Ingredients

Main Ingredients

2 lbs chicken breast, diced
1 cup carrots, diced
1 cup celery, diced
1 cup onion, chopped
1 cup frozen peas
2 cans (10.5 oz each) cream of chicken soup
1 cup chicken broth
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp cayenne pepper
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Prepare the Ingredients

Start by dicing the chicken breast and chopping the vegetables. This will ensure even cooking and flavor distribution.

Combine Ingredients in Crockpot

Add the diced chicken, carrots, celery, onion, and peas to the crockpot. Pour in the cream of chicken soup and chicken broth.

Season the Mixture

Sprinkle the paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper over the top. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

Cook the Filling

Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or high for 3 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.

Once cooked, the filling can be used immediately or stored for later use in your favorite pot pie recipe.

Serving Suggestions

This Spicy Crockpot Chicken Pot Pie Filling can be served in various ways, but it truly shines when paired with a flaky pie crust. You can either make your own pie crust or use store-bought for convenience. Simply pour the filling into the crust, cover it, and bake until golden brown for a classic pot pie experience.

For a lighter option, consider serving the filling over a bed of fluffy mashed potatoes or rice. This not only adds a comforting element to the meal but also allows you to enjoy the rich flavors without the extra calories from pastry.

Storage and Reheating

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. The flavors will continue to develop, making it even more delicious the next day! When reheating, simply warm it up in the microwave or on the stovetop until heated through.

For longer storage, you can freeze the filling before adding it to a crust. It will keep well in the freezer for up to three months. To reheat, thaw overnight in the refrigerator and then warm it in a saucepan or crockpot until completely heated.

Variations to Try

Feel free to customize this recipe to suit your taste! Consider adding other vegetables such as green beans, corn, or even potatoes for added texture and flavor. You can also switch up the protein by using cooked shredded turkey or even a vegetarian alternative like chickpeas.

For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a splash of your favorite hot sauce or a sprinkle of fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary. Each variation will create a unique twist on this classic dish, ensuring you never get bored with it!
