Classic dish made 100% gluten free
Chicken Pot Pie with a little lattice work on the crust: this comfort dish is a classic that dates back decades and making a tasty gluten free version is a win. I do a classic filling with a single crust on top to make it lighter and less dense. The filling consists of chicken, carrot, onion, celery, potato, peas, and gravy all mixed together and with flaky crust on top. Decided to pull out my baking skills too by attempting my first pie lattice and not bad for a rookie. Grab a plate, a slice and let’s enjoy this Sunday comfort food.
