Ingredients
3-4 Tbs olive oil, divided
3 cups broccoli crowns, chopped
1.5 cups shredded store-bought rotisserie chicken
1 large (or 2 medium) sweet potatoes, diced
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 leeks, rinsed and diced
2-3 cloves of garlic, minced
1 cup almond milk
1 1/2 – 2 cups chicken broth
1/3 cup oat flour
1-2 Tbs fresh thyme
1-2 Tbs fresh parsley
1 store-bought pie crust (We like Immaculate Baking Company!)
Directions
- Preheat over to 400F
- Cut up the broccoli crowns into bite sized pieces and place on baking sheet. Drizzle with 1-2 Tbsp. of olive oil and salt. Bake for 20 mins or until lightly browned and beginning to crisp.
- Chop the sweet potato and leeks, and mince the garlic.
- Add 1 tsp of oil to the skillet, add leeks and cook until they begin to soften, about 3 minutes.
- Add sweet potatoes, garlic, salt and pepper, cook for an additional 5 minutes.
- Add almond milk to skillet.
- In a small bowl add flour to chicken broth and stir until completely combined, then add mixture to skillet.
- Bring to a boil, lower heat, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until a thickened gravy forms, if gravy becomes too thick, add additional chicken stock 1 Tbsp at a time to thin out to desired consistency.
- Uncover and stir in thyme, parsley, and baked broccoli
- Reduce oven heat to 350
- Scatter chicken evenly along the bottom of a 2″ deep pie dish that has been oiled with cooking spray, then pour over the skillet mixture. Smooth out and top with crust.
- Lightly brush the crust with olive oil
- Bake for 30 minutes, until crust is light golden brown, and the gravy is bubbling.
- Let cool for 5-10 minutes
Enjoy!
Notes
- *You may want to place the pie dish on a parchment lined cookie sheet, to catch any of the gravy that spills over.
