Vegetables:
- 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn)
- 1 medium onion (diced)
Seasonings and Liquids:
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 can (10.5 ounces / 298 grams) cream of chicken soup

Instructions
- Layer cubed chicken, mixed vegetables, and diced onion into the crock pot, creating a hearty base for the pot pie.
- Pour chicken broth and cream of chicken soup over the ingredients, then sprinkle garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper throughout the mixture.
- Gently stir the contents to ensure even distribution of seasonings and liquids.
- Cover and slow cook on low temperature for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, allowing chicken to become tender and vegetables to soften.
- Thirty minutes before serving, introduce heavy cream into the crock pot and taste the mixture, adjusting seasonings as needed.
- Preheat oven to 350F while the chicken mixture continues to simmer.

- Top each portion with freshly baked biscuits, creating a rustic and comforting presentation.
- Garnish with finely chopped fresh parsley for a bright, fresh finish.
Notes
- Prevent Dry Chicken by choosing chicken thighs for extra moisture and tenderness, which hold up better during slow cooking.
- Customize Vegetable Mix by using fresh or frozen seasonal vegetables to add variety and nutritional boost to the classic pot pie recipe.
- Enhance Flavor Depth by adding a splash of white wine or a teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce during initial cooking for complex, rich undertones.
- Create Gluten-Free Option by substituting cream of chicken soup with homemade cream sauce and using gluten-free biscuits or puff pastry for sensitive diets.
