Birds of a feather.....

Birds of a feather flock together....so I am sure my other gluten intolerant friends will enjoy this new recipe. I have made it twice and gotten good reviews, and one reviewer wasn't even Gluten Intolerant!

Southern Style Chicken Pot Pie
This recipe is packed full of veggies and meat and is topped with a honey crusted corn bread. It makes a 9 x 13 pan and freezes well!

1 lb. chicken breast-cooked and shredded (save stock)
4 med. potatoes peeled and cubed
2 large carrots peeled and sliced
1 stalk of celery chopped
1 red pepper chopped
1C peas (frozen is fine)
1C corn (frozen is fine)
1T fresh basil washed and chopped
2T rice flour (white)
2 T olive oil
1/2t. dry mustard
1/2t. salt
1/2t. pepper

Topping
1/2C Bob's GF Cornbread Mix
1/4C rice flour (white)
2T tapioca flour
1 1/2t. baking powder
3/4t. xanthum gum
1/2t. salt
1-2T honey
3/4C milk (I use rice)
2T oil

Boil chicken breasts with seasonings and a stalk of celery and some onion slices.
Boil potatoes, carrots, celery until cooked. Make a roux* with the oil and rice four. Stir on med. heat until combine and bubbly. It may even looked a little pastey. Add dry mustard, salt, and pepper. Slowly add 1 3/4 C reserved chicken stock(strain if needed)stirring gently to combine. As you stir it will thicken and eventually bubble. Add red peppers, corn, peas, basil. (and any other frozen veggies you use) Add chicken and other veggies, simmer for 8-10 minutes. Pour into 9 X 13" pan. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

To make topping mix all topping ingredients together. This will be a wet dough. Pour dough lengthwise along the top of the meat and veggie mixture. Immediately take the back of a spoon or spatula and spread dough to edges. It need not be perfect, but try to cover as much as possible.

Bake uncovered 30 minutes at 425 degrees. Let rest 15 minutes before cutting


Note all ingredients are gluten free, dairy free, and egg free.
*roux is a white sauce base made using equal amounts of oil and flour...in my Gluten world I used butter and white flour, but oil and rice flour worked great!
