Chicken Pot Pie
The swap
Dairy-free butter sticks in the crust, plant milk in the filling. Store-bought pie crusts sometimes contain butter, so check.
Ingredients
Crust
Filling
Milk hides in breads, broths, and seasonings. Read the label of every packaged ingredient, every time.
Steps
- For the crust, mix the flour and salt, cut in the butter, and stir in just enough water to hold together. Flatten into a disk and chill 30 minutes.
- Heat oven to 400°F. Cook the onion, carrot, and celery in the oil 6 minutes. Stir in the flour for 1 minute. Whisk in the broth and milk and simmer until thick. Add the chicken, peas, thyme, salt, and pepper. Pour into a deep 9-inch pie dish.
- Roll the crust to fit the top. Lay it over, crimp the edges, and cut 4 slits. Brush with plant milk.
- Bake 30 to 35 minutes until golden and bubbling. Rest 10 minutes.
