Chicken Pot Pie

My very favorite meal is a homemade chicken pot pie. I have not had a decent chicken pot pie for years. That was until a few weeks ago. I decided to purchase a box of the gluten free pantry FRENCH bread and Pizza Mix.. I baked it and it was so good. I had to add extra salt, though.

I was eating out with some girlfriends, coffee at our local coffee shop, and I brought along a warmed piece of my new bread with some butter and jam. I was saying how it was very dense and soft and rich tasting when my closest friend remarked that it would make an excellent dinner of gravy and turkey for my teenaged son who is always very hungry. I had just been telling her about a funny incident when he was so hungry after school that I had given up, driven him to the nearest Marie Calender's and let him order as much food as he needed to fill up. One of the meals he'd ordered was a chicken pot pie. I really wanted some.

So, after a "duh" moment... I realized I could make a chicken pot pie for myself. I'm eating my second pie right now (these are single serve bowls). I am in heaven.

Could you post your recipe for chicken pot pie. I would love to make individual ones and freeze them for the times I don't want to cook. Thanks.

Ditto! I have been hungry for anything with gravy and considered trying to make meat pie type things, with pie dough wrapped all around the filling, but I think I could get the same effect with just the crust on top. Pleeeease! I'm sure I could figure out the filling, but tell us about your crust.

Oh, sure. Like I said, I found that I really enjoy the Gluten free Pantry French Bread and Pizza Crust mix. I prepare it following the bread recipe. I use Kinik all purpose flour to help handle the very gooey mixture once prepared. It's not to be rolled out. I simply take a large spoonful of the dough (it must rise for 40 minutes prior to using it) and use my fingers to smooth it out on top of my individual serving sized pies.

I use the one crust method for my pie.

Everyone has a recipe they will prefer for the contents. Mine is simple, but I really enjoy it. I found a bouillon that I like. I suggest you use your personal favorite if you want to follow my recipe. I use a veggie bouillon that is gluten free and has a lot of flavor.

I prepare boiled chicken. Pull apart the meat. I use about three cups of chicken.

I prepare two cups of bouillon. I add two cloves of minced garlic and 2 carrots, two celery stalks and broccoli to the boiling bouillon.

I put three tbs of olive oil in a deep dish frying pan. I add half of a large onion.

I drain the bouillon into a measuring cup.

I take 1 1/2 cups of my bouillon and add it to my onion, leaving behind, for now, the chunky veggies.

I reserve 1/2 a cup of bouillon and add to it 2 tbs of corn starch. Whisk. Add to your onion which should be in a deep dish frying pan as I said.

When thickened, add the veggies that were being reserved.

Next, I add the chicken. I stir all together for a few minutes.

I pour my mixture into single serve, oven safe baking dishes.

Top with the amount of dough you need to cover the mixture. It bakes very well in my oven at 350 for 30 minutes. It tastes as good as ANY pot pie I can recall from my gluten days. I am never left feeling deprived.

Prior to finding a crust that I enjoy for this pot pie, I always used this recipe over rice. It is delicious over rice. Very nice on a chilly evening.

While I typed this recipe, I was eating my pot pie. I can assure you that it is very good. It is the perfect crust, in my opinion.

mmm, this has always been one of my fave meals (we grew up on the frozen kind!!)

I was thinking...could this be premade then frozen? like the storebought ones? i'd love to do that for my days off from the kitchen :P

      Has anyone had terrible TMJ/ Jaw Pain from undiagnosed Celiac?

      Yes. I have had the tmj condition for 40 years. My only help was strictly following celiac and also eliminating soy. Numerous dental visits and several professionally made bite plates did very little to help with symptoms

      Cristiana makes a good point and it's something I've pointed out at different times on the forum. Not all of our ailments as those with celiac disease are necessarily tied to it. Sometimes we need to look outside the celiac box and remember we are mortal humans just like those without celiac disease.

      Has anyone had terrible TMJ/ Jaw Pain from undiagnosed Celiac?

      Also suffer badly with gluten and TMJD, cutting out gluten has been a game changer, seems to be micro amounts, much less than 20ppm. Anyone else have issues with other food stuffs? Soy (tofu) and/or milk maybe causing TMJD flare-ups, any suggestions or ideas? --- I'm beginning to think it maybe crops that are grown or cured with glyphosphate...

      Hi @Scatterbrain Thank you for your reply. Some of these things could be weaknesses, also triggered by stress, which perhaps have come about as the result of long-term deficiencies which can take a long time to correct. Some could be completely unrelated. If it is of help, I'll tell you some of the things that started in the first year or two...

      Hi @Scatterbrain Thank you for your reply.   Some of these things could be weaknesses, also triggered by stress, which perhaps have come about as the result of long-term deficiencies which can take a long time to correct.   Some could be completely unrelated. If it is of help, I'll tell you some of the things that started in the first year or two, following my diagnosis - I pinned everything on coeliac disease, but it turns out I wasn't always right!  Dizziness, lightheaded - I was eventually diagnosed with cervical dizziness (worth googling, could be your issue too, also if you have neck pain?)  A few months after diagnosis I put my neck out slightly carrying my seven-year-old above my head, and never assigned any relevance to it as the pain at the time was severe but so short-lived that I'd forgotten the connection. Jaw pain - stress. Tinnitus - I think stress, but perhaps exacerbated by iron/vitamin deficiencies. Painful ribs and sacroiliac joints - no idea, bloating made the pain worse. It got really bad but then got better. Irregular heart rate - could be a coincidence but my sister (not a coeliac) and I both developed this temporarily after our second Astra Zeneca covid jabs.   Subsequent Pfizer jabs didn't affect us. Brain fog - a big thing for people with certain autoimmune issues but in my case I think possibly worse when my iron or B12 are low, but I have no proof of this. Insomnia - stress, menopause. So basically, it isn't always gluten.  It might be worth having your vitamins and mineral levels checked, and if you have deficiencies speak to your Dr about how better to address them?

      @NanceK, I do have Hypersensitivity Type Four reaction to Sulfa drugs, a sulfa allergy.  Benfotiamine and other forms of Thiamine do not bother me at all.  There's sulfur in all kinds of Thiamine, yet our bodies must have it as an essential nutrient to make life sustaining enzymes.  The sulfur in thiamine is in a ring which does not trigger sulfa allergy like sulfites in a chain found in pharmaceuticals.  Doctors are not given sufficient education in nutrition (nor chemistry in this case).  I studied Nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology.  I wanted to know what vitamins were doing inside the body.   Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.   Not feeling well after starting Benfotiamine is normal.  It's called the "thiamine paradox" and is equivalent to an engine backfiring if it's not been cranked up for a while.  Mine went away in about three days.  I took a B Complex, magnesium and added molybdenum for a few weeks. It's important to add a B Complex with all eight essential B vitamins. Supplementing just one B vitamin can cause lows in some of the others and result in feeling worse, too.  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption of all the B vitamins, not just thiamine.  You need all eight.  Thiamine forms including Benfotiamine interact with each of the other B vitamins in some way.  It's important to add a magnesium glycinate or chelate supplement as well.  Forms of Thiamine including Benfotiamine need magnesium to make those life sustaining enzymes.  (Don't use magnesium oxide.  It's not absorbed well.  It pulls water into the intestines and is used to relieve constipation.)   Molybdenum is a trace mineral that helps the body utilize forms of Thiamine.   Molybdenum supplements are available over the counter.  It's not unusual to be low in molybdenum if low in thiamine.   I do hope you will add the necessary supplements and try Benfotiamine again.
