Ingredients

  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or 3 small/medium size)
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cans (10.5 oz each) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 bag (12 oz) frozen mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn, green beans)
  • 1 small sweet onion finely diced
  • 1/2 cup half and half
  • 1 tube (16.3 oz) flaky layers biscuits (8 ct)

Instructions

  • Place the chicken breasts into the slow cooker. Sprinkle the onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper over the chicken trying to coat each one well in the seasonings. 
    2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • Add the cream of chicken soups, frozen mixed vegetables, chopped sweet onion, and milk on top of the chicken. 
    2 cans (10.5 oz each) cream of chicken soup, 1 bag (12 oz) frozen mixed vegetables, 1 small sweet onion, 1/2 cup half and half
  • Cover with the lid and cook on LOW heat for 6-8 hours or HIGH heat for 3-4 hours. I recommend cooking on low heat for the best and most tender results. 
  • During the last 20 minutes of the cook time prepare the biscuits according to the package directions. 
    1 tube (16.3 oz) flaky layers biscuits
  • Use two forks to shred the chicken inside the slow cooker or remove it to a plate to shred (or you can use a hand mixer on low speed inside the slow cooker to shred the chicken) and stir the shredded meat into the sauce until everything is combined. 
  • Serve the chicken pot pie mixture over top a buttery flaky biscuit. Enjoy!
    *You can leave the biscuit whole, or my family likes to split a biscuit in half (hamburger way, lengthwise) and put chicken pot pie over halved biscuits.

Notes

Nutrition Information & Serving Size : There are 8 biscuits so you can easily get 8 servings from this recipe, however, for a good healthy portion of dinner I find that 6 servings is safe. Some of my kids eat 1.5 biscuits or even 2 biscuits. And, I always bake up two packages of flaky biscuits because my family loves them so much with this dinner.
Chicken Breasts : You could also use boneless, skinless chicken thighs or even chicken tenderloins. 
Cream of Chicken Soup : There are lots of different options here; cream of celery, cream of onion, cream of mushroom with garlic, cream of chicken with herbs, or try using a mix & match of two different creamed soup flavors. I like using one cream of chicken soup + one cream of chicken with herbs soup.
Milk : Half and half is the best choice, as lower-percentage milks can make the dish too runny. Chicken broth is another substitute for milk if wanted, but the sauce won't be nearly as creamy and thick.
Biscuits : Buy the refrigerated biscuits, frozen ones, or make your own. I use the flaky layers butter biscuits but you can use buttermilk, southern style, or even crescents if wanted. I always make 2 cans of the flaky layers biscuits.
