Prep Details
Prep Time: 15 min
Cook Time: 20 min
Total Time: 35 min
Servings: 4-6
Ingredients
2 Tbsp Olive Oil (or avocado oil, for healthy fats)
1 lb cooked Chicken, shredded or diced (Rotisserie chicken works great)
1 medium Onion, diced
3 Garlic cloves, minced
2 Carrots, diced
2 Celery stalks, diced
1 cup Frozen Peas (optional)
1 cup Sweet Potatoes, diced
1/4 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour (or arrowroot powder)
3 cups unsweetened Almond Milk (or any dairy-free milk)
1 cup Chicken Broth
1 tsp Dried Thyme
1/2 tsp Dried Rosemary
1/2 tsp Smoked Paprika
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 Tbsp Nutritional Yeast (optional, for a creamy, cheesy flavor)
Optional swaps or notes:
For pot pie:
Pour the filling into a casserole dish or individual ramekins. Top with your favorite gluten-free crust or biscuits, and bake according to crust instructions.
Soup Variation:
Add an additional 1–2 cups of chicken broth.
Skip the thickening step or reduce the amount of gluten-free flour/arrowroot to keep it lighter.
Directions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet or pot over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, carrots, celery, and sweet potatoes. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened.
Sprinkle the gluten-free flour or arrowroot powder over the vegetables and stir until evenly coated. Cook for 1–2 minutes to remove the raw taste of the flour.
Slowly pour in almond milk and chicken broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring to a gentle simmer.
Add thyme, rosemary, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Let the mixture simmer for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens.
Stir in the cooked chicken and peas. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes until everything is heated through and the flavors meld together.
A Gentle Reminder
Food is one piece of the puzzle. This recipe is meant to support your body, not “fix” it. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure what your body needs next, clarity is always the first step.
