Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, or thighs
- 2 (10.5 oz) cans cream of chicken soup
- 2 (10.5 oz) cans cream of celery soup
- 12 oz frozen mixed vegetables
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder, divided
- 2 teaspoons onion powder, divided
- 2 teaspoons black pepper, divided
- 1 (16.3 oz) can homestyle biscuits, or homemade drop biscuits
Instructions
- Prep the crock pot: Start by spraying your crock pot with non-stick spray. Trust me, this step will save you a ton of time during cleanup.
- Layer the chicken and season: Lay your chicken breasts (or thighs) at the bottom of the crock pot. Season them with half of your garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. It’s important to season here because it helps the flavor infuse directly into the chicken.
- Add the soups: Pour the cream of chicken and cream of celery soups over the chicken, covering it completely. If you’re feeling adventurous, try adding a splash of milk to thin out the soup a bit. It creates an even creamier texture.
- Toss in the veggies: Scatter your frozen mixed vegetables over the soups. These will cook perfectly in the crock pot and soak up all the flavors. Add the remaining garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper on top.
- Cook low and slow: Place the lid on the crock pot and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 4-6 hours. You want the chicken to be fully cooked and easy to shred. If you’re in a hurry, high works fine, but the flavors develop more deeply on low.
- Bake the biscuits: About 15-20 minutes before you’re ready to eat, bake your biscuits according to package directions. You want them warm and flaky for serving.
- Shred the chicken: Right before the biscuits finish baking, use two forks to shred the chicken in the crock pot. Stir everything together so that the shredded chicken is evenly coated with the creamy mixture and vegetables.
- Serve and enjoy: You can either serve the chicken pot pie mixture with a biscuit on the side or split the biscuits in half and top them with the mixture. Either way, it’s pure comfort in every bite!
Notes
When it comes to serving, presentation is half the fun. For a casual family meal, I love to serve the chicken pot pie in shallow bowls with the biscuits right on top. If you’re having guests over, consider cutting the biscuits in half and placing them on the side so everyone can assemble their plate just how they like it.
You can also get creative with garnishes! Fresh parsley or thyme sprinkled over the top adds a nice pop of color and freshness to each serving. If you want to get a bit fancy, serve with a side salad of mixed greens or a simple veggie medley to balance out the richness of the dish.
