Low Carb Chicken Pot Pies

20 ratings

Chicken pot pies are soo delicious, but on a low carb diet it is totally off-limits because of the carbs in the crust. These mini pot pies feature a low carb crust that is super buttery and flakey. Just because you are working hard to eat right, doesn’t mean you can’t have it all!

Recipe Steps

steps 7

1 h

  • Step 1

    In a food processor, blend together the flours, 1/2 t xanthan gum, salt, diced cold butter and cream cheese until combined but still lumpy. Add in the egg and vinegar and blend until smooth. Place onto a piece of plastic wrap and smooth into a disk. Chill in the fridge until hard about 4 hours.
    Step 1
  • Step 2

    Preheat an oven to 350 F. Dice the chicken breast into cubes and place in a sauce pot with water to cover the meat. Bring to a boil and then turn the heat down to a simmer. Allow the chicken to cook for 15 minutes or so until cooked through. Drain the water off and set aside. In the meantime, dice the onion, celery and carrots into a small dice. Bring a large saute pan to temp over medium-high heat, add in 1 T butter until melted then add the all the veggies including the white onion. Saute for 2-3 minutes until slightly cooked.
    Step 2
  • Step 3

    Add in the drained chicken. Then add the butter, cream, chicken stock and chopped parsley. Bring to a boil then add in 1/4 t xanthan gum a little at a time, stirring well. Cook until thickened.
    Step 3
  • Step 4

    Pour pot pie mixture into 6 ramekins. I used 8 oz ramekins.
    Step 4
  • Step 5

    In the meantime, roll out the pie crust keeping the plastic wrap underneath the dough. This way after you roll out the dough you can peel off the back of the plastic wrap to release each piece of crust. Roll the dough into ⅛”-¼” thickness. Then use a 3 ½” circle cutter to cut out each piece and place it on top of each ramekin. You will need to gather the dough into a ball and re-roll for the other two ramekins. Cut a few slits in the top of the pie crust for venting steam.
    Step 5
  • Step 6

    Bake the ramekins for 30 minutes or until bubbling and the crust is golden, brown and delicious.
    Step 6
  • Step 7

    Let cool for 5 minutes and serve hot!

    Good recipe. Unfortunately I didn't have any of the Xanthan Gum at the time so I made it without. It was still delicious. I picked out some of the chicken and have it to my husband as it was a bit too much for me but that's normal for me.

      This was so good. Will make again. One question what is the best way to reheat the leftovers?

        Do these reheat (microwave) well or does the top turn mushy? I would like to pack as a lunch.

            Very good! I also doubled the xanthum gum and added some basil and thyme. Crust came out golden brown and I also made it as one big casserole yielding 6 servings. Thanks, I will definitely make again.

                Can you make it without the crust? If so how would that change the info?

                  99g butter is equal to just short of 7 tablespoons

                    My entire family loved this. I followed the recipe exactly as written except my green beans went bad before I can use them. Thank you for a great recipe.

                      Loved this! I made a whole pie instead as I didn't have ramekins and it turned out perfectly. Think I will add some smoked bacon to it next time just to give it a bit more flavour (and because I just love bacon 🤣)

                        Could this dough also be used to make steamed meat filled dumplings

                          Confused on the recipe time. .. it says the dough has to chill for 4 hours 😱. So this recipe takes way longer to make than stated.

                                  There are 99g of butter for the pie crust and 1 T to sauté the vegetables , and the remaining 2 T for the sauce. Hope that helps!

                                  Hi I am new to Carb Manger. I am interested in intermittent fasting, but what you have here is actually time restricted eating. Intermittent fasting is eating little to no calories for a specified number of days, there are many variations from water fasting to bone broth to 2 small salads a day, 0 to 600 calories a day every other day to 2 days a week, 5 days once a month. Time restricted eating is when you limit the amount of time you are eating during the day, ideal is 6 hours for men and 8 hours for women. This is common confusion. I realize you can't take my word for it, but would be appreciated if you researched it a bit more.

                                    Intermittent fasting, also known as intermittent energy restriction, is an umbrella term for various meal timing schedules that cycle between voluntary fasting and non-fasting over a given period. Three methods of intermittent fasting are alternate-day fasting, periodic fasting, and daily time-restricted feeding. Wikipedia

                                    This is a recipe comment section. That and intermittent fasting isnt even discussed here.

                                    How the hell does this have "30 minutes" as the prep time but then state to chill the crusts for 4 hours prior to use????

                                      Way too many carbs. We should not eat more than seven carbs at a meal.

                                        Can you clarify how much xanthan gum is going in the dough portion and the chicken portion?

                                          Hello! It is a 1/2 t for the dough portion and 1/4 for the sauce portion. Sorry that was confusing.
