-
Chicken (whole pieces)

Diced onion & garlic
-
Frozen veggies

Cream of chicken soup

Chicken broth

Remove the chicken, shred with two forks, then return to the slow cooker.
4. Add Cream + Thicken

Stir in the heavy cream or half-and-half.

If mixture is too thin, mix 2 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp cold water in a small bowl, then stir into the crockpot.
-
Let cook for another 15–30 minutes on high to thicken.
5. Bake Your Topping
-
While the filling finishes, bake your biscuits/pastry topping according to package or recipe directions.
-
Optional: Brush with butter or egg wash for a golden top.
6. Serve

Spoon the creamy chicken pot pie filling into bowls and top with a warm biscuit, pastry square, or crust piece.
