Chicken Pot Pie
I am on Day 4 of Clean Gut. I am doing it with almost my entire team and it’s going ok so far. Honestly, this morning I am feeling a little headachy and tired.
However, on Saturday we had a chicken pot pie feast! Here is a great recipe for “clean” pot pie.

4. Add the chicken and cook until most of the pink hue is
gone from the flesh.
5. Add the peas and ½ cup of the chicken broth.
6. Continue simmering until the vegetables are tender and
the chicken is fully cooked.
7. Salt and pepper to taste, and set aside.
8. In a medium skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of
coconut oil over medium-high heat.
