Instructions

Prepare the Chicken: Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts at the bottom of your slow cooker to form the base of your pot pie filling.
Season the Chicken: Sprinkle the dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, cracked black pepper, and smoked paprika evenly over the chicken to build depth of flavor.
Add Vegetables: Dice the yellow onion and scatter it over the chicken. Then, layer the frozen mixed vegetables on top, ensuring even coverage.
Mix Creamy Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, cream of celery soup, and chicken broth until smooth. Pour this mixture evenly over the layered ingredients in the slow cooker.
Slow Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 5-7 hours, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F, ensuring it’s tender and fully cooked.
Shred Chicken and Add Cream: Once cooked, carefully shred the chicken using two forks directly in the slow cooker. Stir in the heavy cream to enrich the filling’s texture.
Bake Biscuits: Meanwhile, bake the Grands/Jumbo biscuits in the oven according to the package instructions until golden and flaky.
Serve: Spoon the warm chicken pot pie filling into bowls and top each serving with freshly baked biscuits for a comforting meal.

Notes

For a richer flavor, substitute chicken breasts with boneless, skinless chicken thighs.
Fresh garlic can replace garlic powder for a brighter taste.
Use cream of mushroom soup instead of cream of chicken soup for a different flavor profile.
Vegetables can be swapped for fresh peas and carrots if preferred.
To lighten the dish, substitute heavy cream with Greek yogurt or whole milk.
Vegetarian option: Replace chicken broth with vegetable broth and omit chicken, adding more vegetables or a meat substitute.
Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F for food safety.
