Is there truly anything better than Chicken Pot Pie?  The crust is okay but the best part for me is the creamy inside filled with chicken, potatoes, peas, carrots and my favorite rosemary and thyme.  A traditional pot pie is made creamy from a standard roux of butter flour and milk, but the creaminess of my version is just from cooking some potatoes in broth and blending it with some nutpods or coconut milk for extra creaminess.  Mix that with the chicken, veggies and herbs and it’s and easy, healthy and delicious version!  I also use frozen veggies in this because I wanted it to be as easy as possible.  I packed it with those veggies to make it a full meal in one bowl!  It is a total crowd pleaser so I hope you love it too!

Ingredients we will use:

• Avocado Oil
• Onion
• Russet potatos
• Chicken broth
• Original Nut Pods (or coconut milk!)
• Kosher salt
• Black pepper
• Cooked chicken
• Peas & carrots
• Green beans
• Thyme
• Rosemary

How to make one-pot chicken pot pie

1. Start with the skillet– With your skillet start with the avocado oil and the finely chopped yellow onion, you will sauté those for about 5-7 min or until translucent.
2. Add to the skillet– Add about half the chopped potatoes to the skillet and all the chicken broth, bring to a boil then lower the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 6-8 min until the potatoes are fork tender.
3. Food processor– add the cooked potatoes and the nut pods (or coconut milk) to the food processor and blend until smooth, set aside.
4. Back to skillet– Add the remaining potatoes, avocado oil and salt and pepper back to the skillet and cook for 7 min stirring occasionally.  Now add the frozen peas, carrots and green beans
5. Final addition– Last step raise the heat to medium and cook for 5 min to soften all the veggies. Add the chicken, creamy potato mixture, chopped thyme and rosemary. Cook all together for another few minutes and finish was more salt and pepper.  Enjoy!

Notes
