If you’re brainstorming cozy winter meals to enjoy, chances are you’ll think of chicken pot pie. It’s like a warm hug from your grandma, but for your insides. Whether it’s snowing wherever you are, or still a nice 75 degrees Fahrenheit, we can all use a good comfort meal this holiday season. And while grandma’s recipe may not have mixed chicken with coconut, once you try it you’ll never go back. Our coconut curry chicken pot pie delivers all the deliciousness of a classic pot pie, with a creamy, tangy, spice-packed twist.
The Recipe Card
With the holiday season in full swing, we know there’s already SO much cooking to do. So you may be thinking to yourself – why would I make a homemade chicken pot pie when I can just get one frozen? Trust us, this recipe is worth it. Picture this: flaky pastry crust, a hearty mix of veggies, and savory, steaming chicken pouring out of the pie. Mouth already watering? Well, there’s more. Add in our creamy, sumptuous vegan coconut yogurt with bold, fiery red curry paste, and you’ve got a perfectly sweet and savory coconut curry to elevate this classic. You’ll be leaving the dinner table with your belly warm and grinning from cheek to cheek. The freezer aisle could never compete.
What You'll Need
- 4 tbsp salted butter
- ½ onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 carrots, peeled and diced
- 2 Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 tbsp Thai red curry paste
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken stock
- 1 cup frozen or fresh peas
- 1.25 lbs shredded chicken breast
- 2 of 4.4 oz cups of Harmless Harvest Unsweetened Plain Dairy-Free Yogurt Alternative
- 2 frozen pie dough sheets, defrosted
- 1 egg + 1 tsp water (beaten together for egg wash)
How To Make It
1. Preheat oven to 375°F. In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, and carrots, and cook for about 5 minutes until softened. Add potatoes and curry paste, stirring to combine, and cook for 2 minutes. Add flour and mix to coat the vegetables. Cook for 1 minute.
2. Gradually pour in chicken stock, stirring constantly. Bring to a boil and cook until mixture thickens, about 8-10 minutes. Stir in peas and shredded chicken. Add salt and pepper to taste.
3. Remove from heat and mix in Harmless Harvest Unsweetened Plain Dairy-Free Yogurt Alternative. Grease a pie pan and line it with one sheet of defrosted pie dough. Fill with chicken mixture.
4. Using second sheet of pie dough, cut 2-inch strips and weave them into a lattice pattern on the plastic sheet dough came with. Gently transfer it on pie. Trim and crimp edges, then brush dough with egg wash.
5. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until pie is bubbly and golden brown. Let cool for 15 minutes before serving.
