Best Ways to Enjoy It
This Chicken Pot Pie is a hearty meal on its own, but you can elevate your dining experience by serving it alongside a fresh garden salad or some steamed green beans. Consider a light, chilled white wine or even a sparkling water with lemon to cleanse your palate between bites. For those chilly nights, a side of buttery mashed potatoes isn’t a bad idea either!
Keeping Leftovers Fresh
Got some leftovers? No problem! Store any remaining pot pie in an airtight container in the fridge, where it should last for about 3-4 days. If you need to reheat, the microwave works, but for the best texture, pop it in the oven at 350°F until warmed through.
Helpful Cooking Tips
Here are a few extra tips to ensure your Chicken Pot Pie turns out perfectly:
- For added depth, sauté your chicken breasts in a skillet with a little butter and season them before adding them to the Crock Pot.
- If you enjoy a thickened gravy, consider adding a tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with a bit of water to the mix during the last hour of cooking.
- Feel free to experiment with herbs! Rosemary or sage can add a delightful twist to the classic thyme.
Recipe Variations
Looking to switch things up? Here are some fun variations:
- Swap out the chicken for turkey or even a vegetarian protein like chickpeas.
- Add a splash of white wine to the sauce for a gourmet touch.
- Change up the biscuits with a cornbread topping for a sweet and savory twist.
