Try adding some mashed potatoes to your chicken pot pie filling, it works like a charm to thicken things up and adds a creamy texture. You could also give arrowroot powder or tapioca flour a shot for a natural thickener alternative.

I've had success thickening chicken pot pie filling with a roux made from butter and flour! Just melt some butter, stir in flour until it's smooth, then gradually add broth until it thickens.
