6 servings
For the filling
- 1 ½ lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced into ¼-inch rounds
- 3 stalks celery, sliced ¼-inch thick
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup frozen peas
Ingredient noteCandida diets often limit peas early on because they are high in starch. This recipe works out to only about 2 1/2 tablespoons of peas per serving, which is likely fine. If you prefer to always avoid peas, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup whole milk
Chef's tipUse the same amount. Whole milk is richer, so a lower-fat milk will make the dish a little less creamy. This matters most in baking and custards, where the extra fat adds richness. - 3 tbsp cornstarch
Chef's tipFor thickening, use about 1 1/3 times as much tapioca starch, stirred into a spoonful of cold water first; take the pan off the heat soon after it thickens. - 3 tbsp cold water
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
For the biscuits
- 2 cups gluten free flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 6 tbsp cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
- ¾ cup whole milkChef's tipUse the same amount. Whole milk is richer, so a lower-fat milk will make the dish a little less creamy. This matters most in baking and custards, where the extra fat adds richness.
