How to Make Crustless Chicken Pot Pie
- If using raw chicken, start by browning chicken in the same deep pan you intend to use for the whole dish. If using rotisserie chicken, skip this first step (picture 1).
- Remove the chicken and add butter, shallots, and carrots, stirring frequently with a wood spoon while cooking over medium heat. Once carrots begin to soften, add corn and peas. If using a frozen vegetable medley, add them all at once (picture 2).
- Mix the flour into the vegetables till everything is coated, then stir in the broth over medium heat. Stir frequently so the flour doesnt clump and everything is smooth. Then mix in milk as it begins to bubble and thicken (picture 3).
- Stir frequently till the sauce has thickened and become creamy (picture 4).
- Spoon into oven-safe ramekins or one large baking dish (pictured below). A gratin dish would work too. Top with panko and broil till light brown on top – about 1 minute.
- Dairy Free – This chicken pot pie is really easy to make dairy-free. Use olive oil or Earth Balance Pressed Oils instead of butter. Oatly oat milk would make a really great milk substitute as you need something nice and creamy and I think oat milk has the best texture. Full fat coconut milk could also be used, although I think that might affect the flavor a bit more.
- Gluten Free – To make this crustless chicken pot pie gluten free, all you need to do is substitute the flour and panko. Some ideas for the roux (a flour and butter mixture to thicken the sauce) is to use cornstarch, arrowroot powder, or your flavor gluten free flour. My favorite gluten free pankos are Aleias and Jeffs Creations.
- Vegetarian – To make this vegetarian, just add another cup of mixed vegetables and omit the chicken.
This crustless chicken pot pie is really a full meal but here area few side dishes I love to pair with it.
Can I use Frozen Vegetables?
Sometimes when I have a really hard day and dont want to chop vegetables, Ill use a frozen bag of mixed vegetables. It usually comes with chopped up peas, carrots, sometimes corn, and green beans. This will work too!
I recommend using about 2 cups of the mixture. This wont be as flavorful as the original recipe. I find fresh vegetables always yield a better texture and flavor. But it works in a pinch!
