I made this recipe for my family last night and it was a huge hit! I’m hoping to make a double recipe and send one pan over to my sister’s family. How long does this stay good in the fridge/freezer? Thanks!
Hi Alana, I’m so glad your family loves the chicken pot pie! I will usually only keep leftovers in the fridge for about 3 days and I don’t typically freeze casseroles for longer than 2 months. I hope that helps!
Hi there !
Want to try this recipe this evening for family dinner. Do you know if it’s possible to use a dairy free milk for filling and crust ?
I use almond milk more often than whole milk for cooking these days.
I followed the recipe but my batter for the “pie” topping came out so so thin, like liquid soup. I added more flour but it still wouldn’t thicken. I’m
Not sure why this happened.
What type of flour were you using?
This looks so good! Do you use this crust for any other recipes?
I’ve only used this crust on this chicken pot pie recipe. If you try it on something different, let me know how you like it! 🙂
Thanks for sharing! Does it keep long?
I wouldn’t store the leftovers for more than a couple days in the fridge.
What gluten free flour do you recommend? I used Bob’s mill and it didn’t raise and was doughy and flat
Bob’s Red Mill gluten free flour is great for things like cookies and cornbread, but not baked goods that need to rise or puff up. For baking things like breads and muffins, I most often use Cup4Cup.
I’ve made this a couple times and really enjoy it! Do you think I could make the “crust” on a cookie sheet separately to get it extra crispy. When I make it on top as a casserole I notice the underside stays very moist because of the filling
I’m glad you like the chicken pot pie Emily! I haven’t tried doing that. If you do, will you let me know how it turns out?
