Step-by-Step Guide to Make This Recipe

This chicken pot pie stew comes together in just a few simple steps. The slow cooker does most of the work!

Step 1: Add the ingredients.
Add the potatoes, chicken, cream of chicken soup, carrots, celery, bouillon, and seasonings to the slow cooker.

Step 2: Cook the stew.
Cover and cook on High for 5 hours. This gives the chicken and potatoes plenty of time to become tender.

Step 3: Add the vegetables.
After 5 hours, stir in the frozen mixed vegetables. Continue cooking for 1 more hour.

Step 4: Serve!
Once everything is hot and tender, your stew is ready to enjoy.

I like to serve it with warm buttermilk biscuits for dipping into all that creamy goodness.

Recipe Variations

This recipe is easy to customize depending on what you have in the kitchen.

Use fresh vegetables.
You can swap the frozen mixed vegetables for fresh ones. Just chop them into bite-sized pieces and add them during the same part of the cooking process.

Try different potatoes.
Red potatoes work especially well here, but you can use another variety if that’s what you have on hand. Just cut them into evenly sized pieces.

Add a little heat.
If you like a little kick, add some extra black pepper or your favorite seasoning blend.

Change up the biscuits.
Buttermilk biscuits are my favorite, but any soft, fluffy biscuit will work. You can also serve the stew with crusty bread for soaking up the creamy sauce.

Expert Tips

Cut the potatoes evenly.
This helps them cook at the same rate and keeps some pieces from getting too soft.

Don’t skip the seasonings.
The garlic salt, celery salt, and black pepper give the creamy stew plenty of savory flavor.

Add the frozen vegetables later.
They only need the final hour of cooking, which helps them keep their texture.

Give everything a good stir.
When you first add the ingredients, stir everything together so the seasonings and cream of chicken soup are evenly distributed.

Serve it hot.
This stew is best served warm with plenty of fluffy buttermilk biscuits on the side.

Mistakes to Avoid

Don’t cut the potatoes too small.
Small pieces can become mushy during the long cooking time. Keep them in hearty, even pieces.

Don’t add the frozen vegetables at the beginning.
They only need the final hour, so adding them too early can make them overly soft.

Don’t add extra liquid unless you need it.
The cream of chicken soup creates the creamy base for this stew. Adding too much liquid can make the finished dish thinner than you want.

Don’t rush the cooking time.
The chicken and potatoes need enough time to become tender and for all those cozy flavors to come together.

Don’t forget the biscuits.
They’re the perfect way to soak up every last bit of the creamy stew!

How to Store It

Leftovers are easy to save for another meal.

Let the stew cool, then transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate. It will keep well in the fridge for a few days.

When you’re ready to eat, reheat the amount you need until hot. If the stew has thickened in the fridge, you can add a small splash of water or broth while reheating to loosen it up.

You can also freeze the stew for a make-ahead meal. Store it in a freezer-safe container and thaw before reheating.

How to Serve It

This stew is hearty enough to serve all on its own, but I highly recommend adding buttermilk biscuits.

The biscuits are perfect for soaking up the creamy sauce and make this meal feel just like classic chicken pot pie.

For an easy family dinner, serve the stew hot with warm biscuits on the side. Add a simple green salad or your favorite vegetable if you want something fresh alongside it.

It’s cozy, filling, and exactly the kind of dinner everyone will want seconds of!
