I love chicken pot pie. My best friend recently suggested that I come up with a paleo version. I accepted the challenge and got busy baking!

Ingredients

CRUST:

  • 3 cups Almond Meal
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Kosher Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • ½ cup Coconut Oil room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon Cool Water

PIE:

  • 2 Chicken Breast Halves Roasted and Cubed about 1 lb raw
  • 2 cups Yellow Onions Chopped
  • 2 cups Frozen Green Peas
  • 2 cups Frozen Carrots
  • ¼ cup Coconut Milk full fat
  • ¾ cup Almond Meal
  • 4 cups Low Sodium Chicken Stock
  • 3 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil EVOO
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1 Egg for egg wash

Instructions

ROASTED CHICKEN:

  • Preheat oven to 350 F.
  • Wash chicken breast and pat dry.
  • Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Drizzle and rub 1 Tbl EVOO on the chicken breast.
  • Sprinkle with generous amount of kosher salt and cracked black pepper.
  • Bake at 350 F for 35 minutes.
  • Remove from oven when finished and let cool.
  • Cut into about ½” cubes when cool enough to handle.

CRUST:

  • In a food processor, mix the dry ingredients together (almond meal, salt, and baking powder).
  • Add the coconut oil and slowly pulse until it’s evenly mixed. It should have the consistence of peas.
  • Slowly add the water and pulse until it forms a dough-like texture.
  • Remove from food processor, roll into a ball and wrap in cling wrap.
  • Put the dough into the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • [Now is a good time to start on the pie fillings]
  • Dust a pastry board (or cutting board) with almond meal.
  • Place the ball of dough on the dry almond meal and cut into 8 even sections. (Roll into one large piece if you’re making one large pie.)
  • Using your hands first and then a rolling pen for even thickness, press and roll each of the 8 pieces into a circle.
  • Keep dusting the top and bottom of dough with dry almond meal so that it doesn’t stick.
  • Use the ramekin or dish you are baking in to cut the right-size circle in the dough.

PIE:

  • Heat the EVOO in the bottom of a large pot.
  • Add the yellow onions and cook on medium/high until they’re brown.
  • Slowly add the almond meal and reduce the heat.
  • Slowly add the chicken stock and stir.
  • Add the coconut milk, 1 tsp salt, and black pepper.
  • Add the peas, carrots, and chicken.
  • Spoon an even amount into each of the 8 ramekins (or other oven-friendly bowls).
  • Place the crust on top of the filling.
  • Scramble one egg and paint the crust of each pie generously.
  • Sprinkle with kosher salt and cut 3-4 slits in the top.
  • Bake at 375 for one hour.
  • Let cool, then ENJOY!
