Description
A warm and satisfying dish that combines the classic flavors of chicken pot pie with the ease of slow cooking, featuring tender chicken, creamy sauce, and hearty pasta.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb chicken breast (diced, skinless)
- 2 cups pasta (small shape, uncooked)
- 1 cup chicken broth (low-sodium preferred)
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn)
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup (condensed)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Begin by washing your hands and prepping your cooking area. Cleanliness is essential when handling raw chicken.
- Next, take 1 lb of diced chicken breast and place it in the slow cooker. Spread the chicken evenly across the bottom for uniform cooking.
- Toss in 2 cups of uncooked pasta. Small pasta shapes work best as they absorb the flavors and cook evenly.
- Pour 1 cup of low-sodium chicken broth over the chicken and pasta. This will keep everything moist during the cooking process.
- Add 1 cup of frozen mixed vegetables. You can use a mix that includes carrots, peas, and corn for added nutrition and color.
- Grab a can of cream of chicken soup and add it to the slow cooker. This ingredient gives your meal that creamy, comforting texture.
- Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon each of garlic powder and onion powder for flavor. Add salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
- Use a large spoon to stir all the ingredients together. It’s important to combine everything well so that the flavors meld.
- Once everything is mixed, secure the lid on the slow cooker. Set it to low and allow it to cook for 240 to 300 minutes.
- Near the end of the cooking time, check to ensure the chicken is cooked through and the pasta is tender.
- Scoop the mixture into bowls, and enjoy your warm, comforting dish right away!
Notes
Consider adding fresh herbs like parsley or thyme as a garnish. A sprinkle of shredded cheese on top can also enhance the flavor.
