This chicken pot pie is perfect for rainy weather & feeling better!
Believe us when we say that this is going to go fast. It is so yummy! In fact, we doubled the recipe every time because we know it’s such a hit.
This recipe requires a bit more steps, but they are all worth it for a healthier option of this homey meal. If you are not avoiding dairy or gluten, feel free to use normal organic butter & organic flour.
What you’ll need (we doubled this recipe):
CRUST
1 cup gluten free all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
1/4 cup cold dairy free butter
1 egg
2-3 tablespoons water
FILLING
1.5 cups potatoes
2 large carrots
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 medium yellow or white onion
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
1 1/2 cup chicken broth
3 tablespoons gluten free all purpose flour
Steps:
CRUST
In a medium bowl, mix flour, salt, & dried herbs.
Cut in the cold butter with a fork until crumbly.
Mix in egg & add water slowly until it can be formed together in a ball. Wrap up the dough & place in fridge while prepping the filling.
FILLING
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Warm olive oil in pan on medium heat & cook the chicken until no longer pink. Add thyme & parsley, salt & pepper.
Remove cooked chicken from pan & add in onions. Cook until translucent.
Once onions are translucent, add in potatoes & carrots. Cook until you can poke a fork into potatoes to test doneness.
While waiting to cook, add chicken broth & flour together in a bowl & whisk well until no lumps remain.
Add chicken & broth mixture to the pan & stir everything together well. Transfer contents to buttered baking dish.
Roll out dough on floured baking parchment paper. Roll until large enough to place on top of the filling. Note: gluten free dough will be harder to keep together.
Optional: brush whisked egg on top of crust before placing it in the oven.
Cook for 40-45 minutes or until the crust is golden & the filling is bubbly. Let cool before slicing & enjoy!
