    Instructions

    Are you ready to cook your delicious chicken pot pies? You can have this meal ready to serve in just six easy steps

    Step 1: Fill your slow cooker

    Coat the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray. Add onions, chicken breasts, mixed veggies, chicken broth, salt, pepper and celery seed into the slow cooker. Cook on high for 2-3 hours or on slow for 5-7 hours.

    Step 2: Make your filling

    After the mixture is finished, remove the chicken breast and shred using two forks. Set aside. Over medium heat, melt the butter. Once completely melted, add in the flour and milk. Stir until the mixture is smooth and thick.

    Step 3: Return filling to slow cooker


    Add the shredded chicken and the butter mixture into the slow cooker. Cook on high for an additional 30 minutes. Remove frozen pie shells from the freezer to begin thawing.

    Step 4: Fill your pie shells


    When the pot pie filling is complete, remove from heat and spoon into pie shells evenly. Fill up both pie shells with pot pie filling.

    Step 5: Cover with your crescent rolls

    Open crescent rolls and place the uncooked dough on top of the shells, covering evenly.

    Step 6: Bake your chicken pot pie

    Bake chicken pot pies according to the directions on the crescent roll packaging. When done, remove from heat and serve immediately. Enjoy!

    Hint: use a large spoon to fill your pot pies, for easy and quick filling.

    Substitutions

    Don't have the correct ingredients on hand? Or want to change something up? Here are some helpful tips for you to change up this Slow Cooker Chicken pot pie with pie crust.

    • Crescent Rolls - Don't have crescent rolls on hand? Use another pie crust on top of your pot pies.
    • Mixed Veggies - I like to use frozen mixed vegetable blend, but you can use canned also if you like.
    • Broth - vegetable broth would taste amazing in place of the chicken broth.

    Variations

    Want to personalize this Slow Cooker Chicken Pot Pie recipe? Here are some of my tried and true tips for changing up this recipe.

    • Cream of chicken soup - For a creamy filling, add one can of cream of chicken soup to your chicken while it is cooking.
    • Celery - Do you like celery in your pot pie? Add in some fresh diced celery to your chicken while it is cooking for additional flavor.
    • Lima Beans - I have a friend that loves lima beans in her pot pie. Drain one can of baby lima beans and add them in the last 30 minutes of your filling cooking, if you like the additional ingredient.
