How do you thicken chicken pot pie filling?
If the sauce isn’t thick enough for your liking you can simply mix together 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water, the heavy cream or milk. You’ll need to bring the sauce back up to temperature. If you need it quickly, you can heat the mixture up in the microwave and pour it in with the heavy cream. Make sure you allow time for the slow cooker to heat all the ingredients back up.
