Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 1 cup Cold unsalted butter, cubed
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 4 tablespoons Cold water
• 2 cups Chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Onion, chopped
• 1 cup Carrots, diced
• 1 cup Celery, diced
• 1 cup Frozen peas
• 2 cups Gluten-free chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Gluten-free cornstarch
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 1 large Egg, beaten

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, xanthan gum, and salt. Add the cubed cold butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing with a fork until the dough just holds together. Gather into a ball, flatten into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 4

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onions, carrots, and celery, and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in shredded chicken, peas, black pepper, and thyme. Cook for 2 more minutes.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together chicken broth and cornstarch until smooth. Add to the skillet and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 5-6 minutes.

Step 7

Pour in the milk and adjust seasoning if necessary. Remove from heat and let the filling cool.

Step 8

Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish.

Step 9

Carefully place the pastry into the pie dish, trimming the excess. Pour the cooled chicken filling into the pastry-lined dish.

Step 10

Roll out the remaining dough to cover the top, place over the filling, and crimp the edges to seal. Cut a few slits in the top to allow steam to escape.

Step 11

Brush the pastry top with beaten egg.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

Step 13

Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
