Dairy and Gluten Free Chicken Pot Pie Filling

Chicken pot pie is a family staple in our home, rich, hardy, and absolutely delicious, this meal is a must have in our house. When we went gluten and dairy free several years ago it was extremely difficult to find a good recipe to keep this family favorite on the table.

After lots of trial and error, I finally perfected my dairy and gluten free chicken pot pie filling. This filling can be put into a gluten and dairy free pie crust for the traditional pot pie meal, or it can be served over dairy and gluten free biscuits or rolls. With a large family of seven we most often serve it over biscuits or rolls for a quick but delicious meal. Find my gluten free sourdough recipe here.
