1. For the chicken pot pie crust: Place flour and salt in a bowl and whisk together. Dice butter and place into flour mixture. (It is important for the butter to be COLD so sometimes I dice it up then place in a bowl and stick in the freezer for a few minutes.) Use a pastry knife and cut butter into flour until it is edamame or pea sized. Using a large fork, add the egg yolk and 2 tablespoons of milk to the mixture and combine. Continue adding almond milk, a tablespoon at a time until dough comes together and is somewhat soft. You may not need to add all the milk; you want the dough to be smooth but neither overly wet nor dry. I find 3 tablespoons to be good most of the time.
2. If you want to make the dough in the food processor (easiest method), here is how: Add the flour and salt with the regular blade attached, then add the diced cold butter. Pulse just a few times to lightly mix the ingredients until there are pea-sized balls. Add the egg yolk and 2-3 tablespoons milk and process again until the dough is crumbly. Do not let it turn into a big dough ball or you will have overmixed the dough. Pour into a floured surface and gather into a disk, wrap in plastic and place in fridge until you are ready to roll out. Dough can also be made ahead of time and placed in fridge or 1 week or frozen for up to 3 months.
3. In a large pot, add 1/2 tablespoon olive oil and chicken. Season chicken with salt and pepper and cook until chicken is no longer pink, about 5 minutes, then transfer to a bowl or large plate and set aside.
4. Next add almond milk and chicken broth to pot and bring to a boil. Add in diced potatoes and carrots and boil for 3-4 minutes. (This helps to release the potato starch!). Drain the mixture over a bowl, reserving the cooking liquid (very important). Set aside the carrots and potatoes for later.
