Ingredients

2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Tender, lean protein that shreds easily after slow cooking.
Salt (to taste)
Enhances and balances the overall flavor of the dish.
Pepper (to taste)
Adds a warm, mild heat and brightens the savory notes.
Garlic powder (to taste)
Provides concentrated garlic flavor without fresh cloves.
Onion powder (to taste)
Adds depth and a subtle sweet onion note to the sauce.
Kinder’s Buttery Garlic & Herb seasoning (to taste)
A buttery, herbed finishing seasoning that layers extra savory and garlicky flavor.
2 cans cream of chicken soup
Creates the rich, creamy base that mimics pot pie filling.
2 cups chicken broth
Thins the soup slightly and adds savory chicken richness for a saucy finish.
1 bag frozen mixed vegetables
Convenient mix of carrots, peas, corn, and green beans for color, texture, and nutrition.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Season the chicken breasts. In the crockpot, place the 2 lbs of boneless, skinless chicken breasts and sprinkle salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Kinder’s Buttery Garlic & Herb seasoning over them. Tip: season both sides so the flavor penetrates while cooking.
Add the soups and broth. Pour in the 2 cans of cream of chicken soup and the 2 cups of chicken broth around the chicken. Stir gently if needed to combine the liquids with the seasoning.
Add the frozen mixed vegetables. Scatter the entire bag of frozen mixed vegetables on top of the mixture in the crockpot. They will steam into the sauce as it cooks.
Cover and cook. Place the lid on the crockpot and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 4 hours. Do not remove the lid frequently, as consistent temperature helps the chicken stay moist.
Shred the chicken and mix. Before serving, remove the chicken breasts and shred them with two forks, then return the shredded chicken to the crockpot and stir well to combine into the sauce. Tip: Taste and adjust salt, pepper, or Kinder’s seasoning after shredding.
Serve over pasta of your choice. Spoon the creamy chicken pot pie mixture over cooked pasta and toss gently to coat. For a citrus-herb contrast, try a lemony pasta side like the bowtie lemon garlic chicken pasta on another night.

Tips, Storage & Variations

Tips
- Use a meat thermometer if unsure: chicken should reach 165 F internally before shredding.
- If the sauce seems too thin after cooking, turn the crockpot to high and cook uncovered for 15 to 20 minutes to reduce slightly.
- Stir gently after shredding so the vegetables stay intact.
Storage and Freezing
- Refrigerate leftover pot pie mixture in an airtight container for up to 3 to 4 days.
- To freeze, cool completely, place in freezer-safe containers, and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat on low in a saucepan, adding a splash of chicken broth if needed.
Flavor Variations Using Existing Ingredients Only
- Extra herby: Increase Kinder’s Buttery Garlic & Herb seasoning to taste for a stronger herb profile.
- More savory: Add an extra pinch of garlic powder and onion powder before serving to boost savory notes.
- Broth-forward: Use the full 2 cups of chicken broth if you prefer a thinner, saucier finish.
