Tips for the Best Chicken Pot Pie
- Thicker Filling – Mix 1 tbsp cornstarch with 2 tbsp water and stir into the slow cooker during the last 30 minutes if you want a thicker sauce.
- Veggie Variations – Green beans, corn, or mushrooms make great add-ins.
- Make Ahead – Prep everything the night before and refrigerate. Just start the slow cooker in the morning.
- Biscuit Options – Use puff pastry, crescent rolls, or even drop dumplings instead of canned biscuits.
What to Serve With Chicken Pot Pie
- A fresh green salad with a light vinaigrette.
- Steamed green beans or roasted vegetables.
- Cranberry sauce for a sweet contrast.
Storing and Reheating
- Refrigerator: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Freezer: Freeze the filling (without biscuits) for up to 2 months. Reheat and top with fresh biscuits when serving.
- Reheating: Warm on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of broth or cream if needed.
