This keto chicken pot pie is a comfort food dinner. It comes together quickly to pop in the oven and as it bakes, the scent of it will fill the house as the family gathers home for the evening.
This keto chicken pot pie is a remake of my own Crumble Crust Chicken Pot Pie . I was really craving my regular crumble crust pot pie. I knew the wheat flour in the crust would absolutely ice the possibility any weight loss.

Funny how after a while you learn which foods help or hinder your weight loss.
Having said the above I should warn you that the recipe is, I suppose, slightly naughty because I chose to use the convenient regular frozen mixed veggies. This means that there is a little bit of corn in the mixture.
Horrors! –Well, maybe not, a small amount of corn kernels and a tiny amount of wheat doesn’t affect me.
The carbs are still low because even with the corn in it the net carbs for 1/6th of the pie are just under 8 net grams carbohydrates. (And you may have to find a gluten-free Cream of Mushroom soup if you are wheat sensitive.)
If you feel strongly about skipping the corn, you could use a cup of chopped zucchini instead of the mixed vegetables and save almost 1.5 grams of carbs per serving. Only you know what will work best for you.
I was very pleased with the crust topping which is made of almond flour, shredded cheese and a bit of butter. So yum and it browned up perfectly.
You may want to watch the crust toward the end of baking. Tent a square of foil on top of the pie so it won’t scorch if it is browning too quickly. It depends on the oven.
I love warming up a serving of this keto chicken potpie in the microwave. It’s nice lunch the next day when the flavors have had time to truly combine and mellow. It’s filling and warm and so comforting. Enjoy! –Laura
