My Big Fat Comfy Chicken Pot Pie
This is one of those recipes that can definitely be described as ridiculously decadent because it’s made with real butter (is there any other kind?), and the crust has a little sugar in it, delicious, with some healthy veggies kicked in there too! Makes one big pot pie in the pie pan with some of the stew left over for when you want something hot and comfy without the crust!

Recipe Notes

I make two pie crust from this recipe at – http://glutenfreelady.com/recipes.php?id=97

Note:  My husband did not like the sugar in the crust so you could leave that out for a more savory pie.  I love a little sweet in the crust.

 

Press the dough into the bottom of the pie pan and bake it at 375 for about 30 minutes until it starts to brown.

 

Remove and pour in the stew mix and top with the other pie crust.  There should be some of the stew left over.  No worries, I’m sure someone will take it off your hands!  🙂 Cut a few slits in the top and brush with some egg/water mixture and bake the pie for about 40 minutes until golden brown.

 

Enjoy the Journey!
