Slow Cooker Creamy Chicken & Mushroom Pie

Looking for a hassle-free yet satisfying dinner option that the whole family will love? Look no further than our Slow Cooker Chicken Pie recipe! With just a few simple steps, you can have a delicious homemade pie ready to serve in no time.

Can I make chicken pie filling in the slow cooker?

Yes, the slow cooker is perfect for making a rich and creamy chicken pie filling. It slowly tenderises the chicken and infuses the mushrooms and sauce with flavour — ideal for fuss-free family meals.

Do I still need to bake the pie if the filling is made in the slow cooker?

Yes. Once the filling is cooked in the slow cooker, you can spoon it into a pie dish, top with puff pastry or mash, and bake in the oven until golden and bubbling. This gives the pie its classic crisp topping.

What type of chicken should I use for this pie?

Boneless, skinless chicken thighs work best in the slow cooker as they stay juicy and tender. You can also use chicken breast, but it may be slightly drier.

Can I use tinned soup or cream in the slow cooker pie filling?

You can! For convenience, a tin of cream of chicken or mushroom soup can be used as a base, or create your own creamy sauce using cream cheese, double cream, or crème fraîche.

How long does chicken and mushroom pie filling take in the slow cooker?

Cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is thick and creamy.

Is this a good family recipe?

Yes — this recipe is a brilliant family-friendly dinner. It’s comforting, simple, and can be prepped in advance, making it perfect for busy weeknights.

Can I make this pie filling ahead of time?

Absolutely. The creamy chicken and mushroom filling can be made the day before and stored in the fridge. Just reheat and top with pastry or mash before baking.

What vegetables go well in a creamy chicken pie?

You can add peas, carrots, leeks, or sweetcorn for extra flavour and nutrition. They cook down beautifully in the slow cooker with the chicken and mushrooms.

Can I freeze the slow cooker pie filling?

Yes. Let it cool completely, then store in airtight containers and freeze for up to 3 months. Defrost thoroughly and heat until piping hot before baking into a pie.
