Instructions

For the Keto Pot Pie Crust

  • Add coconut flour, almond flour, xanthan gum, and salt to food processor. Pulse just until evenly combined.
  • Add cubed cold butter and cold cream cheese to food processor. Pulse again until crumbly, just a few seconds.
  • Add egg and apple cider vinegar to food processor. Pulse again until dough starts to come together. It should resemble moist crumbs, not smooth dough.

  • Spread plastic wrap out on flat surface. Remove bowl from food processor. Pull dough together and transfer to plastic wrap. Form dough into a ball, then press to flatten into disc large enough to cover pie plate. Cover flattened dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate 1 hour.

For the Keto Chicken Pot Pie

  • Pour filling into pie plate. Cover filling with chilled pie crust. Place pot pie in preheated oven and bake 25-30 minutes or until cooked through with golden brown crust. Note: watch pot pie carefully after first 10 minutes of baking. If crust browns too quickly, cover with aluminum foil.

Notes

  • Xanthan Gum: If you don't have xanthan gum, you can omit it from the crust, although I highly recommend using it. For the filling, you can omit the xanthan gum again, but reduce the heavy cream to only ¼ cup total if you're not using xanthan gum. I highly recommend using the xanthan gum for a richer, creamier filling, though. 
  • Chicken: Feel free to use chopped or shredded rotisserie chicken, or cook and shred your own chicken.
