Total Time 6 hours 10 minutes
Servings: 6

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1 can 10.5 oz cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables peas, carrots, corn, and green beans
  • 1 medium potato diced
  • ½ cup chopped onion
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ cup heavy cream or milk
  • 1 package refrigerated biscuit dough or puff pastry for topping
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter optional for brushing

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Prepare the Base
  2. Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your Crockpot. Add the diced potatoes, onions, and frozen vegetables on top.
  3. Step 2: Add the Creamy Sauce
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Pour this mixture evenly over the chicken and vegetables in the slow cooker.
  5. Step 3: Cook on Low and Slow
  6. Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours. The chicken should be tender and easy to shred.
  7. Step 4: Shred and Mix
  8. Once cooked, remove the chicken, shred it using two forks, and return it to the pot. Stir in the heavy cream (or milk) for that smooth, creamy texture.
  9. Step 5: Add the Biscuit Topping
  10. If you want that golden, flaky finish, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the biscuits or puff pastry on a baking sheet and bake until golden brown, about 10–12 minutes.
  11. Step 6: Serve
  12. Spoon the creamy chicken mixture into bowls and top each serving with a warm biscuit or puff pastry square. Brush with melted butter for an extra buttery flavor.

Notes

  • Use chicken thighs for extra tenderness and flavor.
  • Add mushrooms or celery for a heartier texture.
  • Make it gluten-free by using gluten-free biscuits or skipping the topping entirely.
  • Want more flavor? Add a splash of white wine or extra herbs like rosemary.
  • For a thicker filling, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water and stir it in 30 minutes before serving.
