Keto Slow Cooker Chicken Pot Pie
Keto slow cooker chicken pot pie filling with shredded chicken thighs, cauliflower, celery and green beans in a creamy thyme sauce, no crust needed.
What pushes a chicken pot pie out of keto is usually the potatoes, peas and carrots, more than the crust. This slow cooker filling uses cauliflower and green beans instead, in a creamy thyme sauce.
There is no crust, but you can top each bowl with an almond flour biscuit if you like. The filling comes to about 6g net carbs per serving.

How This Recipe Comes Together
Chicken, celery, onion, garlic, thyme and broth cook on low for five hours. The chicken is shredded, cauliflower goes in for the final hour and green beans for the final half hour. Cream, butter and xanthan gum thicken it at the end. Keep the lid on while it cooks so the slow cooker holds a safe cooking temperature.
