Slow Cooker Chicken Pot Pie

For Valentine's Day we decided to stay in.  It is super expensive to eat out on Valentine's Day around here so we opted for a quiet night in with a bottle of wine, cupcakes and a nice homemade meal.  I decided to make Slow Cooker Chicken Pot Pie; I had seen this recipe on another blog and figured it looked good enough to give it a try.  It was also super easy to put together and given that it was a slow cocker recipe I threw it together, went to work and everything was essentially ready when I got home.  We ended up splitting the cooking because unlike a 'regular' pot pie this recipe is served over biscuits - so Adam ended up making his delicious homemade buttermilk biscuits to go along with dinner!  It more or less ended up being like a chicken stew served over biscuits but it was so good none the less!

 

Slow Cooker Chicken Pot Pie

 Ingredients

3 - 4 large bonless chicken breaks

1 large onion

1 cup celery

1.5 - 2 cans cream of chicken soup

1 can cream of chicken & herb soup

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 bag frozen vegetables (corn, peas, green beans and carrots)



 Directions

Grease the slow cocker with 'Pam' ~ place the chicken breasts on the bottom of the slow cooker ~ chop the onion and celery (seperately and set aside) ~ in a large mixing bowl mix the soups, onion and black pepper ~ pour the soup mixture over the chicken ~ place the celery on top of the chicken mixture ~ ocver and allow to cook for 8 - 10 hours ~ about 1 hour before serving shred the chicken (do this in the slow cooker with a fork and knife - the chicken should easily fall apart) ~ add the frozen veggies and stir ~ recover and cook veggies for an additional 45 minutes - 1 hour (less if you turn the slow cooker up to 'high') ~ in the meantime bake your favorite biscuits ~ serve the stew over sliced homemade biscuits.  Enjoy!

 

The stew/biscuit combo was hands down delicious!  It surprised me that it was THAT good!  And better yet - it easily reheated for lunch the next day.  I will definitely be adding this recipe into the rotation!
