Crockpot Chicken Pot Pie is one of my favorite comfort food recipes! It’s creamy, hearty, and always hits the spot. This dish is filled with bites of chicken, a mix of veggies, and potatoes, then finished with lots of fluffy biscuits on top. I love how easy it is to toss this chicken pot pie together — there’s nothing better than letting the slow cooker do the work for you!
Slow Cooker Chicken Pot Pie with Biscuits
I love making this slow cooker recipe for chicken pot pie early in the day. That way, when everyone’s hungry for dinner, it’s ready to go!
Basically, this is just a classic chicken pot pie that’s slow cooked to perfection in the Crock Pot instead of baking in the oven. Also, I’ve swapped the traditional pie crust for some refrigerated biscuits, which makes this pot pie so much easier!
This pot pie stew is such a comforting weeknight dinner that my family loves! This is one of those Crockpot dinners that almost never leaves me with leftovers–it’s too good to save any for later! I love that my little picky eaters get some veggies on their plate with this cozy winter meal.

Keep it Warm
When serving, I like to set my Crockpot to the “warm” setting so everything stays warm but doesn’t continue to cook. You can keep it there for about 2 hours – great for holiday potlucks!

Prep: Gather the list of ingredients for this slow cooker pot pie recipe. Cut the chicken into small pieces; dice the potatoes, carrots, and celery; mince the parsley; and chop the onions.
Make the Sauce: Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan on the stovetop. Then add 1 tablespoon of minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.

Add the Mixed Veggies: Add a 20 ounce bag of frozen mixed vegetables for the final hour of the cooking time.

Make Garlic Butter: Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in the microwave, and mix in ¼ teaspoon of garlic salt. This is for the biscuits.
Finish and Serve: Serve bowls of this chicken pot pie with a biscuit on top, and brush tops of biscuits with the garlic butter mixture.
How to Store, Freeze, and Reheat
Store leftover Crockpot chicken pot pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days, or in the freezer for 3 months. If you are planning to prep this as a freezer meal, skip the biscuits (bake them fresh when serving) and store portions of the pot pie in resealable bags so they’re easy to thaw and reheat.
Reheat portions on the stovetop over medium heat, stirring until warmed through. Or simply reheat in the microwave in 30-second increments. If frozen, thaw first.
