Chicken Pot Pie

So- what's more traditional than chicken pot pie?  I'm basing this on the fact that this was the staple we used to get from the sales at the Hutterite colony's.  

Inspired by meeting more friends dealing with the allergy mom syndrome (love it!) I wanted to transform a recipe.  I searched through a new cookbook I acquired from the library 

And found a recipe that I decided to tackle.  I also decided to double it since I am trying to freeze a lot of meals for fall & winter when we can't rely on throwing something on the BBQ.  

I made a few adjustments of course...

Unsalted butter = vegan becel

Chicken thighs = chicken breasts (because they were on sale)

Shallots = onion (still not 100% sure what a shallot is)

White wine = just added more broth

Half-and-half= rice milk   - I knew this would create an issue because rice milk is much closer to water than milk, so I also added a tbsp on corn starch with some water and a bit more flour

Consistency turned out great!!

My intention was to make the pie for a dinner party we are attending and serve the mixture like a stew to Kason, assuming the pie crust had egg.  Then I read the ingredients:

Looks like the 'ol egg replacer is cheaper than eggs for this manufacturer!  Ps- wondering why I didn't make my crust from scratch?  Cut me some slack- I'm working on this whole "cooking from scratch" idea on my own pace!  That's a future project.  

That being said- I don't think Kason will miss pie crust & since we try to give him things prepared by us to avoid any risk, he will be eating chicken pot pie stew while we eat pie.

I almost don't want to post the pick of my pre- cooked finished product because it looks so amateur but I know tastes delicious but that is what committing to writing a blog about food trials is all about 

Looking forward to eating this goodie & trying to convert more recipes to Kason Friendly recipes!
