Step By Step How to Prepare Slow Cooker Chicken Pot Pie

1. In a slow cooker, combine the chicken, peas and carrots, onions, chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Allow the colors and textures to mingle, creating a symphony of flavors that will nourish you.
2. Stir well to combine, taking a moment to appreciate the beautiful mix of ingredients as they come together.
3. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 4-5 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender. During this time, let the fragrant aroma fill your home, inviting coziness and calm.
4. Once cooked, shred the chicken using two forks and stir back into the mixture. This step allows the chicken to release its savory essence into the broth.
5. Preheat the oven to 425°F, allowing the warmth to build, preparing for the final satisfying step of our pot pie journey.
6. Roll out the pie crusts in a pie dish, pouring the chicken mixture into the crust. Take your time and feel the crust as you place it, a gentle reminder of comfort.
7. Cover with the second pie crust, seal the edges, and cut slits in the top to allow steam to escape. The slits are little breaths of relief, allowing the filling to bubble warmly inside.
8. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown, giving you time to reflect on the nurturing meal you are creating.
9. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. This moment is an invitation to pause and take a deep breath, savoring the love that went into your creation.
