Notes

BULK PREPARATION & FREEZING:

  1. You can easily prepare this recipe in bulk – I usually make 4 at a time. I cook 1 for dinner and freeze the others without cooking them. There’s no need to defrost the Pot Pie before placing it in the oven at 425 for 45 min – 1 hour. I generally test the center with my thermometer to make sure the center is thoroughly thawed and reaches at least 100 degrees.

      I made the best pie crust actually for a Quiche and then later for a chicken pot pie (this recipe) and a pumpkin pie. This indeed the best gluten free pie crust I have ever made. I had been buying them as mine were failures…thanks!

    This pot pie recipe looks promising, but I would really like the thick creamy sauce that I recall potpies had. I think its called” bachmel” sauce or something like that. Its made by cooking flour in a pot on the stove and adding milk little bits at a time. I wonder if its possible to make the sauce with a milk alternative and king author multi purpose gf flour? Would you need to add xanthan gum, or other binder? Very currious. Thanks again for this good recipe. BLESSINGS IN CHRIST<3

      You could add a cream made of soaked cashews that you then put into the vitamin with a little water… the taste and texture is perfect and you will have that creamy taste that you love !!

    • Gluten Free Chicken Pot Pie Recipe - Delicious GF Crust Recipe too! (28)Nanny

      You could also make a more white sauce for less than the cost of cashews. 1.5 TBS olive oil, 1 TBS flour and 1 cup dairy free milk. Fry the flour and oil in pan for a few min, don’t let it stick, then slowly add the milk and heat, it will thicken once it is brought to a boil season with salt, pepper, garlic, onion, whatever. If you want to make an even cheaper sauce, add some cooked rice with water and blend in the vitamix. A quick, cheap, milk when in a pinch. It makes a really yummy base, just an FYI.

  7. Gluten Free Chicken Pot Pie Recipe - Delicious GF Crust Recipe too! (29)Kristen

    Loved this and so did my 8-year old daughter! We used corn, peas, carrots, shiitake mushrooms and a potato along with the onions and garlic and added some truffle oil for fun – delectable and so flexible that you could throw any leftovers in and it would be perfect!

    Looks delicious! Do you think that I can use this pie crust recipe for a sugar cookie to use with a cookie cutter. My son is gluten, dairy, soy, sugar (except for honey, stevia and coconut sugars) and he desperately wants a cookie.

    Thanks, fantastic website

    • Gluten Free Chicken Pot Pie Recipe - Delicious GF Crust Recipe too! (31)Erika

      Hi Hanna!

      I wouldn’t use this recipe for a Sugar Cookie base – although I love that you’re willing to try it for you sweet son! =) I have a great sugar cookie recipe that I haven’t posted yet – but I’m thinking you might be able to modify the Gluten Free Toll House Cookie Recipe I posted and sub the brown sugar for Maple Syrup & the white sugar for Coconut Sugar. If the mixture is too sticky, you can add in a small amount (1/4 cup) of Apple Sauce. If it’s too wet, try adding a bit of Coconut Flour (if you have it on hand)… leaving out the chocolate chips of course.

      Hope that helps… God Bless! =)

    I’d love to make this. I already have cooked chicken breast, leftover from another meal. Do you know approximately how much broth you used after the chicken was cooked? I want to add the broth in but don’t want to add to much and have it be soggy. Thanks!!!

    Made this tonight and it was delicious! I admit I used part oil and some butter to sautee the veggies in, but the whole family loved it. My 6 year old gave it two thumbs up!

    Anyone who hasn’t tried this yet, get busy!! OMG!!! Not only beautiful, but dee-licious. Built it in a small springform pan. After it cooled about 15 minutes, I removed the sides and Wowee! It stood there as proud as could be. Crust retained it’s integrity both overnight and out of the freezer heated up.

    Made this over the weekend for some GF friends. Was absolutely DELISH! Though I ended up with enough filling for 2 pies – I did use 2 rather large chicken breasts, but everything else was according to the recipe. Since everyone loved it, just whipped together another pie crust and plopped it in the deep freeze for some other time. The crust was a bit of a challenge to find the right consistency – but we got there eventually – a little extra flour, a little more water. Oops – a little more flour. You just have to play around with it until you can roll it out without it getting stuck to the wax paper, or falling apart when you try to take the wax paper off. A definite keeper for the GF & non-GF alike!

This is a keeper

    Delicious! I had to used flax seeds and hot water as a binder, (I ran out of eggs) and I was worried about the crust, but aside from being a little crunchy, it was good. But the pie filling was wonderful. Okay, I’ll admit it, I am the person who LOVES the 79 cent chicken pot pies–the ones where you have no idea what is in them? But this was ssoooo much better. Thanks for the recipe. I have used your pie crust recipe (with the egg) before and it was good, too.

    Delicious! I have been gluten free for several years and I really miss pie crust, pizza, and bread. This pie crust is amazing—flaky even. I didn’t think that was possible. And the chicken filling was delicious. I surprised my husband so much with this dish for dinner tonight. I tend to stay away from most grains, so this was a treat for both of us!

FAQs

Why does my gluten free pie crust fall apart? ›

Ingredients and Substitutions:

You also want to make sure this flour blend has xantham gum. Xantham gum is what helps hold the flour and pie ingredients together, and mimics what gluten does. Gluten is like glue, and is why doughs stay together. Without xantham gum, it will be crumbly and fall apart.

The best gluten free pie crust shouldn't taste gluten free. It should be flaky, delicate, and buttery, like a normal, gluten-full pie crust!

Why is it important to activate some gluten but not too much in your pie crust? ›

Wheat flour provides the most lift to your bread, more than any other flour or combination of flours. In a pie crust, we still need some gluten development so that the pie dough holds it shape but we also want it to be flaky and tender.

How do you thicken chicken pot pie? ›

Stir a tablespoon of cornstarch into 2 tablespoons of cold water and add it to your filling mixture to thicken it.

How do you keep gluten free dough from falling apart? ›

To successfully make a gluten-free pie crust that won't fall apart, add one egg to your dry ingredients before adding any water. Fully combine the egg and then add only the amount of water you need to form the dough.

How do you keep gluten free pastry from crumbling? ›

Add xanthan gum to gluten-free flour. It enhances elastic qualities that gluten-free flours lack, making it easier to work with and less likely to crumble. Add plenty of water to the gluten-free flour to prevent the pastry from becoming too dry when rolling out.

Why is my gluten free pie crust hard? ›

Too much water makes pie crusts tough, ESPECIALLY gluten-free crusts. An extra tablespoon or two can make your crust rock hard. Try to use the least amount of water listed.

Does gluten-free crust taste good? ›

Gluten free pizza crust doesn't taste exactly the same as the gluten-based options on the market. But when you think about it, no two kinds of pizza crust taste exactly the same anyway. Some might carry a strong herb or spice flavor, for example, while other crusts might taste more strongly of yeast.

Why is gluten free baking so difficult? ›

Gluten-free baking is a lot harder than traditional baking because gluten protein is what gives baked goods their structure. Bread without gluten or any gluten substitute will be thick and crumbly when it comes out of the oven.

Does gluten free crust take longer to bake? ›

Because gluten-free batters contain more liquid than traditional versions, they typically take longer to bake. If you remove them from the oven too soon, you may develop a gummy, mushy texture.

What will an excess of gluten do to your pie? ›

The key to standard pie crust is having pockets of fat surrounded by flour. But if that fat starts to melt and mixes with the flour, it can start to develop gluten, which can lead to a tough crust.

How do you keep the bottom crust of a chicken pot pie from getting soggy? ›

What is the sauce made of in chicken pot pie? ›

The sauce in chicken pot pie is typically a gravy. I use a seasoned white gravy made from scratch with flavor-building ingredients, chicken broth, and half-and-half.

Why did my chicken pot pie turn out watery? ›

Watery filling

Water can be released from your pie filling while cooking in the oven. To avoid turning your pie into a sloppy mess, add flour to the filling or add some nuts to thicken it up, like in our Chicken and Leek Pie. This will help to absorb any excess water while it's cooking and will keep the pastry crispy.

How do you make gluten-free baking less crumbly? ›

Dry, crumbly loaf- you may need more liquid (see above), fat or binder. Gluten free bread dough needs more fat than wheat bread dough whether it's oil, butter or something else. So if your bread is dry, simply add more fat to get a better crumb.

How do you fix a pie crust that keeps falling apart? ›

If it's too crumbly, add a little more water. Once your pastry has come together, don't then ruin it when rolling it out. It's always tempting to shovel loads of flour onto a work surface when rolling out pastry.

How do you keep pie crust from separating? ›

Now let's see how to prevent it.
  1. Use butter, not shortening. The solidity of unmelted fat is part of what helps pie crust hold its shape as it bakes. ...
  2. Keep water to a minimum. This pie pastry looks good, doesn't it? ...
  3. Roll sparingly. ...
  4. Choose apples that hold their shape. ...
  5. Vent the top crust.
