Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, green beans)
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes (optional for extra flavor)
- 2 cups chicken broth or stock
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 package ready-made pie crusts or homemade crust for topping
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
- Cooked potatoes or extra vegetables (optional for variations)
Instructions
- Dice the chicken into bite-sized pieces. In a large skillet, heat olive oil or butter and lightly brown the chicken for added flavor.
- Prepare vegetables and potatoes if using, with a vegetable prep tool for quick chopping.
- In your crockpot, add the cooked chicken, mixed vegetables, diced onion, garlic, and diced tomatoes if using. Pour in chicken broth, season with thyme, salt, and pepper, then stir to combine.
- Cover with the pie crust, ensuring the crust hangs over the edges for sealing.
- Set the crockpot to low for 4-6 hours or high for 2-3 hours. During cooking, flavors meld and chicken becomes tender.
- Optional: For a crispy crust, bake the assembled pie at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
Notes
- Use homemade or store-bought pie crust depending on your time constraints for a quick crockpot chicken pot pie.
- Add herbs such as rosemary or parsley for extra flavor.
- If you prefer a crispy crust, bake in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes until golden.
- For gluten-free, substitute traditional pie crust with a gluten-free crust or biscuit topping.
