Keto Pot Pie Recipe

Ingredients:

For the Filling:

• 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or diced, rotisserie chicken works well)
• 1 cup chopped celery (about 2-3 stalks)
• 1 cup chopped carrots (about 2 medium carrots)
• 1/2 cup frozen peas
• 1 small onion (diced)
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 cup chicken broth (low sodium)
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup cream cheese (softened)
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
• Salt and pepper (to taste)

For the Keto Crust:

• 1 1/2 cups almond flour
• 1/4 cup coconut flour
• 1/4 cup butter (softened)
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Filling:
   • In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion, celery, carrots, and garlic. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
   • Add the cooked chicken to the skillet. Stir to combine.
   • In a bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, heavy cream, and cream cheese. Pour this mixture over the chicken and vegetables in the skillet.
   • Stir in the dried thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Simmer for about 5 minutes, until the sauce has thickened slightly. Add the frozen peas and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
3. Prepare the Crust:
   • In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt.
   • Add the softened butter and egg to the flour mixture. Mix until the dough comes together. It should be slightly crumbly but hold together when pressed.
4. Assemble the Pot Pie:
   • Pour the chicken and vegetable mixture into a 9-inch pie dish or a similar baking dish.
   • Press the crust mixture evenly over the top of the filling. You can use your hands or a rolling pin to flatten it, then place it on top of the filling.
5. Bake:
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
6. Cool and Serve:
   • Let the pot pie cool for a few minutes before serving. This helps the filling set a bit more.
