Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 cups Chicken broth
• 1 cup Carrots, diced
• 1 cup Frozen peas
• 1 cup Celery, diced
• 1 medium Onion, diced
• 4 tablespoons Butter, unsalted
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1/3 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

In a large pot, add the chicken breasts and cover with 2 cups of chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10-12 minutes or until cooked through. Remove the chicken, allow it to cool slightly, and then shred it using forks.

Step 3

In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add diced carrots, celery, onion, and minced garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are just tender.

Step 4

Stir in the gluten-free all-purpose flour and cook for another minute, stirring constantly.

Step 5

Gradually whisk in the remaining chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened.

Step 6

Slowly stir in the heavy cream, then add the diced chicken, frozen peas, salt, pepper, thyme, and parsley. Mix well to combine.

Step 7

Continue cooking for about 5 minutes, ensuring the filling is well-seasoned. Adjust seasoning as necessary.

Step 8

Transfer the filling to a baking dish to use as part of your chicken pot pie recipe or allow it to cool before storing as desired.
