Pat dry the chicken breasts, cover each side with garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper, then set aside
Chop and dice the vegetables (potatoes, onions, carrots, celery and garlic). Add to the slow cooker along with 2 bay leafs and stir to mix together
Add chicken breasts evenly across the top and pour in chicken broth
Set slow cooker on low setting and cook for 4 hours
After 4 hours, remove chicken and chop, then set aside. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed
In a small mixing bowl, add half & half and butter and warm until butter is just melted (about 1 minute). Slowly whisk in flour to create a slurry
Add slurry, frozen peas and chicken, mix well and cook for another hour.
During the last hour of cook time, bake the biscuits in your oven following the manufacturer's instructions. I do not cook the biscuits in the slow cooker
Serve the Chicken Pot Pie topped with a warm biscuit and enjoy!
Notes: This recipe will need a good amount of salt to bring out the flavor of the vegetables, so taste before serving and add as needed.
I also like to make a lower fat version by substituting 1% (low fat) milk for the Half & Half.
