Why This Recipe Works

One of the meals that is most memorable from childhood is traditional, comforting chicken pot pie. I remember my stepmom pulling hot savory pot pies out of the oven on busy nights and just totally devouring them when they were still steaming hot and bubbling with deliciousness.

Is there a better comfort food on the planet? A perfectly baked crust that holds a savory, hot, delicious secret inside? Nothing could be better!

For this recipe, I wanted to transform the classic American dinner into an easy crock pot meal. Let the insides cook while you work (or clean, or shop or take care of the kiddos) and top it off with an easily-baked biscuit! It's a comforting dream come true!

Recipe Notes

If you have the time, I always recommend going LOW and SLOW!
Add poultry seasoning to the chicken before placing it into the crock pot for an extra punch of flavor.
This is a great recipe to serve at a party and it also works great as a week night dinner.
I did not use heavy cream in this recipe in order to keep it on the healthy side. For a creamier recipe, add 1/2 to 1 cup of heavy whipping cream at the same time the peas and corn are added.
Use chicken thighs in place of breasts (go boneless!) if you're wanting more of a dark meat pot pie.

Can I Use Shredded Meat From a Rotisserie Chicken For This Recipe

Skip adding the chicken to the crock pot in the beginning and instead add meat that is already cooked and pulled from a Rotisserie chicken toward the end, when the peas and corn are added. This will save you a few minutes of effort!
