Description

This gluten free chicken pot pie features a flaky, buttery crust and a rich, creamy filling. The ultimate comfort food recipe, made completely gluten-free.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

3 cups all-purpose gluten-free flour blend

½ teaspoon salt (omit if using salted butter)

2 teaspoons xanthan gum (omit if blend already has it)

1 cup butter (2 sticks), cold, cut into small pieces

810 tablespoons milk, cold

For the Filling:

1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves – cubed

1 cup sliced carrots

1 cup frozen green peas

⅓ cup butter

⅓ cup chopped fresh yellow or white onion

⅓ cup all purpose gluten-free flour blend

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

1 ¾ cups chicken broth

⅔ cup milk


Instructions

1. Make the Crust: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). In a medium bowl, combine flour, salt, and xanthan gum. Cut the cold butter into the flour with a pastry knife until it resembles small peas.

2. Form Dough: Add cold milk and combine until a moist dough forms. You may need to use your hands. Divide dough in half.

3. Roll Dough: On a gluten-free floured surface, roll each dough half into a 10-inch circle. Place one circle into a pie pan for the bottom crust.

4. Cook Filling Base: In a saucepan, combine chicken, carrots, and peas. Cover with water, boil for 15 minutes, then drain and set aside.

5. Make Gravy: In the same pan, melt ⅓ cup butter and cook onions until soft. Stir in flour, salt, and pepper. Slowly whisk in chicken broth and milk.

6. Thicken and Assemble: Simmer the gravy over medium-low heat until thick. Place the chicken/veggie mixture into the bottom pie crust. Pour the gravy over the top.

7. Top and Bake: Cover with the top crust, seal the edges, and cut slits in the top. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

8. Rest: Cool for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set.

Notes

Measuring Flour: When measuring gluten-free flour, always spoon the flour into the measuring cup and level it off. Do not scoop directly from the bag, as this packs the flour and will make your crust dry.
