GLUTEN-FREE CHICKEN POT mini PIE INGREDIENTS

- Chicken breasts
- Red onion
- Frozen bag of peas and carrot
- Chicken broth
- Plant-based butter
- Gluten-free flour
- Seasoning mix* (see recipe)
HOW TO PREPARE A GLUTEN-FREE CHICKEN POT mini PIES
Preheat over to 425 Degrees.
Prepare Dough
Roll out room-temperature gluten-free pizza dough until 1/4″ thick. Using a round cookie cutter, make 12 circles.
Prepare Chicken
Chop chicken breast into small chunks. Add chicken to a medium-sized skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook until no longer pink. (internal temp 165 degrees F)
Prepare Veggies
I prefer to use Birds Eye Steamfresh frozen mixed vegetables for my pot pie recipes. I’ve become skilled at placing these bags in the microwave for 7 minutes and walking away. Once they are done, I drain them and set them aside.
Prepare Roux
In a medium pot, melt butter. Once melted, add and cook the red onions until soft. Slowly whisk in gluten-free flour until thick. Add chicken broth, water, and seasoning to the flour mixture and stir until smooth. Once the mixture is smooth, taste it to determine if more salt is needed.
Assemble the mini pies by brushing the edges of six circles with melted butter. Fill those circles with the chicken mixture. Top those six pieces of dough with the remaining circles. Pinch the edges of the pie crust together with your fingers or a fork. Brush the tops of the mini pies with butter and bake for 20 minutes at 425 degrees.
CAN AP FLOUR BE USED IN PLACE OF GLUTEN-FREE FLOUR?
All-purpose flour can be substituted into every single recipe on my website. As I use 1-to-1 gluten-free flour, no measuring adjustments need to be made. You may want to add 1/2 cup more water or broth to the flour mixture during the cooking process. We like a balanced pie. One that has the perfect ratio of roux, veggies, and chicken.
CAN YOU USE FRESH VEGETABLES INSTEAD OF FROZEN ONES?
Yes. It will add a few extra minutes to the recipe but not much. Add the butter to a large skillet over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, add the chicken, carrots, green peas, onions, and salt and pepper. Cook for 8-10 minutes, until the chicken, is cooked through, stirring often.
CAN I USE THIS RECIPE TO MAKE CLASSIC CHICKEN POT PIE?
Yes. After preparing your chicken, vegetables, and flour mixture, Pour the chicken and vegetable mixture into the bottom of the pie crust. Pour your flour mixture over the chicken and veggies. I like to shake the pie to ensure the chicken and veggies are fully submerged. Place the second pie crust over the top of the mixture. Seal the edges of the pastry and poke a few holes in the top crust to allow the steam to escape.
Bake at 425 degrees for 30 minutes.
