Ingredients

Units Scale
  • Homemade Thyme Butter Pie Crust ((see notes for recipe))
  • 1 rotisserie chicken (shredded)
  • 6 tbsp butter
  • 1 yellow onion (diced)
  • 3 carrots (diced)
  • 1 russet potato (diced into small cubes)
  • 1 can sweet green peas
  • 5 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1/3 cup flour
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 1/2 cup coconut cream
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne
  • 1/2 tsp mustard seed powder
  • 1/2 tbsp fresh thyme
  • 1 egg (beaten for egg was)


Instructions

  1. Prepare your Thyme Butter Pie Crust (see notes below for the recipe—takes 4 hours to chill) or use a store bought pie crust. 
  2. In a dutch oven or medium size pot, add butter, yellow onion, carrots, and potato to the pot. Sauté for about 10 minutes. Add garlic and sauté for a few more minutes.
  3. Add flour and stir for 2 minutes. Add chicken stock and coconut cream and bring to a simmer. Cook until the mixture has thickened to a gray-like consistency. Add salt, black pepper, cayenne, mustard powder, and thyme. 
  4. Add shredded rotisserie chicken and green peas to the mixture. Stir to combine and remove from the heat to cool as you roll out two 12” disks of pie crust.
  5. Roll our two 12” disks of pie crust. Transfer one to the pie dish and shape. Add the chicken pot pie filling to the crust. Using a pizza cutter, cut the second pie crust disk into rectangular pieces. Place them across the top of filling, leaving some open spaces for steam to release as it’s baking.
  6. Brush the top with egg wash and bake at 425 for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.
  7. Enjoy with friends and family on a cozy night in!
