Equipment
- Large skillet
- 9x9-inch casserole dish
Ingredients
Pot Pie Filling
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 1 cup shredded or diced carrots
- 1 cup diced celery
- 0.5 cup diced onion
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1.5 pounds chicken breast or boneless, skinless thighs cut into 1-inch pieces
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 0.75 cup heavy cream
- 0.75 cup chicken broth
- 0.5 teaspoon xanthan gum for thickening
Cheddar Biscuit Topping
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoon baking powder
- 4 large eggs
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Get your oven ready by preheating it to 400°F (200°C). In a large skillet over medium heat, warm up the avocado oil. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery, cooking them until they're nice and soft, which usually takes about 6-8 minutes.
- Toss in the chicken pieces and season them with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Continue cooking until the chicken is almost fully cooked through.
- Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, then sprinkle in the xanthan gum. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it gently simmer. This is your delicious, creamy pot pie filling!
- While your filling is simmering, grab a large bowl and combine all the ingredients listed for the biscuit dough: almond flour, garlic powder, kosher salt, baking powder, eggs, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until just combined. This will be your healthy cheddar topping!
- Give your pot pie filling a taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Transfer this creamy mixture into a 9x9-inch casserole dish. Now, take your biscuit dough and, using a scoop or spoon, dollop generous portions evenly over the top of the filling.
- Pop the casserole into your preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. You'll know it's ready when the filling is bubbly and the biscuit topping is beautifully golden brown. Carefully remove it from the oven, let it cool slightly, and then serve up this comforting, healthy meal!
