Chicken Pot Pie

I LOVE comfort food! I also love pot pie. It’s such a treat especially with the cold weather among us. My Paleo Chicken Pot Pie recipe is simple to create and oh-so satisfying. Prep time for this dish is only 30 minutes which makes this simple, hardy meal a breeze. The crisp, flaky crust, and warm wholesome center, makes this pure comfort food in a pan. I cannot wait for you to try!

Figuring out the ‘classic’ crust you’ll find in an average pot pie was tricky. I wanted crunch, flakiness, and most of all something sturdy that wouldn’t fall apart when you cut out a slice of a heavy pot pie. This crust delivers! The crust is sturdy without sacrificing the crisp texture and “buttery flavor.

This Paleo Chicken Pot Pie is the perfect meal to make with leftover chicken. We usually find amazing deals on chicken legs and we’ll use the leftovers to shred into this pie. However, you can cook and dice approximately two chicken breasts for the filling as well.

Cooking Tips

  • Depending on where you shop, the peas and carrots may be sold in the same bag in the frozen isle. This is where I am often able to find diced carrots, which is the perfect size for the pot pie. Otherwise, a bag of frozen peas and freshly, diced carrots work well too. 
  • I stated it in the instructions, however I cannot stress enough how important using the parchment paper and dusting with arrowroot powder is when rolling out the dough. It will make all the difference in transferring the dough to the pie pan. 
  •  When making the dough, if the batter is sticky, simply place the dough into the fridge for 10-15 minutes before rolling it out. 
  • Don’t have a pie pan? When I first started making this recipe I didn’t either. You can use a cake pan instead! 



My best tip for saving money is cooking large portions of meat and using the leftovers for new dishes. For this pot pie, you can simply shred a left over whole chicken, or even leftover chicken cuts. When you utilize meat leftovers for an entirely new dish it helps your meat go SO much farther. This will help your budget extend further, as I'm sure you know, every little bit helps.

Double Chocolate Walnut Brownies

We are b r o w n i e obsessed here! 🖤 I am excited to share with you my beloved Double Chocolate Walnut Brownies recipe! Can you see how FUDGEY they are on the inside?! Seriously, these are incredible. 

These brownies are so tasty, when I first made them my hubby couldn’t believe it was actually Paleo! He still requests them often. Finally, a real deal Paleo brownie exists! I can’t wait for you all to try them! (We may or may not have already made them twice this week… 😳)

My Double Chocolate Walnut Brownies are a Paleo MIRACLE! The warm, fudge-filled center and crisp edges make this the perfect chocolate treat!

Other than tasting freak’n amazing—the best part is how easy these are to make! It takes less than 30 minutes to create these brownies from start to finish. So run to the Kitchen, grab a mixing bowl, and get started! You’re going to LOVE these!

Cooking Tips:

  • My first trick is to melt the coconut oil and pour in into the batter before the honey. This way the measuring cup is coated and the honey will just slide out with little effort.
  • Second, the brownies will continue to cook for several minutes after taking them out of the oven. So don’t over cook them if you want a fudgey center!
  • Finally, I used Enjoy Life brand chocolate chips. They are the best dairy-free + soy free option I have found.

Almond flour can get to be pretty pricey when stocking a Paleo pantry. I recommend King Arthur Brand because it’s a couple dollars cheaper than Bob’s Red Mill while still keeping the integrity of the quality. You honestly WANT to keep it to the name brands in Paleo baking because the off brands may not be as finely processed and the recipe may not turn out. Its not worth it. 

Thanks For Stopping By!
