Equipment

  • 1 Slow Cooker
  • 1 Chef's knife
  • 1 Cutting Board
  • 1 Measuring Spoons
  • 1 Large Spoon For stirring and serving

Ingredients
  

Main

  • 1 1/4 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 medium onion chopped (1/2 cup)
  • 1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 jar 18 oz chicken gravy
  • 2 medium stalks celery cut into 1/2-inch slices (3/4 cup)
  • 1 bag 12 oz Green Giant® Valley Fresh Steamers™ frozen mixed vegetables
  • 6 Pillsbury® Grands!® Flaky Layers frozen biscuits from 22.1-oz bag

Instructions
 

  • Cut the boneless, skinless chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and chop the onion and slice the celery.
  • In a 6-quart or larger slow cooker, combine the cut chicken, chopped onion, sliced celery, poultry seasoning, dried thyme leaves, and pepper.
  • Pour the entire jar of chicken gravy over the ingredients in the slow cooker and stir well to ensure everything is evenly coated.
  • Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours, or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is tender.
  • About 45 minutes before serving, add the frozen mixed vegetables to the slow cooker, stirring them into the chicken mixture.
  • Arrange the 6 frozen Pillsbury Grands! Flaky Layers biscuits directly on top of the chicken and vegetable mixture in a single layer.
  • Cover the slow cooker again and continue to cook on HIGH for another 30 to 45 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
  • Carefully remove the lid and let the pot pie rest for a few minutes before serving.
  • Serve the slow cooker biscuit chicken pot pie hot, scooping a portion of the filling with a biscuit onto each plate.

Notes

To elevate the flavor profile, consider a quick sear on the chicken thighs before adding them to the slow cooker; this develops a rich, savory depth. If using jarred gravy, whisk in a tablespoon of Dijon mustard or a splash of white wine for complexity. Ensure the frozen vegetables are added towards the end to prevent them from becoming overly mushy. For perfectly cooked biscuits, place them directly on the simmering filling, ensuring enough space for them to expand, and monitor closely to prevent burning on the edges while ensuring they are cooked through.
