Slow-Cooker Chicken Pot Pie

(2)

We took all the flavors of classic pot pie and made it super-easy to pull together in the crock pot. Look for ready-to-bake biscuits with minimal ingredients to keep it healthy. Biscuits tend to be high in sodium, so we advise only half a biscuit per serving if you're watching your salt intake.

Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons plus 1/3 cup all-purpose flour, divided

  • 1 tablespoon poultry seasoning

  • 1 teaspoon salt, divided

  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces

  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

  • 8 ounces mushrooms, quartered

  • 2 ½ cups low-sodium chicken broth

  • 3 medium carrots, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

  • 1 large onion, chopped

  • 1 (1 pound) package ready-to-bake biscuits

  • 2 cups frozen peas, thawed

  • ¼ teaspoon ground pepper

Directions

  1. Combine 6 tablespoons flour with poultry seasoning and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a shallow bowl. Dredge chicken thighs in the mixture to coat completely; transfer to a plate.

  2. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add half the chicken and cook until well browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side; transfer to a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker. Reduce heat to medium and repeat with another 1 tablespoon oil and the remaining chicken. Arrange the chicken in an even layer in the slow cooker.

  3. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring often, for 2 minutes. Sprinkle the remaining 1/3 cup flour over the mushrooms and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute more. Add broth and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook, stirring, until hot and bubbling, about 2 minutes. Pour the mixture over the chicken in the slow cooker. Stir in carrots and onion.

  4. Cover and cook until the chicken is falling-apart tender, 4 hours on High or 7 to 8 hours on Low.

  5. Meanwhile, bake biscuits according to package directions.

  6. When the chicken is ready, stir in peas. Cover and cook until the peas are heated through, 5 to 10 minutes more. Season with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper. Halve the biscuits and top each serving with half a biscuit. (Save the remaining biscuit halves for another use.)

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
