Slippery Pot Pie Recipe
What is slippery pot pie?
When I first moved to West Virginia from Kansas, I had never heard of slippery pot pie. Then my mother-in-law made us some and I vowed to learn how to make it for my family.
Slippery Pot Pie – or Pennsylvania Dutch Chicken Soup – is basically a chicken soup with homemade flat noodles. The noodles are 1/4 inch thick and have a slightly chewy texture. In fact, what makes this “slippery pot pie” is the noodles. You have to make them from scratch and make them square.
Slippery Pot Pie Shopping List
Before you make slippery pot pie, you’ll need this from the store:
- Better Than Bouillon Roasted Chicken Base
- Chicken Breasts or Thighs
- Red Potatoes
- Carrots
- Yellow onion
- Flour
- Butter
- Milk
- Egg
- Salt and Pepper
There really aren’t that many ingredients. It’s pretty fantastic!
My Secret Weapon – Better Than Bouillon
Since I am already taking a lot of time to make the noodles from scratch, I took a little shortcut with the chicken broth. I used the Roasted Chicken base.
I am all about finding ways to save time in the kitchen. These are so much faster and better than the cubes! Those were just a bit more time consuming, unwrapping each cube and then hoping they dissolved correctly.
Better than Bouillon is a paste. One teaspoon of paste makes 8 ounces of broth. You won’t believe the amount of flavor packed in these jars!
My favorite flavor by far is the roasted chicken base. I use so much chicken broth in my soups and slow cooker dishes. All the spices in this base are balanced perfectly. No more trying to figure out what else it needs!

How to Make Slippery Pot Pie – Step By Step
Here’s how to make the slippery pot pie, step-by-step.
The first step is to prep all your ingredients. Chop the potatoes, pre-cook and chop the chicken, and chop up your onion and carrots. Set these aside. If you are running short on time, you can do this ahead of time and just keep them in the fridge.
Next, you are going to make the noodles. Get a large bowl and mix up the flour, milk, egg and butter with your hands.
Next, it is important to get the consistency of your dough just right. You don’t want it too sticky or too crumbly. If it is too sticky, add just a bit more flour. If it is crumby or crumbling too much, add a bit more milk.
After you get the dough the right consistency, flour your table and roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thick. If the dough sticks to your rolling pin, put some flour on it.
Then with a sharp knife, cut the dough into squares. Now you are ready to make the broth and begin making the soup!
Get a large soup pot and fill it with 7 cups of water. Then, put 7 teaspoons of Better Than Bouillon roasted chicken base in the water and mix well.Better Than Bouillon is a paste concentrate that is equivalent to a bouillon cube or broth.
Bring this mixture to a boil. Add in the carrots, potatoes, and onion. While it is boiling, slowly drop in your noodles, stirring gently after you add them.
If you stir the soup a little bit after adding a few noodles a time, you prevent them from clumping together.
When all the noodles are added to the pot, turn the heat down to medium-low, cover, and let it cook for about an hour. This is enough time for the veggies and noodles to all cook.
Then add the chicken and let it all cook for another 15 minutes.
Done!
