Nutrition Facts

Chicken pot pie is the ultimate keto comfort food, perfect for those cold days ahead and find it hard to decide between this keto recipe and my chicken soup recipe.

This keto pot pie is full of protein, fat and goodness! Traditional pot pies are made with dough and potatoes in them, as well as thickened with flour, which all make the pie very high in carbs. Unlike a regular pie, for this recipe, the filling will go on a pie plate and is then covered with a top layer of low carb almond flour based dough to make it look like a pie.

Additionally, our pie crust is made with almond flour which makes it gluten free! Despite the differences, this low carb chicken pot pie still has all the flavors that your traditional creamy chicken pie would have! This recipe shows you that you do not need to cut out any foods from your diet, even comfort foods!

Chicken pot pie can be served on its own or with any low carb side of your choice. Some low carb side dishes which can be used to compliment this dish are green beans, a crispy green salad, roasted mixed vegetables, or even garlic mushrooms!

A fun twist to this chicken pot pie is to turn it into an appetizer and make keto chicken pot pie turnovers!
