Ingredient notes

Chicken – You can use any leftover chicken for this recipe (shredded, rotisserie, canned, etc.) Alternatively, you could cut up and cook chicken quickly on the stovetop.
Mirepoix – Frozen mirepoix is a mix of chopped carrots, onion and celery. Using this frozen mix makes this recipe super-easy! You can use fresh chopped veggies too.
Coconut milk – This recipe uses full-fat coconut milk to keep it dairy free, but if you eat dairy it’s fine to use heavy cream instead.
Tapioca starch – Our preferred grain-free thickener for creamy sauces. You can substitute corn starch or another flour thickener if desired.

Tips from an expert home chef

Feel free to customize this recipe. If you have turkey instead of chicken, use that! Also, if you want other pot pie veggies you can substitute whatever you wish.
This is a great meal prep recipe! It’s perfect for leftovers and also freezer friendly, so make a big batch and use it later.
It’s surprisingly delicious served cold. Use it in place of chicken salad for things like sandwiches, wraps or on top of some greens.
Add in some fresh herbs. If you have them, a small amount of chopped fresh herbs (thyme, rosemary or parsley) can be a great addition to this recipe.
