Tips, Tricks & Variations
This healthy and comforting chicken pot pie crock pot dinner couldn’t be easier to make! However, here are a few tricks and tricks to help guarantee success:
- Veggies: This is a great meal for when you have extra vegetables in your fridge or freezer that you need to use up. You can use just about any type of fresh or frozen veggies, like carrots, onions, green beans, peas, mushrooms, corn, etc.
- Different Gravy Flavors: Cream of chicken soup and cream of celery soup are included in this easy homemade chicken pot pie recipe, but feel free to change it up to what you have on hand. Cream of mushroom soup, or cream of onion soup, will both work great as well.
- Make Homemade Biscuits: Canned homestyle biscuits work great in this crock pot chicken pot pie, and they’re so easy. However, a fun way to really elevate your pot pie is to make your own fluffy biscuits. We highly recommend our herb drop biscuit recipe!
- Puff Pastry: If you want to make this dish a little fancy, buttery puff pastry is the answer! Once the pot pie filling is fully cooked, you can top it with puff pastry and bake according to the package directions until the puff pastry is golden brown. You can do this in a large casserole dish or in ramekins for individual servings. You can also do this same idea with crescent dough instead of puff pastry!
How to Store and Reheat Leftover Slow Cooker Chicken Pot Pie
It’s important to store the chicken pot pie filling and the biscuits separately, and only combine them when you’re ready to serve the slow cooker pot pie. Otherwise your leftovers will become a soggy mess!
The chicken pot pie filling will last in the fridge for up to 5 days, as long as you store it in an airtight container. The biscuits are best stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the fridge for 1 week. We recommend reheating the filling in the microwave in 30-second increments, until warmed through.
Can You Freeze This?
Definitely! Just as if you’re putting it in the fridge, you shouldn’t freeze the chicken pot pie filling with the biscuits. We don’t recommend freezing the biscuits, those are best made fresh.
Once cooled, freeze the chicken pot pie filling in an airtight container for up to 3 months. For best results, transfer to the fridge to thaw for 24 hours before reheating.

Was easy to make. Plenty for the next day too! I followed directions and it was yummy. Great for a cold snowy winter day!
It tastes good but is very runny More like soup instead of gravy What can I do?
Hi Karen! Did you add some kind of liquid or perhaps add frozen chicken breasts making excess liquid? Either way, you can thicken just about anything sauce-y in a crockpot with a cornstarch slurry! Whisk to combine 2 tablespoons of water with 2 tablespoons of cornstarch and stir it into the sauce. Give everything a good stir and let it cook for about 10 minutes! It should thicken right up!
