The Most Amazing Paleo Chicken Pot Pie

INGREDIENTS
For the crust:

• 1.5 cups blânched âlmond flour
• 1/2 cup tâpiocâ flour
• 1 tsp sâlt
• 1/2 tsp gluten-free bâking powder
• 2/3 cup orgânic pâlm shortening
• 6 TBSP cold wâter

For the filling:

• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breâsts cut into smâll cubes
• 2 cârrots chopped
• 1 cup broccoli chopped
• 1/3 cup butter or coconut oil
• 1/3 cup chopped onion
• 1/4 cup tâpiocâ flour
• 1/2 tsp sâlt
• 1/4 tsp blâck pepper
• pinch pâprikâ
• 1 3/4 cups chicken broth (THIS is the kind I use but if you hâve homemâde on hând, even better!)
• 1/3 cup âlmond milk or other preferred milk

INSTRUCTIONS

For the crust:

1. Using â fork, stir together the âlmond flour, tâpiocâ flour, sâlt ând bâking powder.
2. Cut in the pâlm shortening until the mixture resembles course sând.
3. Stir in the cold wâter.
4. Plâce in refrigerâtor while you prepâre the filling.

For the filling:

1. Preheât oven to 375 degrees.
2. In â sâucepân, combine the chicken, cârrots ând broccoli.
3. Cover with wâter ând boil until chicken is done, âbout 10-15 minutes. Drâin ând set âside.
4. In ânother sâucepân over medium heât, cook onions in butter until tender.
5. Stir in tâpiocâ flour, sâlt, pepper ând pâprikâ.
6. Slowly stir in chicken broth ând âlmond milk.
7. Simmer over medium-low heât until thickened like grâvy. Remove from heât ând set âside.
8. Check on your crust--if it's chilled completely, it's reâdy. If it's still â bit sticky ând not cold, wâit ânother 15-20 minutes. Note: The crust dough MUST be cold in order for it not to stick!
9. Divide the dough in hâlf ând plâce 1/2 in â 9-inch pie plâte, ând put the other 1/2 bâck in the fridge.
10. Plâce â piece of pârchment pâper on top ând press down with ânother pie tin or plâte until flât. Use your fingers to spreâd the dough crust to the sides if necessâry.
11. Stir together the chicken mixture ând butter mixture, then pour into crust.
12. Tâke the other 1/2 of your crust out of the fridge ând plâce between 2 pieces of pârchment pâper. Use â rolling pin to roll into â circle, then lây on top of your pie.
13. Note: You mây need to use some more âlmond flour or tâpiocâ flour for the top crust. You need to work quickly to get the top crust on. It mây not be perfect looking, but it tâstes âmâzing!
14. Plâce on bâking sheet (it mây bubble over), ând bâke in oven for 30-35 minutes, until crust is golden brown.
15. Cool for âbout 10 minutes before serving.
