Chicken Pot Pie
Creamy, comforting and filling is the perfect description for this classic chicken pot pie. Packed with flavour & loads of veggies, it tastes so much better than any freezer or store-bought pot pie. Having Wholesome pie crusts and a pack of mixed veg on hand in your freezer makes this an easy meal you can whip together anyway of the week!
INGREDIENTS
- Wholly Wholesome gluten free pie shells (comes in a pk of two)
- organic, free range chicken, 1-2 breasts or a handful of tenders (we used chicken from Yorkshire Valley Farms)
- 2 cups mixed organic veggies
- 1 cup chopped organic potatoes (feel free to leave the skins on)
- 1/2 chopped onion
- 4 cloves garlic
- Couple sprigs of fresh rosemary, thyme, sage or 1 tsp of each dried
- 1 tsp herbamare
- 1/2-1 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp flour
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup cream
DIRECTIONS:
- In a skillet, heat up some olive oil and add your chopped onion and minced garlic to sauté.
- Next mix in your herbs, cracked pepper and herbamare.
- Then add your chicken and sauté till cooked through and cut into bit sized pieces.
- Add your mixed vegetables and diced potatoes and stir for 2-3 min.
- Sprinkle flour over vegetables and chicken mix and stir to coat. Pour in your chicken broth and cream and stir till a thick sauce forms.
- Pour mix into uncooked pie shell and cover with second pie shell. Gentle lift second pie shells off to create a lid to the pot pie and cut three slits into top of shell to allow ventilation and pinch the edge of the pie with a fork to seal the two pie shells together.
- Bake in oven at 350 for 35-45 min until golden brown.

What is Shilajit? Shilajit is a sticky substance found in the rocks of the Himalayas. It develops over centuries from the slow decomposition of plants and is commonly used in Ayurvedic medicine. It is known for boosting energy, testosterone and preventing cognitive decline. What Are the Benefits of Taking Shilajit? Testosterone: Taking shilajit may improve testosterone levels in men. In one clinical study , half of the participants were given a placebo, and half were given a 250 milligram (mg) dose of purified shilajit twice a day. After 90 consecutive days, the study found that participants receiving purified shilajit had a significantly higher testosterone level compared to the placebo group. Fatigue: Naturally boosting your body’s mitochondrial function with shilajit supplements may help improve energy levels. Since shilajit is rich in fulvic acid, a strong antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory, it may also protect against free radicals and cellular damage. As a result, regular use of shilajit may contribute to longevity, a slower aging process, and overall better health. Menopause: During menopause, many females can begin to lose bone mass, making bones weaker. Taking Shilajit supplements daily may help postmenopausal women with bone mass loss improve their bone mineral density. Prevent Cognitive Decline: The fulvic acid in shilajit contributes to cognitive health by preventing the accumulation of tau protein. Tau proteins are an important part of your nervous system, but a buildup can trigger brain cell damage. How To Use Shilajit Shilajit is available in powder, capsule and liquid forms. For powder use, simply add a 1/4 tsp to a glass of water or milk and consume, for liquid use, same thing just dissolve a small drop into your drink. For capsule use, take the capsules with food.
