Ingredients
- For the Dairy-Free Pie Crust:

- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) cold dairy-free butter, cubed
- ½ cup ice water (plus more if needed)
- For the Creamy Filling:
- 2 tablespoons dairy-free butter
- 1 cup diced yellow onion
- 1 cup diced carrots
- 1 cup diced celery
- 1 cup diced potatoes (Yukon Gold or red)
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon dried sage
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups unsweetened dairy-free milk (almond, soy, or oat)
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 3 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 cup frozen corn

Instructions
- 1. Prepare the Dairy-Free Pie Crust: In a large bowl, whisk flour and salt. Cut in cold dairy-free butter until crumbly. Gradually add ice water, mixing until dough forms. Divide into two discs, wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- 2. Cook the Chicken and Vegetables: Heat 1 tablespoon dairy-free butter in a large pan over medium heat. Sauté onion, carrots, and celery for 5-7 minutes. Add potatoes, onion powder, garlic powder, thyme, and sage; cook for 5 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.
- 3. Make the Dairy-Free Roux and Sauce: Melt remaining dairy-free butter in the same pan. Whisk in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes. Gradually whisk in dairy-free milk and vegetable broth, simmering until thickened (5-7 minutes). Season with salt and pepper.
- 4. Assemble and Bake the Pot Pie: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Combine cooked vegetables, chicken, peas, and corn with the sauce. Roll out one dough disc and place in a 9-inch pie plate. Pour in filling. Roll out second disc to cover, crimp edges, and cut slits. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until golden and bubbly. Let rest 10-15 minutes before serving.
