Game-Changing Tips for Creamy, Flavorful Pot Pie!

  • Skip pre-cooking the chicken – The slow cooker works its magic by keeping the chicken juicy. No need to brown it first!
  • Thicken it up without flour – If you want a thicker consistency, stir in some instant mashed potatoes instead of cornstarch or flour. It blends seamlessly and adds extra flavor.
  • Boost the umami – A splash of Worcestershire sauce or a teaspoon of poultry seasoning takes the depth of flavor to another level.
  • Don’t skimp on seasoning – Slow cooking can mellow out flavors, so don’t be afraid to taste and adjust the seasonings before serving.
  • For a golden biscuit topping – If you’re craving that classic pot pie crust, bake some biscuits separately and serve them on top. You’ll get that golden, flaky bite without the extra hassle.
  • Add a fresh touch before serving – A handful of chopped parsley or a squeeze of lemon juice just before serving brightens up the rich flavors beautifully.
  • Make it freezer-friendly – This dish freezes well, but for best results, freeze it before adding the dairy-based soup and add that fresh when reheating.
