While Matt has never been a fan of chicken pot pie, having a Keto Pot Pie in our cooking arsenal felt like a necessary! It’s delicious all year long and good enough for all friends and family, keto or not. We use a mix of onion, celery, carrots and mushrooms topped with a delicious low carb biscuit to bring this recipe to life.
Low Carb Biscuit v. Pie Crust?
It’s a tough choice to be made, but after having tried this keto pot pie, I think i’m officially a fan of the biscuit. Not only can I eating more than one biscuit, but it’s guaranteed to come out right every time.
With a crust you have the concern of under baking, not having it crispy enough, or getting soggy when you store it for left overs. You can’t store the crust separately like you can the biscuit! I also prefer a high filling ratio to crust/biscuit because that’s where the good stuff is, so naturally I don’t want a potential sub par crust covering up the delicious filling!
Cold Weather Calls For Low Carb Soups!
Although Matt is not a fan of soups whatsoever, they are one of my favorite forms of food. They are filling, comforting and combination of several flavors. If you are also a fan of soups, stews and chilis then we’ve got the recipes for you! My favorite in order:
Give any of the above a try and let us know what you think!
Delicious Keto Pot Pie
Prior to trying this recipe, Matt had never tried any sort of pot pie. I can honestly say he has converted to a keto pot pie loved. Naturally his favorite part is the biscuit, but that’s the best part about this recipe. You can turn a classic into a low carb favorite and once everyone gives this Keto Pot Pie a try they’ll have a favorite part too!
