Equipment Needed:

- Rolling pin
- Muffin tin
- Whisk
- Pastry cutter or knife
Ingredients:
For the Crust:
- 2 cups almond flour
- ½ cup butter, softened
- 1 large egg
For the Filling:
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup low-carb vegetables (e.g., broccoli, cauliflower, bell peppers), chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Prepare the Crust:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour and softened butter.
- Add the egg and mix until a dough forms.
- Shape the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to firm up.
- Prepare the Filling:
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and the cheese is fully melted.
- Add the shredded chicken and chopped low-carb vegetables to the cheese mixture. Stir to combine.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Assemble the Pot Pies:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Remove the dough from the refrigerator. On a sheet of parchment paper, roll out the dough to about ¼-inch thickness.
- Using a round cutter or a glass, cut out circles large enough to fit into the cups of your muffin tin, reserving some dough for the top crusts.
- Press the dough circles into the muffin tin cups, ensuring they cover the bottom and sides.
- Fill each crust with the chicken and vegetable mixture.
- Roll out the remaining dough and cut out smaller circles to serve as the top crusts. Place these over the filling and press the edges to seal.
- Using a sharp knife, make a small slit or poke holes in the top crusts to allow steam to escape during baking.
- Bake:
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crusts are golden brown.
- Once done, remove from the oven and allow the mini pot pies to cool slightly before serving.
