Easy Keto Chicken Pot Pie Low Carb Recipe

Share to save for later!

Do you like complex recipes? On the one hand, they take time and effort. On the other, they sound promising and make any mouth water. Our keto chicken pot pie is both delicious and rewarding. You’ll feel accomplished and full when you’re finished! 

Unlike the traditional chicken pot pie, this keto pot pie recipe includes 100% keto-friendly ingredients. I like to use mozzarella, cream cheese, Parmesan, almond flour, chicken breast, button mushrooms, celery, onions, chicken broth, and heavy cream.

Most pot pies contain wheat flour shell, which contains gluten and is not allowed on a keto diet. Gluten is a problematic food for many people as it contributes to inflammation and causes digestive upset.

Our recipe calls for a shell made with almond flour and cheese. It’s tasty and gluten-free! 

The filling for this chicken pot pie is full of nutritious low-carb spices and veggies, such as celery, garlic, and paprika.

Celery is made up of mostly water. Adding it to your diet can help you stay hydrated, reducing bloating and naturally flush toxins. Most people eat it raw, but it’s delicious when cooked, like in this recipe. 

Garlic has numerous health benefits. It contains anti-tumor, anti-thrombosis, and antidiabetic properties (1). Garlic also contains antimicrobial ability that can help fight several illnesses. One study found that garlic effectively inhibited 30 strains of mycobacteria consisting of 17 species (2).

You can add more low-carb vegetables to your filling if you’d like. This recipe would taste great if you added broccoli to it. You would also be adding to the recipe’s anti-cancer benefits!

Tomatoes would also work well. They would add a touch of color to your filling and provide antioxidant benefits in the form of lycopene. 

You can serve this dish hot with a cold salad first for the perfectly balanced low-carb dinner that everyone will enjoy.
