• diced onion
• diced carrots
• green Beans
• peas
• corn
• spices
• shredded rotisserie chicken- you can use any leftover chicken from other meals too.
• chicken broth
• dairy Free milk-- we use unsweetened almond milk; use your DF milk of choice
• gluten free flour-- our go-to is Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free 1 to 1 Baking Mix

Crust Ingredient Notes

• gluten free all-purpose flour-- we have the best results using Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free 1 to 1 Baking Mix in this recipe. This contains xanthan gum already in the blend. We've also used Mama's Almond Blend.
• xanthan gum-- omit if your gluten free all-purpose flour contains this or guar gum
• kosher salt
• dairy free butter-- our go-to is Earth Balance Buttery Sticks, but any dairy free butter option should work.
• dairy free milk-- we use unsweetened almond mild, use your go-to dairy free milk. How much dairy free milk you will need for the crust is determined by the gluten free flour you use. For instance, when using Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free 1 to 1 Baking Flour you'll need closer to a cup of milk. Start off the recipe with 10 tablespoon and add in 1 tablespoon until the crust is moist and workable. In the past we've used Mama's Almond Blend which needs 10 tablespoon dairy free milk for the crust to be moist and workable.

Or you can use some of our Homemade Pie Crust we always have on hand.

Recipe Tips and Tricks

• Place flour under the crust as you roll it. It is so easy to forget this step.
• But you don't want the crust to stick to your counter top. If it does stick... place the dough back into a ball and rework with your rolling pin.
• It's important to frequently lift the dough while rolling and placing flour under it.
• When your crust is about 10 inches wide, roll it onto your rolling pin. Then place the rolling pin on one end of your pie dish and roll it across the plate. Your crust should nicely fall into place in the pie plate.
• Mini chicken pot pies baked in a mini muffin pan are a family favorite too. And without using a top crust this mini recipes is so easy. If you've never made them, you need this Mini Chicken Pot Pies recipe!
• Our pie crust may look a little pale to you- but YOU DO YOU in your kitchen! If you want a darker pie crust, feel free to brush yours with an egg wash to help it darken up a bit.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container and keep them in the fridge for up to 4-5 days.

You can freeze a whole baked or unbaked pot pie as well. Once assembled, or cooked, flash freeze and place in a freezer safe ziptop bag with the excess air removed.

Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge before reheating or cooking from frozen.

If desired, you could cook from frozen, but it will require much more time. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the inside gets thoroughly heated before consuming.
