          Variations and substitutions<\/h2>\n

          Chicken thighs<\/strong> \u2013 Swap out chicken breasts with boneless, skinless chicken thighs for a richer flavor. Whether you choose chicken breasts or thighs, opt for a boneless cut as it is easier to shred, and you don\u2019t risk bones being left behind in the pie.<\/p>\n

          Vegetarian version<\/strong> \u2013 Skip the chicken altogether and make it a vegetarian pot pie by adding extra frozen vegetables or substituting with plant-based proteins like tofu or chickpeas.<\/p>\n

          Thicker filling<\/strong> \u2013 For a heartier filling, reduce chicken broth to \u00bd cup. Alternatively, add a cornstarch slurry (2 tablespoons cornstarch + 2 tablespoons water) once the shredded chicken is back in the slow cooker. Extend cooking time by 15-30 minutes on high for proper thickening with the cornstarch slurry.<\/p>\n

          Creamier filling<\/strong> \u2013 For a creamy twist, stir in \u00bd cup of heavy cream or sour cream after adding the shredded chicken back to the pot. Allow the mixture to cook for an additional 15-20 minutes on high.<\/p>\n

          Homemade biscuits<\/strong> \u2013 For those who enjoy baking from scratch, replace the Grands Biscuits with homemade biscuits. You can customize the flavor by adding herbs or cheese to the biscuit dough.<\/p>\n

          Cream soup varieties<\/strong> \u2013 Customize the flavor by experimenting with different cream soups. Cream of mushroom, potato, or broccoli are excellent alternatives to cream of celery. You can also use two cans of cream of chicken if preferred.<\/p>\n

          Fresh vegetables<\/strong> \u2013 Opt for fresh veggies instead of frozen ones. Carrots, celery, corn,\u00a0green beans, and peas work well to maintain a hearty, homemade feel.<\/p>\n

          Experiment with herbs<\/strong> \u2013 Feel free to use additional herbs or spices to customize the flavor profile. Thyme, rosemary, or a pinch of cayenne pepper can add an extra layer of complexity to the dish.<\/p>\n

          Tips for success<\/h2>\n
            \n
          • Mind the sodium<\/strong> \u2013 Since several ingredients in this recipe are already high in sodium, salt was intentionally omitted. However, if you prefer a saltier taste, consider adding \u00bd teaspoon of salt when seasoning the chicken with the other seasonings.<\/li>\n
          • Frozen veggie convenience<\/strong> \u2013 No need to fuss with thawing the veggies beforehand. The convenience of using frozen vegetables straight from the freezer works perfectly in this slow cooker chicken pot pie. Just toss them in and let the magic happen.<\/li>\n
          • Check for doneness<\/strong> \u2013 Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F before shredding and returning it to the slow cooker. This guarantees that the chicken is thoroughly cooked and safe to eat.<\/li>\n
          • Adjust cooking time<\/strong> \u2013 Slow cookers can vary in temperature, so monitor your pot pie toward the end of the recommended cooking time. Adjust the settings as needed to prevent overcooking or undercooking.<\/li>\n
          • Avoid lifting the lid<\/strong> \u2013 Resisting the urge to lift the slow cooker lid during the cooking process helps maintain a steady temperature. Each peek can add extra cooking time, potentially affecting the outcome.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            Storage<\/h2>\n

            Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Store the biscuits in a separate container at room temperature. Leftovers can be reheated in the slow cooker on high, on the stovetop over medium heat, or in the microwave.<\/p>\n

            Leftovers can be frozen for up to three months in an airtight container. Allow the pot pie to cool completely before freezing to avoid condensation, which will create extra moisture once thawed. Thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.<\/p>\n

            Slow Cooker Chicken Pot Pie FAQs<\/h2>\n
            \n
            Can I use bone-in chicken for this recipe?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

            While bone-in chicken can be used, it may require additional cooking time. Boneless cuts are recommended for easier shredding and to eliminate the risk of bones in the pot pie.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

            Can I omit the canned soups and use a homemade sauce?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

            Yes. Cook the chicken and veggies in the slow cooker with 3 cups of chicken stock for 4-5 hours on high or 6-8 hours on low or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. Shred the chicken and return it to the pot with 1\/2 cup of heavy cream and a cornstarch slurry made of 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and 3 tablespoons of water. Cook for an additional 30 minutes on high or until it thickens to your liking.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
