Introduction
Everyone loves chicken pie and this Keto Chicken Pot Pie is as close to the real deal as you will find. The entire pie has 22g of carbs and I like to cut mine into 5 wedges, or you could make 5 individual pies each coming in at 4.4g of carbs🔥 Also, NO FANCY OR WEIRD ingredients were used in my pie 😝.
The pastry or pie crust I use is the one from my Lemon Curd Tart, and I just left out the vanilla because chicken and vanilla is not 🔥. Simply cook the chicken and veg until it’s a nice pie filling consistency and top it with the dough!
You could amp things up and add in mushrooms or some bacon, perhaps even a dash of tarragon 😱
Give it a go!

Method
- Firstly melt the butter in a large pan and add the diced chicken thighs.
- Cook the chicken, stirring occasionally, until chicken begins to brown on all sides (about 5 minutes).
- Then, add the onion, celery and carrots. Turn heat to medium low. Cook, stirring occasionally until the onions begin to colour. Stir in garlic, dried thyme and xanthan gum.
- Next, stir in the chicken broth.
- Turn the heat to medium and simmer for around 15-20 minutes.
- Once the liquid has thickened, add the heavy cream and frozen peas. Simmer until thickened.
- Then season with salt and white pepper.
- Place the mixture in a deep bottomed pie dish.
- Top with the pastry and bake for 20-25 minutes at 350F or 175C.
*For a classic burnished hue, egg wash the pie before baking.
