My Slow Cooker Chicken Pot Pie is filled with veggies and has a thick sauce. Top this chicken pot pie with crusty freshly baked biscuits.
Comforting recipes like this or chicken and dumplings are great any night of the week.
This is my version of chicken pot pie, it’s not the healthiest version but so easy and good with biscuits. I often make this with canned biscuits but also like to do homemade once in a while.
How to make chicken pot pie in the slow cooker:
- Cream soups – I use 3 Campbell’s soups; bacon, celery, and chicken
- Spices – Thyme, oregano, and pepper
- Veggies – Potatoes, carrots, onions, celery, and peas
- Chicken – I dice my chicken for this recipe, no need to shred later
- Chicken broth
How long should I cook?
- Place the lid on the slow cooker.
- Cook on HIGH for 4 hours or LOW for 8 hours
What should I use for the pot pie topping?
- Homemade Mile High Biscuits
- Canned Biscuits
- Puff Pastry cut into squares
Can I freeze this?
- Freezer in small containers for up to 3 months.
- Thaw in the fridge before needing to use.
- Warm in microwave or stovetop. Make fresh biscuits for topping.

I think the cooking times are wrong. Shouldn’t it be 4 hours on high and 8 hours on low?
Going to make this recipe this week along with a few others. Love your site and simple recipes. Some of them of course aren’t the healthiest but I eat healthy and quasi unhealthy as well and sometimes ease for sanity is better. The campbell soups do use too much salt but I say if it is too salty and you have issues with salt then do not cook this lol/
My question is since I cannot find Cream of Bacon anywhere ( and I live in the south so go figure) can I substitute it. I looked up the ingredients so I think I can use a Cream of Mushroom and add some cooked bacon and smoke flavor.
Canned soups are not really for people with dietary issues to be honest but if its not an issue then a simple meal sometimes is better than nothing.
You really can use any kind of cream soup. I love cream of mushroom in all recipes.
Wal-Mart has cream of bacon soup
Can you use left over chicken??
yes, that will work fine.
Instead of low for 8 hours, can I put it on high for 4 or 5 hours? I have tried many of your recipes. All are fantastically delicious. Thank you for them.
Nene
Yes, that should work fine. Sometimes I do 5 on high. The potatoes can take a while to cook.
How many people does this recipe serve? I would need it for about 20 people.
It serves about 8-10.
A question—this is my 3rd time asking this question—DO I HAVE TO BROWN OR COOK CHICKEN BEFORE PUTTING IN SLO-COOKER ???
No, it’s not nessesary.
If you use the “condensed” version of the cream soups, are you adding a can of water to the crockpot for each can as well?
Do you put the chicken in raw? I feel as tho I should brown it ?!
You don’t have to, but can if you’d like.
I have trouble with serving amount. Many recipes say serves six, or eight etc, but do not give amount of serving, something measurable, like cups or ounces. So what is the serving size for this recipe? Thanks.
Hi Nick. Because I’m a one person show making dinner for my family I don’t have time or the tools to measure an entire recipe into cups and ounces after it’s done cooking. Mostly the “serves 8” is approximate for how many I think the recipe would feed.
Thanks. I plan to make this soon, and will measure the yield in cups, and post it here. I wish slow cooker makers mark inside of the pot with measurement, or furnish a graduated scale that will tell the amount of volume.
can the biscuits be put on top of the casserole in the crockpot with a paper towel to absorb any condensation from the lid and will they “bake” like that? I’ve seen recipes that do that I just can’t find one.
Hi Barbara! That would turn out like chicken and dumplings, even with the paper towel on top. Here is my chicken dumpling recipe. 🙂 https://www.themagicalslowcooker.com/slow-cooker-chicken-and-dumplings/
If I do not want to use can soup because of the salt, fat etc. Could I make a cream sauce and add chicken broth?
Yes they may work! I have often used the healthy choice cream soup.
Could you freeze the “fixings” and then use in a crock pot later?
The only thing that wouldn’t do well is the potatoes, I suppose you could add a fresh potato to the slow cooker along with the freezer pack. I hope that helps!
love most of your recipes but this one is filled with canned soup, lot’s of fat, calories and tons of preservatives, ( i know you need to appeal to most ppl who don’t care ) would be much healthier making your own cream of soups..thank you for not using creamed soup too often!
I love the taste of creamed soups. But I agree 100% that it shouldn’t be used in every meal, I use it in meals only once or twice a week.
I have this in the crock pot now! My husband is not a “soup” person – so I did two pounds of chicken and will serve with some sort of salad. I feel if I fill it up more he will become a “soup” person LOL. I do NOT know what I was thinking but when dumping my cream of’s in I used mushroom instead of chicken! I think the overall outcome will still be good. I thought about adding the can of chicken to it – but I cannot make up my mind!
DO YOU ADD WATER TO SOUP OR JUST USE THE CONCENTRATE. THANKS JOE
no, don’t add water. 🙂
Just saw the answer to my question. Thanks!
Ooops. I added water. Will is mess up the recipe?
It will be fine. 🙂
