  • Total Time: 7
  • Yield: serves 6

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs (cut into chunks)

  • 1 medium onion, diced

  • 2 cups diced potatoes (peeled if desired)

  • 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, green beans, corn)

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup (or substitute with homemade)

  • 1 cup chicken broth (low sodium)

  • ½ cup milk or heavy cream

  • 1 tsp salt (adjust to taste)

  • ½ tsp black pepper

  • 1 tsp dried thyme or poultry seasoning

  • 1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water (for thickening, optional)

Instructions

  • Prep the Ingredients: Dice the chicken, onion, and potatoes. Mince the garlic. Set everything aside for easy layering.

  • Layer in Crock Pot: In a 6-quart crock pot, add the potatoes, onion, garlic, and frozen vegetables. Place the chicken chunks on top.

  • Mix the Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together cream of chicken soup, broth, milk, salt, pepper, and thyme. Pour this over the chicken and vegetables.

  • Cook Low and Slow: Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or on HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and veggies are fork-tender.

  • Thicken the Sauce (Optional): If the sauce is too thin, stir in a slurry made from cornstarch and water. Let it cook uncovered for another 20–30 minutes.

  • Bake Biscuits Separately: About 15 minutes before serving, bake the biscuits according to package directions or use your favorite recipe.

 

  • Serve: Spoon the hot, creamy filling into bowls and top with a warm, golden biscuit. Enjoy every cozy bite!

Notes

  • For a richer sauce, swap milk with heavy cream or half-and-half.

  • Add fresh herbs like parsley or rosemary for a flavor boost.

  • Want a gluten-free version? Use a GF soup base and serve over mashed potatoes or gluten-free biscuits.

  • This recipe is great for freezing—just store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
