Comfort food! This Crustless Chicken Pot Pie is one of my favorite low-carb dishes. It's warm and comforting, and naturally low-carb if you skip the crust and replace it with keto-friendly biscuits.

M.Y. LOW-CARB MEDITERRANEAN MEAL PLAN
This recipe conforms to the M.Y. Low-carb Mediterranean Meal Plan, a plan that I custom created for people without a gallbladder who want to follow a low-carb diet. This meal plan is not as strict as keto, but is still fairly low-carb and incorporates healthy fats into each balanced meal. For more information, click here.
This recipe of Crustless Chicken Pot Pie makes 4 servings, and the leftovers are just as good the next day. Leftovers can be kept in a sealed container in the refrigerator for several days.

Here is the break down of the ingredients. Since I'm making 4 portions, I chose four from each category:
- Protein: Chicken + Chicken + Parmesan + Parmesan
- I know that Parmesan is usually in the fat category, not protein, but it's high in protein so it could really count towards either category, and since we are also using bone broth, which is high in protein, you will have enough protein overall.
- 1.5 cups of shredded chicken will yield approximately 7oz of chicken, which is two portions
- Veggie: Onion + Onion + Onion + Onion
- Carb: two more portions of veggies, below
- Veggie: Celery + Carrot + Carrot + Carrot
- Veggie: Celery + Green Peas + Green Peas + Green Peas
- Fat: Butter + Butter + Heavy Cream + Heavy Cream
- Bonus: Bone Broth + Bone Broth + Xanthan Gum
SUGGESTED APPETIZER
I recommend eating an appetizer before each main meal. The appetizer should be small and incorporate bitters. Make sure you eat your appetizer slowly and fully taste the bitters. I provide a suggestion below, but you can choose something else if you prefer.
For this dish, I recommend munching on a stick of raw celery. Unless you bought exactly four stalks of celery, you should have some extra celery lying around.
MAKE IT KETO
This dish is low-carb and might work on the keto diet, but for some people who are strict about their carb counts, it may have too many net carbs. You could easily make this dish more keto-friendly by omitting the peas and reducing the amount of other veggies (carrot, onion, celery) by about half. You could also add more chicken if you wish, in order to compensate for the loss of veggies. If you use less onions, I suggest using a little onion powder to make sure you still get some flavor.
BISCUIT RECIPE
There are dozens of recipes online for keto biscuits. I chose to use my own recipe for "Dirty Keto" King Arthur Biscuits because each biscuit is exactly 150 calories, which is exactly what I'm allowed to have as my bonus item. The recipe it a bit more complex than drop biscuits, which are easier and less messy. You can use whatever biscuit recipe you prefer, or just skip the biscuits altogether. The biscuits are completely optional. Just note that if you are following my meal plan, the biscuits count towards your bonus.
📖 Recipe
Crustless Chicken Pot Pie with Keto Biscuits
Ingredients
- 2 medium onion
- 3 cloves garlic (one tablespoon chopped)
- 2 tablespoon butter
- 4 stalks celery
- 3 large carrots
- ¾ cup green peas
- 1.5 cups shredded chicken breast, cooked
- 2 cups chicken bone broth
- pinch salt and pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon xanthan gum
- ¼ cup heavy whipping cream
- ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar is a popular choice; I used an Italian Blend of Parmesan, Asiago, Fontina and Romano)
- 1 recipe keto-friendly biscuits (optional)
Instructions
- If serving with biscuits, make the biscuits according to the recipe.
- Chop the onions and mince the garlic. In a large skillet set to medium-high heat, sauté the onions, garlic and butter for 10 minutes. You want them to get fragrant and soft, but not burnt.
- While the onions and garlic are cooking, chop the celery and carrots. Add them to the skillet. Also add the peas, chicken, bone broth, salt, pepper and xanthan gum. Once it starts bubbling, turn down the heat to medium-low and let simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the cream and cheese. Turn down the heat to low. You want the pot to be barely simmering. Stirring frequently, let it simmer for another few minutes, until the desired consistency is desired. If you want it thicker, let it cook longer.
