Chicken Pot Pie

I have been wanting to bake a homemade pot pie for some time, but struggling to find a recipe that is gluten-free. Is it possible to make a gluten-free pot pie? I'm craving a simple and delicious meal. Thanks!

I use pretty much any basic chicken pot pie recipe for the filling and substitute rice flour for wheat flour in the roux. THen I put it in a casserole dish and cover the top of the filling with a gluten-free pie crust. It's kind of tricky to get it shaped flat enough to cover the dish. I usually roll it out on a baking sheet w/ plastic wrap over it to roll it out, and take the plastic wrap off and flip the baking sheet over the casserole dish.

I make my typical chicken-n-veggies in gravy (then again, I've ALWAYS used cornstarch instead of flour for thickening, so no changes there), put it in a pie pan, then cover it with hot mashed potatoes and bake until the potatoes get a nice brown on them. You can even sprinkle with some cheese (if tolerated) and then stick it back under the broiler for a second to melt/brown the cheese a bit. Boy that sounds good but too damned hot here for that!

M-m-m-m-m gotta try that this fall!

The recipe have followed in the past before going gluten-free includes a can of cream of potato soup. That has wheat flour in it. All of your ideas sounds delicious. I just might need a step by step recipe. I am cook illiterate! :(

I have a recipe for a homemade cream of "X" soup mix (throw in mushrooms, you've got cream of mushroom soup; throw in sauteed celery, you've got cream of celery soup, etc.) that uses dry milk, chicken bouillon, mashed potato flakes and seasonings. It makes a batch that will make the equivalent of 8 cans of soup - you just whisk a few tablespoons of mix with some water and nuke it a bit. It's not quite as thick, but much tastier and waaaaaay healthier if anyone's interested.

Oh, and cornstarch, too.

Please post this recipe. I have been looking for a cream of mushroom soup that is gluten free....

Thanks,

Wenmin

P.S. If anyone has a recipe for french onion soup, I would love to get it to make a Jambalaya....

Of course, it goes without saying to use gluten free chicken bouillon. I use Betty Crocker Potato Buds. I just mix this up and keep it in a Tupperware and reconstitute as necessary. As written, the 3 tablespoons of mix makes the equivalent of HALF A CAN. So, for a whole can of soup, just use 6 tablespoons of mix and 1-1/3 cups of water. It's a lifesaver! I used it even before I went gluten free because I use it so rarely and I only cook for two, so a half can amount is perfect. And black pepper is fine - they just use white pepper because it looks nicer without the black specks in it.

It's not as thick as undiluted Campbells *shudder* but works just fine in any recipe that you'd use it for. I don't think I'd eat it as soup, but then again cream soups as, you know, SOUP, have always made me cringe.

That one's super easy- beef broth & onion, simmer. Never fails. If you like it sweeter, carmelize the onion in butter first. On that note, I LOVE taking butternut squash soup and simmering lots of onion in it til the onion falls apart, needs to be fresh sweet onion though or else it gets mealy and blah.

Your cat looks just like my Maui!

I used to make French Onion soup all the time but I made it my own way. I started with a mess of white onions cut in rings then cut in half. I would then sautee these in a mix of butter and olive oil over a somewhat low heat for a very long time until they got nicely browned. I would then slowly add beef broth. I used a boxed broth.

Instead of baking cups of soup in the oven, I tossed some cubes of bread (I didn't use very much as I am diabetic) and Asiago (or whatever kind I had) cheese in the bottom of the soup mugs. I either grated the cheese or cut/broke it in little pieces. Then I poured the hot soup over. Very good and quicker than baking it in the oven.

Alas, I can't have cheese now or I would be making it again.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.
