This is the ultimate healthy twist on the classic favorite chicken pot pie! I use almond flour for my crust to keep the carbs lower and make my filling from scratch! Honestly, I think my chicken pot pie tastes even better than the classic. Homemade anything is always better! If you are not low carb, you can definitely use regular flour as well instead of almond! One chicken pot pie makes 8 servings. Each serving is under 400 calories and full of protein too! Feel free to mess with the seasonings to your liking. I tried to make this as close to the classic as possible. Now, I do realize this may not be the prettiest looking chicken pot pie, but it sure does taste good and is so healthy!

How To Make It
- Make your crust. This recipe only has a crust on top! Using a stand mixer or hand held mixture, beat the almond flour, butter, salt, pepper and water (only if needed) until a dough forms.
- Roll your dough into a round ball and press flat. Place the dough between 2 sheets of wax paper and roll with a rolling pin until it is large enough to cover your pie dish.
- Place your dough in the fridge while you make the filling and preheat your oven to 375°F.
- In a large, deep sauce pan, heat up the olive oil. Sauté the onion, garlic, carrots and celery until tender, about 5 minutes.
- Add in the spices and chicken broth. Bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, add in the almond milk, stirring constantly as it thickens. You can always add a slurry too (1 tbsp water + 1 tbsp cornstarch) if it does not thicken enough for you.
- Stir in cooked chicken, frozen peas and corn.
- Pour your filling into a greased 9 inch glass pie dish.
- Peel off the top piece of wax paper from your dough. Flip it over onto your chicken pot pie and then peel off the other piece of paper. Place a few slits in your crust so your pie can breathe and not overflow.
- Bake the chicken pot pie for 35 minutes. Allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes and enjoy!
How To Store Leftovers
You can store your leftovers in an air tight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. When you are ready to enjoy your leftovers, just pop them in the microwave for a minute or so. You can also reheat this meal in the oven at 250 for 20 minutes or so if you want your crust to stay crispy!
My favorite storage containers are by the brand Razab. I do giveaways with them and truly love their products so much. All of their containers are BPA free, oven safe, freezer safe, dishwasher save, and have steam release valves! You can find them on Amazon here.
