by Rebecca July 6, 2022
written by Rebecca

Servings: 4

This delicious one-pot, chicken pot pie is a very comforting dish that you can easily make in less than thirty minutes. A filling dish with a fusion of Chicken Pot Pie filling and Chicken & Dumplings in a single pot.

Ingredients

1-1/2 c. shredded chicken breast (1/2 pound pre-cooked)

4 tbsp butter or vegan butter

1 c. sliced carrots

1 large shallot or small onion, chopped

4 ounces mushrooms, sliced

2 cloves garlic, pressed or minced

pinch dried thyme

3 tbsp gluten-free flour (I use Bob’s Red Mill 1-to-1 Baking Flour)

1 c. milk (any kind, I use unsweetened almond milk)

2 c. chicken stock or broth

1 tsp poultry seasoning

12 ounces package of gluten-free gnocchi

1 large or 2 small stalks of celery, thinly sliced

1/2 c. frozen peas

homemade seasoned salt and pepper

How to make One-Pot Gnocchi Chicken Pot Pie

Step 1: Mel the butter in a hot Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Then, add the carrots, mushrooms, celery, and shallots/onions. Stir well and saute for about 3 to 4 minutes or until the mushrooms have released their liquid and evaporated. Season with homemade seasoning salt, and pepper. Cook further until the veggies have softened, slightly decreasing the heat if needed. This takes an additional 6 to 7 minutes. Next, add the garlic along with the poultry seasoning, and dried thyme. Saute for another 1 to 2 minutes or until the garlic is aromatic.

Step 2: Over the vegetables, sprinkle the flour. Stir and cook for about a minute. Gradually pour in the chicken broth while stirring to prevent lumps. Next, pour in the milk and adjust the heat to medium-high. Bring everything to a boil and cook for another 5 to 6 minutes, stirring often, until the gnocchi is tender. Then, add the chicken and peas. If needed, season with more salt and/or pepper. Stir well.

Step 3: Into bowls, ladle the pot pie, and serve right away. Enjoy!

2 cloves garlic, peeled and finely minced

3 tbsp white vinegar, divided

3 tbsp lite soy sauce, divided (optional, coconut aminos, Tamari, or Bragg Liquid Aminos)

1-1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper

How to make One-Pot Black Pepper Chicken

Step 1: Place half of the soy sauce, half of the vinegar, and the sweetener in a medium-sized bowl. Mix well until blended. Then, add the chicken and toss to coat. Put in the fridge and marinate the chicken for about 30 minutes.

Step 2: In a skillet, heat the oil to medium-low heat. Once the oil is hot, add garlic and ginger. Cook for about 30 seconds or until the garlic is golden and aromatic. Be very careful not to burn the garlic.

Step 3: To the skillet, add the marinated chicken along with any of the juices in the bowl. Continue to cook for another 3 minutes before adding the bell pepper strips, the rest of the soy sauce, vinegar, and black pepper. Cook further until the peppers have softened and the chicken is completely cooked. This takes another 10 minutes.

Step 4: Remove from the heat when done and serve the chicken right away over brown rice or quinoa. Enjoy!

written by Rebecca

I am borderline addicted to this chick-fil-a chicken salad recipe. This might be a copycat of the famous chick-fil-a, but this is equally good! To make this, all you need are a few simple ingredients that you might already have on hand. Simply mix everything and slather on grilled sandwiches or croissants. Add a piece of lettuce, and voila! You have the best copycat of the well-known chick-fill-a!

This chick-fil-a chicken salad is a summer staple. I enjoy making this whenever I am craving something light and fresh. Every bite is loaded with flavor. If you also love chick-fil-a like I do and are searching for a great recipe nearest to the original, then you have to give this copycat recipe a try very soon. I honestly cannot tell the difference!

For this recipe, I used cooked chicken. Did I mention that this recipe is excellent to use up any leftover cooked chicken? To make things a lot easier and quicker, you are welcome to use rotisserie chicken. I throw together a big batch, making sure that I have enough for everyone. This chick-fil-a chicken salad is one of the most requested during picnics, trips to the park, and potlucks. I also love this with some Saltine crackers for an easy and quick lunch or even snack.

Ingredients

1 minced hard-boiled egg

2 c. cooked chicken breasts

1/3 c. diced celery

1/2 teaspoon sugar

1 c. mayonnaise

1/3 c. sweet pickle relish

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

How to make Copycat Chick-fil-a Chicken Salad

Step 1: Into tiny chunks, slice the cooked chicken and put them in a mixing bowl. Then, add the rest of the ingredients and mix well.

Step 2: To make a sandwich, spread butter on one side of each piece of bread. Place on the grill until lightly toasted. For the grilled sandwich, spread the chicken salad and top with a piece of lettuce. Serve and enjoy!
