Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your delicious Keto Chicken Pot Pie:
1. Prepare the Fathead Dough: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a microwave-safe bowl, combine mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave for about 30 seconds or until melted. Stir until smooth.
2. Mix Dough Ingredients: Add the egg, almond flour, garlic powder, and salt to the melted cheese. Mix until a dough forms. You may need to knead it by hand briefly.
3. Roll Out the Dough: Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out to about ¼-inch thickness. Remove the top parchment paper.
4. Prepare the Filling: In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté the onions until translucent. Add the cauliflower (or other vegetables) and cook until slightly tender.
5. Combine the Filling: Stir in the shredded chicken, chicken broth, heavy cream, thyme, black pepper, and salt. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat.
6. Assemble the Pie: In a greased pie dish, place half of the rolled-out dough. Pour the chicken filling into the crust, then cover it with the remaining dough. Seal the edges and cut a few slits on top for ventilation.
7. Bake: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
8. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving. This will help the filling set a bit more.
