    This Super Easy Dairy Free Dutch Oven Chicken Pot Pie without Crust is a delicious and healthy version of a classic pot pie. This recipe also happens to be AIP, Paleo and Gluten Free.

    Is chicken pot pie gluten free?

    Traditionally, this dish is not gluten free. This version is crustless and therefore gluten free.

    Since this recipe doesn’t have a crust, you can have multiple options for biscuits. This versatility makes this a great recipe for a family with varying diets.

    If you’d like to serve this dish along with biscuits or cornbread, try these recipes.

    • Paleo Cornbread
    • AIP Hamburger Buns (that make a great biscuit)
    • Nut/Cassava Free AIP Hamburger Buns (also make great biscuits)

    Does chicken pot pie have dairy?

    Again, traditionally it does. It’s usually loaded with milk or cream and butter. However, this recipe uses neither. Coconut milk and arrowroot flour is used to thicken the soup in this recipe.

    How to reheat chicken pot pie without crust?

    Easy! Since you’ve made the biscuits or cornbread separately there is no risk of it getting soggy and gross. You reheat it like soup and can easily toast the biscuit in a toaster oven.

    Helpful Info for All Recipes

    • I always use extra virgin olive oil in all of my recipes unless stated otherwise.
    • I always use Himalayan sea salt or Celtic sea salt, unless otherwise noted.
    • The majority of my recipes are strict AIP or include notations for reintroductions. However while I make every effort to label non-AIP ingredients and recipes sometimes they slip past me. If you have questions, please ask in advance.
