Ingredients
For the Chicken Pot Pie Filling:
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- 1/2 cup mixed veggies could also substitute green beans or broccoli
- 1/4 small onion diced
- 1/4 tsp pink salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tsp poultry seasoning
- 1/4 tsp rosemary
- pinch thyme
- 2 1/2 cups cooked chicken diced
- 1/4 tsp Xanthan Gum
For the crust:
- 4 1/2 tablespoons of butter melted and cooled
- 1/3 cup coconut flour
- 2 tablespoons full fat sour cream
- 4 eggs
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup mild cheddar cheese, grated
- 1/3 cup Mozzarella Cheese, grated
- 1 1/2 tsp parsley (to sprinkle on top)
Instructions
-
Cook 1 to 1 1/2 lbs chicken in the slow cooker for 3 hours on high or 6 hours on low.
-
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
-
Sautee onion, mixed veggies, garlic cloves, salt, and pepper in 2 tablespoons of butter in a cast-iron skillet or oven-safe skillet for approx 5 min or until onions are translucent.
-
Add heavy whipping cream, chicken broth, poultry seasoning, thyme, and rosemary.
-
Sprinkle Xantham Gum on top and simmer for 5 minutes so that the sauce thickens. Make sure to simmer covered as the liquid will evaporate otherwise. You need a lot of liquid for this recipe; otherwise, it will be dry.
-
Add diced chicken.
-
Make the breading by combining melted butter (I cool mine by popping the bowl in the fridge for 5 min), eggs, salt, and sour cream in a bowl, then whisk together.
-
Add
coconut flourand baking powder to the mixture and stir until combined.
-
Stir in cheese.
-
Drop batter by dollops on top of the chicken pot pie. Do not spread it out, as the
coconut flourwill absorb too much of the liquid.
-
Bake in a 400-degree oven for 15-20 min.
-
Set oven to broil and move chicken pot pie to the top-shelf. Broil for 1-2 minutes until bread topping is nicely browned. Sprinkle dried parsley on top.
Notes
Variations to the recipe:
- Use turkey breast or thigh instead of chicken
- For added fat use chicken thighs instead of the chicken breast
- Grab a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store when you are in a hurry.
- Sub bone broth for chicken broth
- Try adding in other low carb veggies such as cauliflower, mushrooms, bell peppers, zucchini, etc
- Feel free to try different types of cheese in the homemade easy keto biscuits recipe for the crust
- If you follow a more modified low carb lifestyle Carbquick is a low carb alternative to the biscuit topping. It is much like Bisquick but with fewer carbs.
