Some of the hardest things to give up when you are dairy free are the creamiest dishes, macaroni and cheese, cheesecake and things like pot pie but with this dairy free chicken pot pie you can have the best of both worlds.

The longer you are dairy free, the more options you find to make delicious dishes without using butter, cream or cheese.

This pot pie was developed one afternoon because my husband loves pot pie and had mentioned that fact to me the previous week. I decided it couldn’t be that hard and made one using the leftover rotisseri chicken and roasted vegetables from the night before.

How to make a dairy free chicken pot pie

Prep your crust

Set out both crusts on the counter to warm. This makes it easier to roll out into you pie pan.
Fit the first crust into the bottom of the pan.

Prep your veggies and meat

Cut up your roast veggies and rotisseri chicken into bite sized pieces. Here is a tutorial on how I roast my veggies.

Make a Roux

Melt 4 TBSP of crisco, butter or margarine in a large skillet.
Slowly whisk in 2 TBSP of flour into the melted crisco.
Slowly pour in 2 cups of hot stock, boulion or bone broth ( I used Mrs. Millers ), stirring to combine.
Let simmer over low heat to thicken.
Whisk in one can of unsweetened coconut milk(or 1 cup of heavy whipping cream).
Add in the veggies and the meat. Stir to combine.
Pour into your prepared pie pan.
Place the top crust on and pinch the edges together.
Cut slits in the pie crust.
Place in the oven on a cookie sheet or else it will overflow and drip onto your oven!
Bake in a 425 degree oven for 45 minutes.
It freezes really well for up to 3 months.
