Instructions:
1. Prepare the Crust:
- In a large bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, and salt.
- Add cubed cold butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or fork to cut the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add the egg and mix until a dough forms. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
2. Prepare the Filling:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add diced onions, carrots, celery, and minced garlic. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Sprinkle coconut flour over the vegetables and stir to combine, cooking for an additional minute.
- Slowly pour in chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens.
- Add shredded chicken, steamed cauliflower, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine. Remove from heat and set aside.
3. Assemble the Pot Pie:
- Divide the dough into four equal portions. Roll out each portion between two sheets of parchment paper to about 1/4 inch thickness.
- Divide the filling evenly among four ramekins or small oven-safe dishes.
- Place the rolled-out dough over each ramekin, trimming any excess dough around the edges. Use a fork to crimp the edges of the dough to the ramekin.
- Cut a few slits on the top of each pot pie to allow steam to escape during baking.
4. Bake and Serve:
- Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
- Remove the pot pies from the oven and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top of each pie.
- Return the pot pies to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let the pot pies cool for a few minutes before serving.
