Ahhh, Sunday. Perfect for football, relaxation, and slow cooker recipes like this Slow Cooker Chicken Pot Pie. I know that pot pie purists would knock this “just another lazy person’s version” of the their beloved crusty pie. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good baked up chicken pot pie with thick, buttery crust. But I fully embrace that this is a lazy version of it…because honestly, not many people have time for that.

You know what I do have time for though? Whipping up a quick roux on the stovetop to add in to the slow cooker for the last 30 minutes of cooking. You could probably melt the butter in the microwave and whisk in the flour after, but it’s well worth washing an extra pan to do this right.
Although my recipe calls for coconut milk in the roux to get this pot pie nice and creamy, you could certainly use cream or non-skim milk instead for the same effect.



One of my favorite things about big batch slow cooker recipes? You get to enjoy some as soon as it’s done cooking AND still have plenty leftover for meal prep! Get these divided 2 compartment glass containers here.

- Cook on high for 3 hours, then remove chicken breasts and allow to rest while preparing the roux.
