3. Stir well and add seasoning blend, fresh thyme, and cream. Bring to a boil and stir until flavors are combined.

4. Pour filling into your pie crust and top with puff pastry. Cut puff pastry to fit and seal edges using a fork.

7. Once fully baked let your pie settle for 5-10 minutes before cutting and serving.

Tips for the best gluten-free pot pie

• Use high quality gluten-free crust, my personal favorite is the Wholly gluten-free brand for the best flaky texture.

• Opt for bone broth over regular broth for deeper flavor and gut support

• Swap chicken for leftover turkey after the holidays

• Use fresh herbs for deeper flavor

• Add peas or any extra veggies you enjoy! Just make sure to add extra bone broth or cream because the ingredients tend to soak up the sauce

This gluten-free chicken pot pie proves that comfort food can be deeply nourishing & delicious. By utilizing bone broth, rotisserie chicken, and anti-inflammatory ingredients, this pie becomes warm, creamy, and satisfying without the heaviness. Serve it on a chilly night, share it with family, or meal prep it for the week. It's a cozy classic your gut, and your taste buds will love.
