Crock Pot Method

  • Melt the butter on the bottom of the Crock Pot over high heat. Add the onions, celery, and carrots. Toss to coat in the butter.

  • Pour in the chicken broth, wine, and cream of chicken soup. Add 1/2 tsp turmeric, 1/2 tsp dried thyme, and 1/2 tsp rosemary.
  • Heat on low for 8-10 hours, or on high for 4-5.
  • Stir in the half and half and frozen peas, heat on high for 30 minutes.
  • Feel free to taste the filling and season with salt/pepper if desired.
  • Meanwhile, prepare biscuits in the oven according to package instructions. You’ll want to make a minimum of four, (at least 1 for each person).
  • Add the golden brown biscuits to the top of the filling in the slow cooker, or slice each biscuit in half and spoon pot pie filling over the bottom biscuit and and top it with the other biscuit.

Notes

Note 1:

  • I like to purchase a rotisserie chicken for this meal because I use the chicken for the filling and make an easy chicken bruth  with the carcass that I also use for the filling. This gives it ultimate homemade flavor!

Note 2:

  • For the Crock Pot and Instant Pot methods, you can also transfer the prepared filling to a casserole dish and pour the Bisquick batter on top and bake it from there for the full casserole version.
