Crockpot Chicken Pot Pie


If you are looking of an easy meal to put on the table after a long busy day at work or running errands, here is a good one.  I found this recipe online and made a few adjustments.  
First of all, if your crockpot insert can safely go in the oven at 350 degrees, you only have one pot to deal with.  If not, crockpot and baking dish and you're done.

3 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts or 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
2 cans cream of chicken soup
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 cup chicken broth (I used reduced sodium because of the canned soups)
1 medium onion, diced (make your life easier by using the pre-diced seasoning mix from grocery stores)
1 stalk of celery, cut in bite size pieces
16 ounce bag of frozen mixed vegetables* or 2  14 ounce cans of mixed vegetables with potatoes,drained
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon of poultry seasoning
1 1/2 tablespoons of dried parsley flakes
1 small bay leaf (optional)
1 can of Grand Buttermilk Flaky Biscuits

Spray the insert of your crockpot.  Do not use a liner if you are going to be putting it in the oven later. 
Pour in soup mixes, garlic powder, pepper, paprika, poultry seasoning, parsley flakes, chopped onions, chopped celery, chopped potatoes (if your mixed veggies don't have them *see below), and chicken broth.  Put chicken on top and press to the bottom.  Make sure they are covered in mixture.  Toss in bay leaf.  Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours.  
Thirty minutes prior to serving,  use two forks to shred the chicken into pieces and pour in mixed vegetables. Stir.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  While oven is preheating, cut each biscuit into four pieces.  
If you are going to bake in the crockpot insert, you just top with biscuits and bake until biscuits are golden brown.
If you are using a different baking dish, spoon crockpot mixture in pan and top with biscuit pieces.  Bake until biscuits are golden brown.  Usually 16-20 minutes.     
The bottom of the biscuits might be a little "wet"for some people.  You can bake your biscuits separately and lay on top of the mixture prior to serving.  Your choice. 


* Frozen mixed vegetable rarely have diced potatoes.  So, you may want to dice a large baking potato and put in when you add the chicken.   Canned mixed vegetables generally contain potatoes so you don't have to add the fresh potato.
