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.

    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.

How do you keep chicken pot pie crust from getting soggy? ›

Brush the Bottom with Corn Syrup or Egg White

During that time, the egg cooks into a glossy layer that will later prevent the filling from seeping into the crust and making it soggy.

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

At a very basic level, the flour combines with the water to activate the gluten. The gluten gives the dough it's stretch and strength. Too much gluten and your pie crust will be tough and leathery. Too little and you'll have weak dough that tears and loses its shape when baked.

Does pie crust contain gluten? ›

An ordinary pie will have some gluten in the crust, though pastry flour has less gluten than all purpose or bread flour. But pie crust doesn't depend on gluten development, so you can easily make it with gluten free flour blends, or with nut flour if you don't need a flaky texture.

How do you keep gluten free pastry from crumbling? ›

Resting the pastry is very important. This will give the flour enough time to absorb the water so it will become more manageable. Refrigerate for a minimum of an hour or overnight if preferred. Try rolling out the pastry between two sheets of cling film, as the dough may be delicate, sticky and crumbly.

How do you keep gluten-free dough from crumbling? ›

Xanthan gum.

This acts as a binder (essentially a gluten replacement) and prevents the pie crust from being too crumbly and from tearing or cracking when you roll it out and use it to assemble the pie crust. It allows you to easily crimp the edges, create a lattice or anything else you might want to achieve.

Why do you not use a bottom crust on chicken pot pie? ›

I only gave my pot pie a top crust, because I feel like the bottom crust always gets soggy. If you do want to add a bottom crust, I suggest blind baking it. What does blind baking mean? It's when you bake your pie crust without a filling in order to crisp it up.

Should I bake the bottom pie crust first? ›

Pre-baking is a must if you're looking for a flaky pie crust. It's especially helpful for recipes with a wet center. Recipes for most tarts, pies, and quiches call for pre-baking to ensure that the final product doesn't end up soggy.

Why is gluten-free baking so difficult? ›

Gluten-free flours often contain fine starches, so they absorb more liquid than conventional flour. To address this, gluten-free recipes usually call for more liquid and produce looser batters. They may also call for a larger quantity of leavening, like baking powder, to help add volume and lighten the texture.

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 take longer to bake? ›

Bake gluten free pizza for longer than you would bake a regular pizza of the same size. For the pizza in the video above, the bake time is about 13 minutes on a hot baking stone. (A dough with gluten would be about 8 minutes.)

Is Papa John's gluten-free crust really gluten-free? ›

A breakdown of that crust: Like we said, it's made out of ancient grains including quinoa, sorghum, teff, and amaranth, which are naturally gluten-free and high in protein and fiber. A small cheese pizza with the gluten-free crust also has 50 fewer calories than their original small-sized cheese pizza crust.

Does Cool Whip have gluten in it? ›

YES, Cool Whip is gluten-free!

Although it does not carry a gluten-free certification on the label, Cool Whip doesn't contain any sources of gluten. In addition, Kraft Heinz states that cross-contamination with gluten has not occurred during the manufacturing of Cool Whip products.

Why is gluten-free baking crumbly? ›

This might be due to the lack of gluten but can be for many other reasons. Lots of gluten free flour is rice based and this can result in a dry and slightly gritty texture. The Juvela gluten free White and Fibre Mix have been developed to be as comparable to gluten containing flour as possible.

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 crumbling? ›

To fix a dry and crumbly pie crust, try the following tips:
  1. **Add Water Gradually:** If the dough appears too dry, gradually add small amounts of ice water until the dough holds together when pinched. ...
  2. **Use Cold Ingredients:** Make sure your butter or shortening is very cold when incorporating it into the flour.
