Gluten-Free Chicken Pot Pie
- 420 grams all-purpose gluten-free flour mix
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 4 sticks (2 cups) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch cubes, plus more for greasing the parchment
- 1/2 cup ice-cold water, plus a few splashes more
- 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 pounds), cut into chunks
- Salt and Pepper
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups quartered mushrooms
- 1 large carrot, cut lengthwise and chopped
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, sliced
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme or 1 tablespoon dried thyme
- 1 medium russet potato, peeled and diced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose gluten-free flour mix
- 2 quarts chicken stock
- 1/2 bunch asparagus, woody stems removed, chopped
- 1 cup frozen edamame
- Make the dough: Put the flour and salt into a large food processor.
- Pulse them together until the flour is fluffy and aerated.
- Add the butter.
- Pulse ten times.
- The flour and butter should look like a sandy mixture with chunks of butter still visible.
- Pour in 1/2 cup of the water.
- Pulse five times.
- The dough should look moistened but not wet, and gathering but not collected into a ball.
- If there are any dry patches of flour remaining, add more water 1 tablespoon at a time.
- The final dough should look a bit like cheese curds.
- Form the dough into discs: Dump the curds of dough onto a clean, cool surface.
- (A piece of parchment paper works well here.)
- Gather them loosely into a pile.
- Put the heel of your hand on the top portion of the pile and press down and away from you.
- Repeat this with the entire pile until you have a smooth pie dough.
- Cut the pie dough into half.
- Take one half and press the dough onto itself, as though you are closing the page of a book; repeat with the other side.
- Form the pie dough into a smooth disc and cover with plastic wrap.
- Repeat with the other half of the dough.
- Let the discs of dough rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Roll out the dough: Take the pie dough disks out of the refrigerator and let them sit out until they have come to a chilly room temperature, about 15 minutes or so.
- Put one disc of dough between two lightly greased pieces of parchment paper.
- Pat down the disk and put the rolling pin on top of it.
- Now, imagine that the dough is the face of a clock.
- Roll out once at 12 o'clock.
- Then, lift the pin and roll at 12:10.
- Moving in "ten-minute" increments, roll out the dough to slightly larger than your pie pan.
- Lift the top paper, put a 9-inch pie pan on top of the pie dough, and flip it over.
- Carefully, strip away the parchment paper.
- Go slowly.
- Voila!
- Pat the dough down into the pan.
- If some of the pie dough has stuck onto the parchment, no need to worry.
- Simply peel it off and pat into the rest of the pie dough.
- Roll out the second disc of pie dough in a similar fashion.
- Put the pie pan and the top piece of dough in the freezer while you make the chicken filling.
- Sear the chicken: Set a Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
- Pour in 2 tablespoons of the oil.
- Put half of the chicken into the hot oil.
- Let it cook for 2 to 3 minutes, then stir it up and cook until it is evenly browned.
- Remove the cooked chicken from the oil and repeat with the remaining chicken.
- Cook the vegetables: Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in the Dutch oven.
- Add the mushrooms, carrot, onion and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until the onion is soft and translucent, about 7 minutes.
- Add the thyme and cook until it is fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add the potato.
- Make the gravy: Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir.
- Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Pour in the chicken stock, stirring it into the vegetables.
- Bring the stock to a boil and then turn the heat down to simmer.
- Simmer the stock, stirring occasionally, until it begins to thicken, about 15 minutes.
- Finish the filling: Add the asparagus and edamame to the vegetable mixture.
- Stir until they are fully incorporated.
- Taste the filling and season with salt and pepper if needed.
- Fill the pie: Let the filling cool to room temperature.
- Pour it into the prepared pie pan.
- Allow the remaining piece of pie dough too come to a chilly room temperature.
- Top the pie: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Flip the pie dough on top of the pie.
- If the dough sticks and breaks, just pat the pieces together.
- Working with slightly wet fingers, crimp the edges of the pie dough together.
- Bake the pie: Put the pot pie onto a parchment-lined sheet pan to catch the drippings during baking.
- Bake the pot pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is piping hot and starting to ooze out of the pie crust, about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
- Cool the pie: Allow the pie to cool to room temperature.
- Serve!
