Ingredients
For the Filling:
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 3 medium carrots, sliced
- 2 medium potatoes, diced (about 1-inch cubes)
- 1 cup frozen peas (or mixed vegetables)
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups chicken broth (low-sodium preferred)
- ½ cup heavy cream (or half-and-half for a lighter option)
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (to thicken the sauce)
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or poultry seasoning)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
For the Topping:
- 1 sheet puff pastry (store-bought or homemade), cut into squares
- OR 4–6 refrigerated biscuits (optional)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
Prepare the Crockpot:
- In a large bowl, toss the chicken pieces with salt, black pepper, and thyme. Place the chicken in the bottom of your crockpot.
- Add the sliced carrots, diced potatoes, chopped onion, minced garlic, and frozen peas to the crockpot.
Make the Sauce:
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, heavy cream, and flour until smooth. Pour the mixture over the ingredients in the crockpot. Stir gently to combine.
Cook the Filling:
4. Cover and cook on low heat for 6-7 hours or high heat for 3-4 hours , until the chicken is tender and the vegetables are cooked through. Stir occasionally if possible to prevent sticking.
Add the Topping:
5. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Transfer the cooked filling to an oven-safe baking dish (or use individual ramekins for smaller portions).
6. Top the filling with puff pastry squares or biscuit dough. Brush the tops with beaten egg for a golden finish.
Bake Until Golden:
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry or biscuits are golden brown and flaky.
Serve and Enjoy:
8. Let the pot pie cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and enjoy this hearty, comforting dish alongside a side salad or crusty bread for a complete meal.
