Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Slow Cooker
- Place chicken at the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Add diced onion, frozen vegetables, chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
Step 2: Cook the Filling
- Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on low for 4–5 hours or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
- Once the chicken is cooked, shred it with two forks and mix it back into the creamy vegetable mixture.
Step 3: Prepare the Crust
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Roll out the puff pastry to fit the top of the slow cooker or a casserole dish (if transferring the filling).
- Cut the pastry into a round or square shape, depending on your slow cooker size.
- In a small bowl, beat the egg with water to make an egg wash. Brush it over the puff pastry for a golden finish.
Step 4: Assemble & Bake
- If using a slow cooker with a removable insert, transfer the filling to a casserole dish.
- Place the pastry crust on top of the filling, pressing down the edges to seal.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the crust is golden and puffed.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the comforting, creamy goodness!
