• Chicken: For this low carb chicken pot pie recipe, I use cubed chicken breast or chicken thighs. You can make things even faster by using shredded rotisserie chicken. (more low carb chicken recipes)
• Vegetables: I went the traditional route and used onions, celery, carrots, and peas. If you are concerned with the carb content in peas and carrots, you can substitute any vegetables you prefer. (Check out these vegetarian keto recipes)
• Heavy Cream: The sauce in this keto pot pie recipe is thickened with the use of heavy cream and cheese. You can also use half and half, but the pot pie filling will not be as thick.
• Keto Dough: the dough for this low carb chicken pot pie recipe is a pretty standard fathead dough. It utilizes almond flour, mozzarella cheese, cream cheese, eggs, and seasonings. (Check out this round up of sweet and savory recipes made with fathead dough)

STEP 1: Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

STEP 2: Once the butter has melted, add the onion, celery, carrots, garlic, thyme, and a little salt and pepper to the pan. Next, sauté the vegetables until they are crisp-tender.

STEP 3: Add the chicken to the pan and sauté until is is cooked through.

STEP 4: Add the heavy cream, chicken stock, and Dijon mustard to the pan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

STEP 5: Reduce the heat to low and let simmer for 5 to 7 minutes.

STEP 6: Mix in the cheese until it is melted into the sauce and simmeruntil the sauce has reduced and thickened.

STEP 7: Stir in the peas.

STEP 8: Divide the pot pie filling evenly between 4 mini pie pans. (This is the set that I have)

STEP 9: Preheat oven to 375°F. In a large mixing bowl, combine mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave for 1 minute. Stir to combine and microwave 1 additional minute.

STEP 10: Mix in almond flour, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, sea salt and black pepper. Mix the dough all ingredients are well combined. If the dough becomes stringy or the cheese is not quite melted enough, you can put it back in the microwave for another 30 seconds.

STEP 11: Divide the dough into four equal pieces. Spread the dough pieces out into large flat, even circles on parchment paper or a silpat. If it starts to get sticky, wet your hands a little bit to prevent it from sticking to you.

STEP 12: Top each mini pie pan with one with a piece of dough, folding it down around the edges. Cut slits in the center of the dough in the shape of an X, so that it can vent as it bakes. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown on top.

• Storage: Store the leftover low carb chicken pot pie in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. (These are my favorite storage and meal prep containers)
• Reheating: I recommend reheating in the oven or in an air fryer to help get the crust nice and crispy again. (this is the air fryer that I have)
• Change up the veggies: To make this low carb pot pie even lower in carbs, try swapping out the veggies. Instead of peas and carrots, try broccoli and bell peppers, or maybe even mushrooms and cauliflower. Better yet, go nuts and use a combination of any of your favorite low carb vegetables.
• Use rotisserie chicken: To make this recipe even quicker, use a store-bought rotisserie chicken. Better yet, make your own Herbed Butter Roasted Chicken
• Change up the protein: You can also make low carb pot pie using turkey, beef, or even pork. (Try this Keto Beef Stew Pot Pie)
• Make a nut free version: For a nut free low carb pot pie crust, you can substitute the fathead dough with my Nut Free Keto Pizza Crust Recipe and partially bake it before applying it to the tops of the pot pies.
