Ingredients
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.
