Slow Cooker Chicken Pot Pie Pasta

Step 3: Shred the Chicken

Once the chicken is fully cooked, use two forks to shred it directly in the slow cooker. It should come apart easily. Stir it back into the sauce so it absorbs all the creamy, flavorful goodness.

Step 4: Add Vegetables and Cream

Now stir in the frozen peas, carrots, and corn. These vegetables add the signature pot pie flavor and a pop of color to your pasta dish.

Next, pour in the heavy cream and butter, stirring until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Let it cook on Low for another 15–20 minutes to heat everything through.

Step 5: Cook the Pasta

While the sauce is finishing, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil on the stove. Add the uncooked pasta and cook for 2 minutes less than the package directions (you want it slightly underdone since it will continue cooking in the slow cooker).

Drain the pasta well and immediately add it to the slow cooker. Stir gently to combine the pasta with the creamy chicken mixture.

Step 6: Add Cheese and Melt

Sprinkle in the shredded cheese and stir until it melts smoothly into the sauce. Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes on Warm so the pasta absorbs the flavors and the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 7: Serve and Garnish

Scoop generous portions into bowls or onto plates. Garnish with fresh parsley or an extra sprinkle of cheese if desired.

The result? A rich, creamy, and comforting pasta dish that tastes like a warm chicken pot pie — without the baking, crust rolling, or waiting for the oven to heat up.

🍽️ Serving Suggestions

• Serve with a side of garlic bread or buttery dinner rolls to soak up the sauce.
• Add a green salad with vinaigrette to balance the richness.
• For a cozy touch, sprinkle crushed butter crackers or toasted breadcrumbs on top before serving for a “crust-like” crunch.

💡 Tips for Success

• Thicker sauce: Add a cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water) if you want a thicker texture.
• Lighter option: Use light cream or evaporated milk instead of heavy cream.
• Flavor boost: Add a pinch of nutmeg or thyme for an extra layer of classic pot pie flavor.
• Cheese choices: Try Monterey Jack, Gruyère, or even cream cheese for a different creamy texture.
