This recipe keeps everything you love about chicken pot pie:
Creamy, savory sauce
Tender chicken
Sweet carrots and peas
That nostalgic, homey flavor
But instead of sealing it under a crust, we fold it into pasta so every bite is coated in velvety goodness.
And because it’s made in the slow cooker, you mostly just… assemble and walk away.
