How to Make Chicken Pot Pie with Biscuit Topping
Start this dish in the morning or afternoon in just a few easy steps, and you’ll have the most delicious Chicken Pot Pie by dinnertime!
Here’s how to make homemade Crockpot Chicken Pot Pie with a Biscuit Topping:
- First, set a large skillet over medium heat, and add the butter. Once the butter has melted, whisk in the flour until smooth to make a roux. Continue whisking and cook the roux for a few minutes until it’s golden.
- Then stir in the onions and cook until soft. Whisk in the water, chicken base, and poultry seasoning. Keep whisking and simmering to form a gravy.
- Set out a large 6+ quart slow cooker. Carefully pour the gravy into the slow cooker. Add the diced chicken, frozen mixed vegetables, and chopped parsley, and stir well.
- Cover the crock pot and set on HIGH for 3-4 hours or on LOW for 6-7 hours.
- About 30 minutes to dinner time, make the biscuit topping. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees (or the temperature listed on the can of biscuits.) Use kitchen shears to snip 5 biscuits into 8 pieces each. Spread the pieces out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake the biscuits for several minutes until golden brown.
- Once the biscuit pieces are puffy and golden, stir the chicken pot pie filling in the crock pot and place the biscuit topping evenly over the filling.
- Ladle the slow cooker chicken pot pie into bowls, including a few pieces of the biscuit topping in each portion. Sprinkle on a bit more fresh chopped parsley and serve warm.
If you know that you’ll have leftovers, keep portions of the biscuit pieces to the side and store them separately from the filling. Both the chicken pot pie filling and biscuits will keep well for up to 3 days in the fridge.

How Can I Make Crock Pot Chicken Pot Pie with a Pastry Crust?
Missing the pastry top? You can skip the canned biscuits if you like. Instead, lay a refrigerated roll-out pie crust on a baking sheet. Use a pizza cutter to cut the pie crust into 1-inch diamonds. Then bake according to the package instructions. When ready to serve, sprinkle the pie crust pieces over the top of the chicken pot pie filling.

Delicious! The kids loved it too.
My kids love this for dinner. Easy to make and tastes great.
This is a keeper!! I switched the first two steps and cooked the onions in butter before adding the flour. Needed some milk at the end to thin it out a little bit. I was going to serve over mashed potatoes but decided just to cube my boiled potatoes and mix them right in. As suggested, I kept the biscuits on the side for leftovers.
Delish. Thanks for sharing!

This was great! Tastes just as good as any other chicken pot pie, but in my opinion, biscuits are a little easier to make than pie crust, so this will be my new go-to recipe rather than making an actual pie. This was about 5-6 servings for us, though, not 8.
this is the most easy and delicious recipe for when I want some basic comfort food with minimal effort!
I would like to make this more creamier . Should I add heavy cream? And how much?
Hi Michelle,
Yes, you can add heavy cream… I’d start with about 1/2 cup. :)
Made this for supper tonight. It was super easy and tasted great! My whole family enjoyed it!
Thank you for the recipe….
This was a huge hit at my house! It is so comforting!
It is starting to get chilly here, so this just the recipe I was looking for. It smelled and tasted amazing. I will make it again before Fall is over I’m sure.
A easy favorite comfort food that I can prep and set aside until dinner time!
