  • 4 medium carrots, peeled and cut diagonally into 1/4-inch slices
  • 3 medium Yukon gold potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 3 stalks celery, cut diagonally into 1/4-inch slices
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch

  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped Italian (flat-leaf) parsley

Pie Crust Crackers

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 box (14.1 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Pie Crusts (2 Count), softened as directed on box

Steps

  • 1
    Spray 5-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. In slow cooker, mix chicken, broth, carrots, potatoes, celery, onion, thyme, 1 1/4 teaspoons salt and the pepper. Cover; cook on High heat setting 3 to 3 1/2 hours or until juice of chicken is clear when thickest part is cut (at least 165°F) and potatoes and carrots are tender.

    Uncover; using 2 forks, shred chicken into large chunks. In small bowl, beat cornstarch and water with whisk until smooth. Add cornstarch mixture and whipping cream to slow cooker; stir to combine. Cover; cook about 20 minutes or until slightly thickened. Stir in parsley.

    Meanwhile, heat oven to 450°F. In small bowl, mix melted butter, thyme and 1/4 teaspoon salt until well blended. Unroll pie crusts on 2 large ungreased cookie sheets; brush with seasoned butter. With pizza cutter or knife, cut pie crust into 4x1-inch strips. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with pot pie.

Expert Tips

  • tip 1
    If you like your pie crust crackers cheesy, sprinkle 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese on top of each crust after you brush with butter, before cutting them into strips.
  • tip 2
    If you like peas in your pot pie, you can add 1/2 cup frozen sweet peas (thawed) 10 minutes before you stir in the cornstarch mixture.
