How to Make Gluten Free Chicken Pot Pie

Prepare the pie crust per the recipe. Roll the dough onto parchment paper to a 1/8-inch thickness and refrigerate while preparing the filling.
Preheat your oven to 375°F and grease a 10-inch round ovenproof dish or four 6-inch individual dishes.
In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add olive oil, onions, salt, and pepper. Sauté until translucent (about 6 minutes).
Slowly sprinkle in the flour, stirring constantly. Cook for 2 minutes until fragrant and nutty.
Gradually add chicken stock and milk, stirring until the mixture simmers and thickens.
Add mixed vegetables and chicken. Stir well and spoon the filling evenly into the prepared dish(es).
Top with the chilled dough, crimping or pinching the edges to seal. Trim excess crust and cut an ‘X’ on top for steam to escape.
Brush with egg wash, place on a rimmed baking sheet, and bake for 35 minutes or until golden brown.
Let cool slightly and serve.
