Paleo chicken pot pies that are mini in size and loaded with veggies, shredded chicken and a creamy, dairy-free filling. Theyre gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free and paleo though youd never know it.
The golden and flaky crust is the same recipe thats used on my paleo pumpkin pie. Which would also be a great dessert to serve with these mini chicken pot pies.
How To Freeze Gluten Free Chicken Pot Pie For Later
You can easily make a double or triple batch, and freeze these chicken pot pies for later
I usually freeze mine before baking so that the crust doesnt get overdone.
Once the pies are filled and topped, let them cool. Then they can be covered with a layer of foil and popped in the freezer.
Make sure to write the date, what it is, and how to cook it on the top with a permanent marker. Again, your future self will thank you!

How Do You Cook The Chicken For The Perfect Gf Pot Pie
You can cook the chicken in the same manner in which you sauté the onions in this recipe. Slice the raw chicken into a large dice, with pieces about 1-inch square. Cook the chicken in the butter and oil, after or even with the chopped onions, for about 5 minutes.
I prefer to cook the chicken separately, since you can make it ahead of time that wayand I make extra to use in other recipes. Any chicken that has been seasoned plainly, preferably with just salt, pepper, and a bit of olive oil, works for this recipeand for any recipe where you might use rotisserie chicken. Of course, you can use rotisserie chicken, but my family doesnt care for that.
What Vegetables Go In Chicken Pot Pie
You can use whatever you like, but my favorite vegetables to put in chicken pot pie are:Onion, garlic, carrot, celery, peas, corn, and potato.
You can also use green beans, parsnips, turnips, lima beans, mushrooms, or any favorite vegetable you want.
You can use frozen peas and carrots, frozen green beans, frozen corn, etc.
Helpful tip: I always freeze diced onion and use it in this recipe to have one less thing to chop.

Get Ready For A Delicious Dinner With This Gluten
During these fall and winter months, creamy and warm meals are a must-have. This Gluten-Free Creamy Chicken Pot Pie is the perfect choice for a cozy meal.
Chicken Pot Pie is a meal that I feel symbolizes home, does it for you? Ill admit though when we had these as a kid they were store-bought, not homemade.
Now, I know how to make them mostly from scratch and they are even better.
My Favorite Way To Make Juicy Skinless Boneless Chicken For Gluten Free Dinner Dishes
My favorite way to cook it for a recipe like this is in a casserole dish with the meat covered completely with parchment paper. The parchment paper acts like the skin of the chicken would, and locks in moisture during cooking.
Place the breasts in a lined or greased dish, allowing for some space between the breasts. Drizzle the meat lightly with olive oil, sprinkle lightly with salt and freshly ground black pepper, and cover completely with parchment paper placed directly on top of it, covering the chicken completely.
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Place the dish in the hot oven and cook for about 20 minutes or until an instant-reader thermometer inserted into the thickest portion of each breast reads at least 165°F. Allow to rest outside the oven, still covered, for 10 minutes before chopping.
To make this chicken for later use, allow the chicken to cool completely while still covered with the parchment paper. Wrap the chicken tightly with freezer-safe wrap, and freeze until youre ready to use it. Defrost in the refrigerator overnight before using in this recipe, for chicken salad, or anywhere you might use cooked rotisserie chicken.

Easy Gluten Free Meals
There are so many different gluten-free meal ideas. If I don’t meal plan, I find myself at a loss of what to make when it’s time to make dinner.
When I’m cooking for my kids, though, that definitely narrows down my options a little bit.
I want to make sure that I make a gluten free meal that my children will eat, but that still has great flavor that myself and my husband will enjoy as well. Gluten Free Pizza is one of their favorites, but we can’t have pizza every night.
Making The Gluten Free Filling
Chicken pot pie is a classic recipe, so if you dont have one you like already you can easily find one online. The beauty of it is that you can take just about any pot pie recipe and use the filling to make a casserole by swapping out the crust for the breadcrumb topping described below.
Unless youre using a gluten free recipe, however, you may need to make an important adjustment swapping out the flour used to thicken the sauce with a gluten-free alternative. Some recipes call for cornstarch or another thickener, but most use standard wheat flour.
Fortunately, the recipe works perfectly well with most gluten free all-purpose flour blends. If you try to use a single gluten free flour like almond flour or coconut flour, however, the results may not be what you expect. Unless youre used to using these flours, we recommend using an all-purpose flour blend.

A Flaky And Golden Paleo Crust
When I made my pumpkin pie last Thanksgiving I knew without a shadow of a doubt that my light and flakey crust would make a repeat appearance. When you have a recipe winner youll want to use it over and over and over.
The crust is a mix of almond flour and cassava flour but if you saw my first attempt on , youll notice that the crust was a bit drab looking. So I rectified that with a simple egg wash for golden goodness.
I have a few other tips when it comes to the crust though, as working with grain-free flours can often result in frustrating, crumbly dough. In fact, on my first attempt I thought, right, Ill just roll the dough and use a bowl to cut out a large circle and then transfer that circle with a spatula to the top of the pies. Umm, not so easy peasy and it broke apart every time.
So you want to hear my genius idea? My tortilla press! Which made perfect, round circles in seconds that were easily transferable between parchment paper. If you dont have a tortilla press, you could still roll them out.
The big takeaway is to divide your dough first and create mini, individual circles versus thinking you can cut circles out of one large piece of dough. Once I got that down bam! These mini chicken pot pies were good to go.
