Vian Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Ok, obviously I'm not asking if I can have regular old run of the mill chicken pot pie. I haven't eaten wheat/gluten in over 3 years. When I make chicken pot pie, I skip any bottom crust because it's useless, and usually just put like a drop biscuit topping on it. I've found that cassava flour makes great biscuits and baked goods. I know that it's allowed to use alternative flours (like cassava) to make breading/coatings for meats, and I know it's ok to use them to thicken gravies and sauces, and I also know that SWYPO and paleo baked goods are out per the whole30 rules. What about a biscuit topping for chicken pot pie? Is that too much like making paleo baked goods? This would NOT be a food without breaks for me, if that helps.

drtracyb Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 I can't imagine they would say yes to a biscuit topping on top of a pot pie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, no and no to the chicken pot pie with a biscuit, no matter what the biscuit topping is made of. You would be recreating foods/baked goods that are not allowed. You could make a chicken pie or shepherd's pie with potato topping. As a bonus, that will be more nutritious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praxisproject Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Keep your biscuit recipe for Post-Whole30. Potato or other veggie would be a great swap and much more nutritious. For those wondering why, the amount of "flours" required for any type of biscuit/bread/etc dough will be pushing your veggies off your plate at best, SWYPO at worst. Breadings and coatings with compliant things use a very small amount, but anything which is a dough has a skewed template. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
