💡 Pro-Tips for the Perfect Crock Pot Chicken Pot Pie
- Don’t add dairy too early: Always add your milk, cream, or sour cream in the last 30-60 minutes of cooking to prevent curdling.
- Thicken properly: Slow cookers trap moisture. Always use a cornstarch or flour slurry at the end to get that perfect, thick pot pie gravy.
- Crispy crust is key: To ensure your crust or biscuits don’t get soggy, make sure your filling is hot and thick before adding the dough, and bake uncovered.
