A friend of mine posted this recipe on Facebook because she said it was so good. I have to agree. I loved it!!! It was so easy to make too.
Crock-pot Chicken Pot Pie
Ingredients:
4-5 boneless skinless chicken breast
1 small onion, diced
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup chicken broth, approximately
3 cans of cream of chicken soup
2 bags of frozen mixed vegetables
A few pats of butter - optional
2 rolls of Pillsbury biscuits (more depending on how many you want to feed)
Directions:
Layer in crock-pot. Cook on low for about 4-5 hours. When chicken is fully cooked, remove from crock-pot and shred. Return to crock-pot.
The recipe calls for cutting biscuits into pieces and placing them on top for the last hour. My friend recommended that I bake the biscuits separately because she tried it that way and didn't like it. I may try it in the crock-pot next time just to see if I like it. Once the biscuits are cooked (if baking separately), break in half and scoop the mixture over the top.
This one is a keeper too. There are very few recipes that I have tried that I didn't want to make again.
This picture is of the food in the crock-pot (obviously). I wanted to show you what it looks like all cooked but I wasn't thinking and forgot to take a picture until it was half gone. I was so excited about eating that taking a picture was the last thing on my mind. lol
Now I will tell you how I changed the recipe a little. I used canned veggies because I wanted to use them up before I got into the frozen ones. I like frozen veggies better but my mom passed the canned ones on to me because she was cleaning out her pantry. I waited until everything cooked about 3 hours before I added the canned veggies. I didn't want them to get all mushy from over cooking.
The only other thing I did differently was that I used 2 cans of cream of chicken soup and 1 can of cream of celery. I normally wouldn't substitute them but I was, once again, trying to use what I had in the house.
The rest of the recipe is the same.
I had a picture of the biscuits too but since those were already half gone I didn't think you really wanted to see them. I'm sure you know what they look like anyway.
