This is one of my family’s favorite comfort meals – it has a creamy, savory filling and flaky crust. And it’s not as hard to make as you might imagine. To make dinnertime a bit easier, I like to make my pie crust whenever I have a little extra time and let it sit in the fridge until I’m ready to use it. Plus, this is a great way to use up any leftover chicken or turkey you have sitting in your fridge. But even if you don’t, I have a link to my perfectly cooked chicken recipe made either in the oven or the Insant Pot so you’ll have some cooked chicken in no time 😁

For the recipe below, I used my Keto Pie Crust, but feel free to sub my Paleo Pie Crust if you’re not Keto. It has an egg free option, no psyllium husks, and is just a tad easier to roll out. So choose whichever fits your needs best. Shall we get started? Here are the easy steps:

The crust:

Start by adding the almond flour, flaxseeds, coconut flour, psyllium husk powder, sweetener, and sea salt into the bowl of a food processor. Then, add some cold butter (can use non-dairy) and process it until it resembles coarse sand like the picture above.

Add the egg and 1 Tbsp. of water and process until well combined. If your mixture is crumbly, add 1 Tbsp. of ice cold water but if your mixture is too wet add 1 Tbsp. of almond flour. The goal is for the crust to feel like play-dough and you want it to form a nice ball in the food processor like the above picture- that’s how you know it’s perfect!

Place the dough in a plastic baggie and let rest in the fridge to firm out while we make the filling.

the filling:

Start by chopping up some carrots, celery, and an onion.

I love using a cast-iron skillet for this recipe, so if you have a cast-iron skillet melt some butter (can use non-dairy) in it, then add the veggies we just chopped along with some garlic and frozen peas. If you don’t have a cast-iron skillet, you can use any large skillet you prefer 😊 Sautee the veggies around 5 minutes, or until they start to soften.

When the veggies are soft, add a cup of chicken broth, a cup of full-fat canned coconut milk, shredded chicken or turkey, salt, pepper, and thyme. Bring it to a boil and allow to lighlty boil for around 10 minutes, or until thickened. If you’re not using a cast-iron skillet you need to transfer the filling into a deep pie pan. Set the filling aside for now.

The rest:

All that’s left is adding the crust! Take the crust out of the fridge and place it on a piece of parchment paper. Cover it with plastic wrap and roll it out from the center using a rolling pin.

Peel off the plastic wrap then invert the crust over the filling. The crust will have a few breaks in it so use your fingers to patch up the cracks and cinch the crust to the edge of the pan. It will have a nice rustic look to it.

Brush the top with a beaten egg (optional) and bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until the crust is nicely browned. There ‘ya have it! A perfect chicken pot pie with a creamy, savory filling and a flakey crust!!!

Ingredients

US Customary - Metric

Keto Pie Crust:

• Click here for Paleo Pie Crust recipe if that's what you prefer (doesn't have psyllium, has an egg free option, and is a bit easier to roll out)
• 1 1/2 Cups Blanched Almond Flour
• 1/4 Cup Ground Flaxseeds I prefer golden for a lighter colored crust
• 2 Tbsp. Coconut Flour
• 1/4 tsp. Sea Salt
• 1 Tbsp. Psyllium Husk Powder
• 1 Tbsp Lakanto Monkfruit Sweetener or preferred granulated sweetener
• 4 Tbsp. Butter cold, can use non-dairy
• 1 Large Egg
• 1 Tbsp Cold Water or as needed

Filling:

• 4 Tbsp. Allowed Butter can use non-dairy
• 1 Medium Yellow Onion
• 3 Stalks Celery
• 2 Large (or 3 medium) Carrots
• 2 cloves Garlic minced
• 1/4 Cup Frozen Peas can increase to 1/2 cup if desired
• 2 Cups Cooked Chicken or Turkey
• 1 Cup Chicken Broth
• 1 Cup Full Fat Canned Coconut Milk well shaken or stirred, works best if not refrigerated
• 1 tsp. Sea Salt
• Black Pepper to taste
• 1 tsp. Ground Thyme
• 1 Egg optional

Instructions

Crust:

• Add the almond flour, ground flax seeds, coconut flour, sea salt, psyllium powder, and monkfruit or preferred sweetner to the bowl of a food procesor and process until combined. Add the butter to the flour and pulse until well combined and looks like sand.
  
• Add the egg and 1 Tbsp. water. Pulse until combined and forms a ball. Your dough should have the consistency of Play-Dough. If it's crumbly you need to add 1 Tbsp. of ice cold water or if it's too soft or like batter, add 1 Tbsp. almond flour until you reach the desired consistency. It's perfect when it forms a ball in the food processor.
  
• Place the dough in a baggie and put in the refrigerator while you make the filling.

Chicken Pot Pie:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Start by finely cutting up the celery, carrots, and onion.
• In a cast-iron skillet or large pan, melt the butter (can use non-dairy) over medium heat. Add the celery, carrot, onion, and peas. Saute about 5 minutes, or until veggies start to soften.
• Add the chicken, coconut milk, chicken broth, salt, pepper, and thyme. Taste and adjust seasonings. Bring to boil.
• Allow to gently boil for 10 - 15 minutes or until thickened, stirring occasionally. If not using a cast-iron skillet transfer to a deep pie pan. Set aside. 
• Place the pie crust on a large piece of parchment paper and cover with plastic wrap. Roll out from the center using a rolling pin. Invert over the pot pie and gently press into the sides of the dish to seal, patching up any cracks with your fingers.
• Brush the top with a beaten egg (optional). Bake for 20 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
• Use a large spoon to serve.
