​
1) Prepare single pie crust dough. Keep in the fridge until needed.
​
2) Boil potatoes and carrots, until tender.
​
3) Cook and shred chicken.
​
4) In a large frying pan, saute chopped onion for 5 minutes in olive oil. Add vegetables, chicken and Italian seasoning, black pepper and garlic powder. Pour mixture into a bowl.
​
5) In a medium pot, make the creamy cheese sauce. Add dairy-free butter, coconut milk, dairy-free cheese, nutritional yeast, and rice flour. Once the sauce has thickened, pour it over the vegetable and chicken mixture.
​
Two Options:
Large Chicken Pot Pie:
Pour chicken and vegetable mixture into a ceramic casserole dish. On a piece of parchment paper roll out the dough until it is large enough to cover the chicken mixture, place it on top. Using a fork poke a few holes in the top, to allow the heat to escape. Place in a 400-degree oven for about 35 minutes until the crust is golden.
​
6 Mini Chicken Pot Pies:
Divide pie crust into 6 small balls.
Grease 6 small ceramic ramekins. Fill each tart shell 3/4 full. Next, take the 6 dough balls and flatten them with a cup or roller. Place on each of the dishes. Pierce with a fork, to allow heat to escape. Place in a 400-degree oven for about 25 minutes, until crust is golden.

Serve warm. These are so delicious!!
