Low FODMAP Chicken Pot Pie

Jump to Recipe

This low FODMAP chicken pot pie has tender chicken, sweet carrots, and mild leeks wrapped in a flaky gluten-free crust. The creamy sauce is made without high-FODMAP ingredients like onion or wheat, so it’s easier to digest but still rich and satisfying.

Ingredients Needed

• 2 chicken breasts (about 3 cups shredded): poached for tender texture.
• 3 cups low FODMAP chicken broth: divided for poaching and sauce.
• ⅓ cup butter (lactose-free if needed): for the roux base.
• ½ cup celery (low FODMAP portion): adds crunch and flavor.
• ½ cup leeks (green tops only): mild onion-like flavor without high FODMAPs.
• ⅓ cup gluten-free flour: thickens the sauce.
• ½ cup lactose-free milk or unsweetened almond milk: for creamy texture.
• 2 cups frozen peas and carrots: low FODMAP portion.
• ½ cup frozen corn: adds sweetness.
• ½ teaspoon kosher salt: enhances flavor.
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper: mild seasoning.
• 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning: warm savory flavor.
• ¼ teaspoon ground thyme: mild herbal note.
• 1 gluten-free pie crust: store-bought or homemade.
• 1 egg + 1 tablespoon water: for golden egg wash.

How To Make Low FODMAP Chicken Pot Pie

Poach Chicken:
Place chicken breasts in saucepan with 1 cup broth. Cover and simmer 10–15 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F. Rest, then shred.

Make Filling:
Melt butter in large saucepan. Add celery and leek greens; sauté until softened. Sprinkle gluten-free flour and whisk until bubbly.

Create Sauce:
Gradually whisk in remaining broth and milk until smooth. Stir in peas, carrots, corn, salt, pepper, poultry seasoning, and thyme. Simmer until thickened.

Combine Chicken and Filling:
Fold shredded chicken into sauce. Transfer mixture to a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate.

Top with Crust:
Lay gluten-free pie crust over filling. Cut 4 slits for steam to escape. Brush with egg wash.

Bake:
Bake at 375°F for 40–45 minutes until crust is golden. Let rest 10 minutes before serving.

Recipe Tips

• Use leek greens only; avoid white bulb (high FODMAP).
• Keep celery to ½ cup to stay low FODMAP.
• Use lactose-free milk for creaminess without symptoms.
• Make filling ahead; assemble and bake fresh for best crust texture.

How to Store & Reheat

• Fridge: Store covered up to 3 days; reheat at 350°F until warm.
• Freezer: Freeze cooled pie slices up to 2 months; reheat covered in oven.
• Reheat Tip: Avoid microwave for crust; bake for crisp texture.
