📝 Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to serve 6–8 hungry folks:

• 1½ lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs

• 4 cups chicken broth

• 1½ cups diced carrots

• 1½ cups diced celery

• 1 cup diced onion

• 1½ cups diced potatoes (Yukon gold or russet work best)

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 tsp dried thyme

• 1 tsp salt, ½ tsp pepper (or to taste)

• 1 cup frozen peas (added at the end)

• 1½ cups heavy cream or half-and-half

• 2 tbsp flour (for thickening)

• 2 tbsp butter

• Optional: Refrigerated biscuit dough, puff pastry, or pie crust rounds (for serving)

🕒 Directions

1. Load the slow cooker:
   Add chicken, broth, carrots, celery, onion, potatoes, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper to your slow cooker. Stir gently to combine.

2. Cook low and slow:
   Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender.

3. Shred the chicken:
   Remove chicken, shred it with two forks, and return it to the soup.

4. Make the cream base:
   In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour to form a roux, cooking for about 1 minute. Slowly whisk in the cream, stirring constantly until slightly thickened. This creates a velvety texture without curdling.

5. Finish the soup:
   Pour the cream mixture into the slow cooker. Stir in the peas. Let cook on low for another 20–30 minutes until heated through.

6. Serve with a crusty topper:
   For the full pot pie experience, serve with baked biscuits, pie crust rounds, or puff pastry on the side — or right on top.
