Ingredients for Healthier Dairy-Free Chicken Pot Pie - 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded

1 cup carrots, diced
1 cup peas
1 cup celery, diced
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup chicken broth (or vegetable broth for a vegetarian option)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
Salt and pepper to taste
1 pre-made pie crust (or homemade if preferred)

Instructions

Creating your chicken pot pie is straightforward and enjoyable. Follow these steps for a delightful homemade meal:

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until fragrant.
Stir in the diced carrots, celery, and peas, cooking for about 5 minutes until slightly softened.
Add the shredded chicken, broth, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, allowing the flavors to meld for about 10 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and let the filling cool slightly.
Roll out your pie crust and fit it into a pie dish. Pour the chicken filling into the crust, spreading it evenly.
Place the top crust over the filling. Seal the edges by crimping with your fingers or a fork. Cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
Allow the pie to cool for a few minutes before serving to let the filling set.

Enjoy your healthier, dairy-free chicken pot pie warm, paired with a simple green salad or your favorite side dish. It’s perfect for family gatherings, cozy nights in, or meal prepping for the week ahead. Bon appétit!
