Low FODMAP Chicken Pot Pie – Gluten Free with Veggie Friendly Option

I’ve been all about being cozy, whether it’s fluffy blankets, cashmere joggers (please do yourself a favor and invest in these!), soothing scented candles, or comfort food, like this low FODMAP chicken pot pie. It feels a little strange because this isn’t something I’m typically focused on in May. Typically late spring motivates me to eat light and fresh, wear airy clothing, and spend lots of time at the park. But, we’re not living in typical times right now so I’m pivoting a little bit and enjoy just a liiiiittle bit more coziness before I shift into summer mode.

I’m really digging on this low FODMAP chicken pot pie right now because it is the perfect combo of cozy meets light and healthy. It is packed full of tummy-friendly veggies and the best part is you can use just about any vegetable you have on hand! In my recipe I use kale, white + sweet potato, rainbow carrots, and scallions but I’ve also used:

1. Zucchini
2. Butternut squash (great sweet potato sub if you don’t tolerate)
3. Spinach
4. Broccoli (heads are low FODMAP, 1c serving)
5. Black lentils (from a can is low FODMAP friendly, 1/2c serving)
6. Mushroom (oyster mushrooms are low FODMAP, 2c serving)
7. Parsnips + Rutabaga (great white potato sub if you don’t tolerate)

You can whip this low FODMAP chicken pot pie up in about an hour and have enough for a full week of meals for 2! I have not tried freezing it because each time I make this my husband devours it so quickly there is barely enough left for me, but I imagine it would free well if you have proper airtight containers.
