Instructions
1. Prepare the Chicken: Setting the Stage for Flavor
- Place Chicken in Slow Cooker: Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the bottom of a 5-quart or larger slow cooker.
- Season Chicken: Sprinkle the garlic powder, dried oregano, and cracked black pepper evenly over the chicken breasts.
2. Add Vegetables and Soup Mixture: Building the Pot Pie Filling
- Layer Onions: Add the diced yellow onion to the slow cooker, spreading it in an even layer over the chicken.
- Add Vegetables: Top the onions with the frozen mixed vegetables, distributing them evenly.
- Whisk Soup Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the condensed cream of chicken soup, condensed cream of celery soup, and chicken broth until smooth and well combined.
- Pour Over Ingredients: Pour the soup mixture evenly over the chicken, onions, and vegetables in the slow cooker.
3. Slow Cook to Perfection: Tender Chicken and Flavorful Sauce
- Cover and Cook: Cover the slow cooker with its lid.
- Cooking Time: Cook on high for 4-5 hours or on low for 6-8 hours.
- Check for Doneness: The chicken is cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and is no longer pink in the center. The vegetables should be tender.
4. Shred the Chicken: Creating a Hearty Filling
- Remove Chicken: Once the chicken is cooked, carefully remove the chicken breasts from the slow cooker and place them on a cutting board or in a separate bowl.
- Shred: Using two forks or meat claws, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
- Return to Slow Cooker: Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker.
- Stir and Warm: Stir the shredded chicken into the sauce and vegetables until everything is well combined. Turn the slow cooker to the “warm” setting while you bake the biscuits.
5. Bake the Biscuits: The Flaky Topping
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the biscuit can’s instructions (usually 350°F or 175°C).
- Prepare Baking Sheet: You may want to line a baking sheet with parchment paper, though it may not be necessary.
- Bake Biscuits: Open the can of biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet (if using). Bake according to the package directions, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
