For The Biscuits

Our biscuit recipe is based on heathy-delicious.com’s biscuits topping.

    •    2 cup Bob’s Red Mill 1 for 1 gluten-free flour
    •    2 teaspoon baking powder
    •    1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    •    1/4 c cold unsalted butter or non-dairy alternative
    •    3 tsp minced fresh Italian parsley
    •    1/2 tsp salt and pepper
    •    1 1/2 cup milk or non-dairy alternative

Directions:
For The Chicken Pot Pie

• Dice onion, carrot and, celery.

• In a large pot, heat oil and 1 tbs butter.
• Add onions to the pot and sauté.
• Then cover the pot with a lid and allow the onions to sweat.

• When onions have softened and are translucent, add in carrots and celery.

• Add in the other 3 tbs butter and cover with lid to promote liquid development.
• Then add in flour and stir. Cook until flour has completely dissolved and cooked out.
• Next, add in chicken stock and whisk well. You want the residual flour to dissolve.
• Add in milk and whisk to combine.
• Cook stirring for 10 minutes.
• Add in frozen vegetables, and stir.

• Cook until vegetables have heated through and are well combined.
• Allow to thicken, cooking on low heat for 10 more minutes, stirring occasionally.
• De-bone boiled chicken, and chop into bite size pieces.
• Stir in chicken and allow to cook for up to 5 minutes or more on low heat. Remember to stir every few minutes.

• Lightly spray a 9×13 baking dish with cooking spray and pour in pot pie filling

For The Biscuits

• Preheat oven to 350°
• In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and baking soda.
• Cube butter, using a medium grater or slice into small pieces.
• Using your fingertips, blend until pea-sized lumps form.

• Mix in the parsley and seasoning.
• Stir in the milk to form a soft dough.

• Spoon on top of the chicken pot pie filling in the baking dish – about two tablespoons of dough per drop biscuit.

• Bake for 30 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling and the biscuits are golden brown

Tips:

• This recipe requires a boiled chicken but if that is not possible, you could buy a rotisserie chicken and shred it.
• When boiling a chicken for this recipe, keep leftover stock so you can get two meals out of one task. I use chicken stock in my gluten-free Italian wedding soup recipe.

The best gluten-free chicken pot pie recipe is a whole meal in a pan, so you don’t have to make anything else with it. If you like, it would pair well with a simple salad.

Enjoy, friends.
