Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons ghee
- 1 medium, diced onion
- 2 medium, diced carrots
- 2 diced celery stalks
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 0.5 cup coconut milk
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup arrowroot powder
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon, chopped fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon, chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the ghee. Add the onion, carrots, and celery, sautéing until soft, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
Stir in the cooked chicken and frozen peas, mixing well.
In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, coconut milk, and arrowroot powder until smooth. Pour the mixture into the skillet, stirring consistently until it thickens, about 5 minutes.
Season with salt, pepper, lemon juice, thyme, and rosemary. Remove from heat and transfer the filling to a 9-inch (23 cm) pie dish.
In a medium bowl, mix together the almond flour, eggs, and a pinch of salt until a dough forms.
Roll the dough between two sheets of parchment paper into a circle slightly larger than the pie dish.
Carefully remove the top layer of parchment and flip the dough over onto the chicken filling, removing the remaining parchment once in place.
Press the edges of the dough into the side of the pie dish to seal.
Cut a few slits in the top of the dough to allow steam to escape.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, until the crust is golden brown.
Allow the chicken pie to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
