Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
- 1 cup carrots, diced
- 1 cup peas
- 1 cup celery, diced
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream or coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 large egg, beaten
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and cook until golden brown and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add onion, garlic, carrots, celery, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the peas, cooked chicken, thyme, chicken broth, and heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes.
- Make the Crust: In a bowl, combine almond flour, melted coconut oil, and beaten egg. Mix until it forms a dough.
- Assemble the Pie: Pour the chicken and vegetable mixture into a pie dish. Press the almond flour dough on top, spreading it evenly to cover the filling.
- Bake: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
- Serve: Allow to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!
