While the chicken is cooking, place two square sheets of aluminum foil on the counter. Spray lightly with oil.

While whisking, add the cornmeal. Whisk continuously over medium high heat for about 10 minutes or until thick.

When the potatoes are tender, add the peas. Stir.
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Place the 3 tablespoons cornstarch in a small dish with two tablespoons of cold water. Stir until dissolved. Add that mixture to the chicken and stir well.
Reduce the heat to medium and stir for about 3 minutes while the sauce thickens.
Ladle the chicken mixture into two small bowls. Place the round of cornstarch topping on top and place the bowls in the oven. Bake for 15 minutes. Serve.

Recipe Notes
While this may be a gluten free version of Chicken Pot Pie, you should try it even if you are not gluten sensitive. It’s a great variation on the theme. There are two things to keep in mind when you’re making this recipe. First, choose good quality, flavorful cornmeal. Spend a little more. I purchase mine at our local farmer’s market from Papa Tom (Papa Tom, phone: 225-275-1276) and they are fantastic.
Second make sure you mix the cornstarch in cold water until it’s dissolved before adding it to the pot, so that it doesn’t clump. Cornstarch is a great thickening agent, but be aware that if you heat the sauce for too long or at too high a temperature, it will lose its ability to thicken.
