Ingredients

Pie Dough

Pot Pie Filling

  • 4 cups white meat chicken cubed, cooked
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1 onion small dice
  • 2 carrots small dice
  • 2 celery stalks small dice
  • 2 cups chopped raw cauliflower bite sized
  • 3 tablespoons xanthan gum gel see notes
  • 2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin (see notes) replacement for xanthan gum
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • salt
  • pepper

Instructions

Pie Crust

  • Mix together both flours, baking powder, salt.
  • Cut the butter in with a pastry cutter or with your hands. I find using a kitchen aid type mixer best for mixing this dough, but you can use your hands to mix.
  • Add egg until thoroughly mixed. Chill for 15 minutes.
  • Roll out dough between two pieces of plastic wrap on a tray you can place in freezer. Proceed with making pot pie filling while dough freezes.

Rotisserie Chicken or Roasted Chicken

  • If Roasting small chicken roast for one hour on 450 degrees F. Use white meat and reserve rest for another meal. The breasts of one chicken will give you enough for this recipe. If using rotisserie chicken, use the white meat and cut into bite sized pieces.

Using Boneless Chicken Breast

  • If using boneless chicken breast, cut Into bite sized pieces. Fry in butter until cooked through.

Pot Pie Filling

  • Melt butter in large frying pan or dutch oven. Cook carrots, celery, onion until carrots are softened and onion is translucent about five minutes. Add cauliflower. Cook for about five minutes.
  • If using unflavored gelatin, sprinkle it over cold chicken broth, until It blooms, about five minutes. This will help to thicken pot pie.
  • Add broth to vegetables and cook about 10 minutes until broth Is warm.
  • Add white wine, simmer for ten minutes.
  • If using xanthan gum gel (and not using gelatin) stir that in now.
  • Add frozen peas. You can them in frozen.
  • Add heavy cream. Continue to cook on low simmer uncovered about five minutes.

Bake Pot Pie in Oven

  • Take out dough. You can also cut out circles of dough. If you cut them ahead of time, keep them frozen before placing on pot pie. You will want to bake them frozen. Cutting dough into various round shapes with biscuit cutter makes it much easier to deal with and you can any size vessel to bake.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. 180 C.
  • Put pot pie filling Into pie pan or individual pie pans.
  • Bake about 20-30 minutes, checking at 20 minutes until the pie crust is lightly golden. Time will vary depending on size of baking vessel. The inside is already cooked. You are baking to cook the crust.

Notes

To thicken Pot Pie:
  1. Use xanthan gum gel. 
  2. Use Unflavored gelatin powder which will be mixed into cold broth first.
