Update: I have also made this recipe by putting all the filling ingredients into a crock pot for 6 hours. Once it is ready put it in an an oven safe dish, add the topping and bake for 30 minutes.
Ingredients for Filling (Serves 4-6)
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 3 diced carrots
- 2 diced celery stalks
- 1/2 diced onion
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1/2 cup diced mushrooms (I used crimini)
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt or herbamare
- 1/2 teaspoon thyme
- 1 teaspoon parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon rosemary
- 3 cups cooked chicken
- 2 cups chicken broth (see below)
- 1/4 cup potato, arrowroot or tapioca starch or 2 tablespoons quick cook tapioca
- 1/2 cup milk (if using a starch, omit if using quick cook tapioca)
Ingredients for Topping
- 1/2 cup rice flour
- 1/2 cup chickpea flour
- 1/2 cup potato starch
- 2 teaspoons gluten free baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon thyme
- 1/4 cup coconut oil or earth balance
- 1/4 cup water or as needed to make dough stick
- In a large pot or Dutch oven with oil sauté onion, garlic, celery, mushrooms, carrots and spices for about 10 minutes. They only need to soften a little as they will cook further in the oven.
- Stir in peas and chicken broth. Cook till boiling.
- Preheat oven to 375F.
- In a small saucepan heat starch and milk while stirring constantly.
- Add milk to chicken mixture and stir to combine. Spoon into a large 2 litre baking dish.
- In a medium size bowl, combine all ingredients for the crust and mix until crumbly.
- Using your hands, sprinkle dough on top of chicken mixture.
- Bake for 40 minutes or until golden.
Homemade Chicken Broth
I am always leery about most chicken broths since I am never quite sure if it contains MSG. I prefer to make my own so I know exactly what is in it. While making this pie I used chicken breasts with the bones attached. I cut off the bones and placed them in a small pot to boil while I prepared the rest of the recipe. I added some extra coriander, parsley, oregano, thyme, sea salt or herbamare and pepper. Bring to a boil and cook on medium heat until needed.
