Chicken pies, of various persuasions, have been a staple of our diet over the last 6 years, but I had never thought of this version until I came across a Martha Stewart recipe for Chicken Pot Pies with Puff Pastry. This recipe is contains moderate salicylates and glutamates, but the vegetables can be easily substituted to make it FAILSAFE.

Directions
Note
Moderate Salicylates and Glutamates
Any type of pastry (commercial or home made) can be used for this recipe, you just need a square big enough to cover the top of the ramekins.
Variations:
1. Use mashed potato on top instead of pastry.
2. Substitute swede for the carrot and sweet potato, and chopped beans for the peas to make a low chemical / FAILSAFE version.
You can use corn flour (wheaten) instead of tapioca starch, but the pie filling will not be gluten/wheat free.
Refer to the recipes on the Basics Page for home made FAILSAFE vegetable stock.
