This recipe served our family of 8 at dinner, and 3 for lunch the next day.

If you have a smaller family you could put this in 2 small casserole dishes and freeze one for a future meal.

Pie dough:

• 1 3/4 cup gluten free flour mix

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 2 sticks butter cut into cubes

• 1/2 cup cold water

Filling:

• Six boneless, skinless chicken breast. Cut into chunks, add salt & pepper, & 2 quarts of organic chicken broth. (I started this about 2 o'clock in the crockpot.)

- in the meantime, in large bowl combine:

• 6-7 russet potatoes, peeled and diced

• 6-8 large carrots, chopped

• 3 tablespoons of minced garlic

• 1 tablespoon of dried thyme, or 2 teaspoons of fresh thyme

• 2 tablespoons of gluten-free flour

• One bunch of asparagus, chopped, or a bag of frozen peas.

(I started the vegetable prep work 2 hours before we ate dinner @ 4:45)

Directions:

-to make the dough, add the flour and salt, mix together.

- add the cubed butter, and blend. This should look sandy. Next, pour in 1/2 cup water, and blend.

- using 2 large rectangle pieces of parchment, or wax paper, dump the dough onto one piece, place the second piece on top and roll out into a rectangle that will cover your casserole dish.

- Once the chicken is finished cooking, combine the veggies with the cooked chicken.

- coat a 10 x 13 glass casserole dish with coconut oil.

- bake at 375° for 1 hour & 30 minutes

=== > ATTENTION:

I wanted to make a nice brown crust, so I put the oven on broil. As you can see I broiled TOO long. Make sure you DON'T leave the oven if trying this.

This dish is a protein, carbohydrate, and vegetables. The peas, potatoes, and flour crust is a carbohydrate. If you're watching your carbohydrate intake, you could omit the potatoes and peas and use broccoli and asparagus.

I hope your family enjoys this recipe as much as mine did. Be sure to let me know what you like about it and what you would change.
