This time, we give you a Herbed Keto Chicken Pot Pie. **Here is a complete recipe for Herbed Keto Chicken Pot Pie with instructions:**
Ingredients:
For the Crust:
* 2 cups almond flour, restructuring it into fine powder and then measuring
* 1/2 cup coconut flour
* 1/4 cup butter (this needs to be cold, cubed)
* 1 large egg
* 1/2 teaspoon of salt
* 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
For the Filling:
* 2 cups cooked chicken breast that has either been shredded or diced
* 1/2 cup heavy cream
* 1/2 cup chicken broth
* 1 small onion, finely sliced
* 2 garlic cloves, finely minced
* ½ cup chopped celery
* ½ cup carrots, diced (this is optional as it would increase carbohydrates intake)
* 2 tablespoons of olive oil
* 1 teaspoon dried thyme
* 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
* Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Preheat Oven: Make sure to preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Make the Crust: In a bowl, combine the two types of flour, salt, and baking powder.
The cold butter is then added and using a pastry cutter or your fingers, mix in the butter until it is evenly mixed and the mixture can be described then as dry bread crumbs.
Add an egg and mix until dough is formed. In case it is not all coming together, add one tablespoon of water but cold water.
Flatten the dough into a disk shape, wrap it in plastic, and place it in the fridge while you prepare the filling.
Making the Filling:
In a large skillet over medium heat, pour two tablespoons of olive oil into the pan. Toss in the chopped onion, garlic, and celery with even the carrots if you are going to use them and sauté until soft- about five minutes.
Now add the chicken along with the heavy cream and the chicken broth in the skillet. This is the time to stir in the thyme, rosemary, along with salt and pepper. Allow the filling to simmer until there is a little thickness, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the fire.
Filling in the Pot Pie:
Now, pour the filling into a baking dish. Take the chilled dough with two pieces of parchment paper and roll it out in such a way that it covers the baking dish.
Now place the dough over this filling very carefully. Press the edges with a fork and poke the edges to make small cuts in the crust so that the steam from the inside can pass through.
Bake: Bake for around 25-30 minutes in the preheated oven. You can even take out once the crust turns to a deep shade of brown and the filling is spongy. Before serving, let it remain outdoors for a couple of minutes to cool down a bit.
The Real Deal – Why this will be Your Next Favorite Keto Cuisine
