Unlike regular wheat, einkorn naturally has less phytic acid and is easier to digest, making it perfect for anyone seeking a gluten-free option.

Coconut cream is a remarkable substitute for cream in many recipes. Its unique flavor and texture create a creamy, sweet filling that is both satisfying and comforting. By using coconut cream in the biscuits too, this dish is absolute perfection. Trust me, once you have experienced the impeccable taste and texture that coconut cream provides, you will never miss traditional cream again. Coconut cream is the secret ingredient that will take your cooking to the next level. So go ahead and experiment with it in your favorite recipes– the results will blow your mind.

HOW TO MAKE THE BEST CHICKEN POT PIE

Making the biscuits:

  1. Mix all the ingredients: einkorn flour, baking powder, olive oil, coconut cream, and salt.
  2. Mix until incorporated, if too dry, at a few drops of icy water.
  3. Put in fridge to rest until filling is ready.

Making the chicken filling:

  1. Start by searing the chicken breasts, as they need a few minutes to rest. Add 2 tbsp olive oil to the hot pan, and right away, add as many chicken breasts as you can without crowding them too much; I said three at a time. Sear each chicken breast till golden brown on each side, depending on the thickness of your chicken.
  2. Set aside chicken on a plate and let it cool
  3. . Please don’t throw away all the juices from the chicken; it depends on the flavor of the filling. Add chopped onions, carrots, and potatoes to the pan, and sauté on medium heat for 10 minutes until they soften.
  4. Add cream, dried thyme, parsley, garlic powder, cumin, and bay leaves. Cook for 10 minutes.
  5. Mix half a cup of boiling water with 1 tbsp of einkorn flour; when incorporated, add to skillet. Chop chicken breasts and add to the skillet.
  6. Cook for ten more minutes, then transfer to an oven-safe pan.

ASSEMBLING

  1. Take the biscuit dough out of the fridge and roll it out on a non-stick surface or lightly floured countertop and cut with a circle cutter.
  2. Top the filling with the biscuits and place in a 400-degree Fahrenheit oven for about 30 minutes.
  3. Allow to cool a bit, and enjoy!

Freeze a Chicken Pot Pie & Reheat a Chicken Pot Pie

And the best part? You can freeze it for later which means you can have a delicious home-cooked meal any time, without the hassle. So don’t limit yourself and let your culinary imagination soar with this mouth-watering recipe.

Place cooked chicken pot pie filling into a glass baking dish or food-safe ziplock bag (my preferred way). Freeze biscuits in a separate food-safe bag in a single layer.

To reheat: take the frozen chicken pot pie and place it in the refrigerator the day before (or at least the night before) to thaw. (if using food-safe freezer bags, it will take a lot less time). Transfer to a baking dish and top with FROZEN biscuits.

Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 180 degrees Celsius for 45 minutes or until bubbly and the biscuits turn a golden brown.

FAQ:

Do I have to use Einkorn Flour?

Einkorn or other ancient heirloom wheat has always been my go-to because it is a healthier way to consume grains. It helps break down the phytic acid and makes it more digestible. (Source) I am saying that you can switch the flour to a different kind. Just be aware you might need to add a bit more/less hydration.

This chicken pot pie is more than just a recipe, it’s a canvas to express your creativity and love for good food.  Whether you choose Einkorn flour or a different type of flour, there are endless possibilities to make it your own.

Can you make this chicken pot pie recipe with almond milk instead of coconut cream? 

If you are dairy-free, the coconut cream is almost always a great alternative; here, it gives a light, sweet coconut flavor and thick texture, which is just fantastic. Don’t be afraid to experiment with your favorite ingredients, almond milk might be too runny so youll want to find something with a thicker texture like butter and cream for a rich and indulgent flavor, or an alternative biscuit recipe for those with gluten-free preferences. 

Can you make this chicken pot pie gluten-free?

To make this a gluten-free chicken pot pie, use your favorite gluten-free biscuit recipe. Instead of thickening the pot pie filling with flour, use a little bit of coconut flour or make a cornstarch (or arrowroot) slurry.

What goes with chicken Pot Pie?

Add a plate of fresh vegetables to your chicken pot pie for a well-rounded and balanced meal. Incorporate in-season veggies like tomatoes, cucumbers, and carrots or try fermented sauerkraut and pickled items for a tangy flavor. A refreshing cabbage salad with mayo, honey, and lemon or roasted vegetables with olive oil and coarse salt can also make for a crispy and flavorful side.

Suppose you’re looking for a healthier and more delicious way to bake and cook; look no further than einkorn. This ancient grain is much more than just a trendy ingredient. It is packed with nutrients and health benefits, making it a game-changer in home cooking.

So why not try some Einkorn recipes today? With its quick and simple preparation, you can easily incorporate it into your daily meals without putting too much thought into it. Einkorn is such a wonderful grain can do for you and your health!

HOW TO MAKE EASY WEEK NIGHT TOMATO SOUP 

Let’s make Einkorn Buns that will light up your day!

  1. First things first, gather all the ingredients: einkorn flour, baking powder, melted butter, yeast, water and salt.
  2. Now, let’s put in some handwork and mix all the ingredients until they are perfectly incorporated. If the dough seems too dry, don’t worry, all you need to do is add a few drops of extra water.
  3. Give yourself and the dough a breather. Allow it to rest in a bowl covered with a damp towel for an hour. You’ll see it double in size, and that’s a sight to behold!
  4. Now, let’s shape the dough into 12 equal balls and let them rest for another hour or more. Keep in mind that since we are using einkorn, the dough won’t rise like all-purpose flour dough would.
  5. It’s time to bake! Preheat the oven at 180C (400F), and pop in the buns for 18-22 minutes until slightly golden brown. You’ll know they’re done when the bottoms are nicely browned.
  6. Enjoy the smell, taste, and accomplishment of homemade Einkorn buns that will brighten up your day!

Let’s Make Perfect Brown Butter:

  1. Get ready to impress with the best brown butter you’ve ever made. Simply heat the butter in your pot over medium-high heat. Once it starts to boil, lower the heat to medium and let it simmer until a beautiful, foamy texture appears. Continue to stir the mixture occasionally, while scraping the bottom of the pan until the foam subsides, and the butter turns a beautiful golden brown.
    You’ll be met with a rich, nutty aroma that’s truly irresistible, with brown specks appearing at the bottom, marking the separation of milk solids. This entire process should take around two to seven minutes, depending on how much butter you’re using. Once it’s ready, quickly transfer the brown butter to a heatproof bowl, making sure it doesn’t burn in the hot pot.

TOMATO SOUP RECIPE

    1. Begin by placing butter in a bowl to let it cool. In a separate pot, simmer diced tomatoes without adding any more butter.
    2. After cooking the tomatoes for around 15 minutes, add brown butter, spices, herbs, and honey. Cook for a few more minutes until the aroma of the spices is prominent.
    3. Add 7 cups of water (1.5 liters) to the pot, bring to a boil, and then lower heat to medium-low. Allow the soup to cook for up to 4 hours to enhance its flavor. This slow-cooking process produces a comforting soup and fills your home with a delightful aroma.

Looking to prepare a delicious soup for someone dealing with IBS? 

Look no further! This soup is already modified to be IBS-friendly by leaving out garlic and onion. This simple gesture will not only help them feel more comfortable, but it will also show them that you care about their well-being.
However, be sure to double-check the ingredients list with your friend as it can vary from person to person. As a general rule, avoid using cherry tomatoes to make sure the soup is as gentle on their stomach as possible. You’ve got this – let’s make a soup that is not only delicious but also thoughtful and considerate of others’ needs.

To enhance the richness and texture of the dish, a small amount of cream can be added prior to serving. If you prefer a more refined consistency, using a blender is also an option. However, this recipe was created with simplicity in mind so these extra steps can easily be skipped.
