauce is served topped with your favorite biscuits for a simple, rustic meal that satisfies your belly and your heart.
Chicken pot pie is classic comfort food that everyone loves. For years, I made it the old fashioned way, pouring a simmered filling over a crust, topping with another crust, and baking in the oven. Eventually, I figured out that using my crock pot made things so much easier. And we all love delicoius.
This recipe was inspired by another chicken pot pie variation on my site, and it pairs well with this rich chocolate lava cake for dessert.

How to Make Crock Pot Chicken Pot Pie

Storage
Refrigerate this crock pot chicken pot pie in an air-tight container for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze it for up to 3 months in an air-tight, freezer-safe container. Defrost overnight before reheating.
To reheat the pot pie, add it to a saucepan over medium-low heat and cook until heated through. You can also portion it into bowls and microwave it covered at 1-minute intervals until hot.
What to Serve with Crock Pot Chicken Pot Pie
This pot pie is a full meal on its own, so there's no need for sides. Instead, I have some great desserts you can serve after you've finished your pot pie.
Tips
- Dice your potatoes roughly the same size for even cooking.
- A frozen vegetable mix of peas, carrots, corn, and green beans offers the classic veggie mixture.
- Stir the sour cream into the soup at the end so it doesn't curdle.
- Turn off the heat when you remove the chicken for shredding. This cools down the mixture perfectly for adding the sour cream.
FAQ
You can cook it on high, but it is preferred to cook on low as it will prevent the chicken from drying out.
Yes, you can! Just add an extra hour or two to the cooking time. Wait for an hour before adding the frozen vegetables so they don't overcook.
You can assemble the ingredients for the chicken pot pie right in the crock pot and keep it in your fridge for 48 hours before cooking. It reheats so well, you can also make the pot pie ahead of time, leave it in the slow cooker, and start reheating it a few hours before serving it.

Notes
- If you don’t have low-sodium chicken broth, you can use regular chicken broth and reduce the amount of salt used in the recipe.
- When dicing the potatoes, make sure they are all roughly the same size to ensure even cooking.
- You can also use frozen diced potatoes instead of Yukon gold potatoes.
- I recommend using a frozen vegetable mix that has peas, carrots, corn, and green beans for the best flavor and texture.
- If you don’t have fresh garlic, you can use garlic powder instead.
- The chicken is fully cooked through when the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.

JR
So I thought the sour cream was left off the recipe on accident and I added it in with the other stuff to cook is it going to mess it up?
Ryan Allen
It won't mess it up. But because it is a dairy product it can separate during the cooking process so it is not as creamy.
Stacy
This is a delicious meal! Has anyone made it in an instant pot?
Ryan Allen
I am so glad you enjoyed it and I haven't tried it in an instant pot.
Stacy
UPDATE! I used my instant pot and set it for manual pressure, high for 30 minutes. It came out pretty good! I may try 25 minutes or layer it differently next time as the chicken seared a bit on the bottom and the veggies were a little soft. Overall, it was a success though!
Ryan Allen
Thanks for sharing!
Katie
I am going to make this with fresh vegetables do you think that will still work?
Ryan Allen
Yes, it is so good with fresh vegetables.
