Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Chicken breast
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 tablespoons Butter
• 1 unit Medium onion, diced
• 2 units Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 units Celery stalks, diced
• 1 unit Carrot, diced
• 2 cups Chicken broth
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 cup Frozen peas

Directions

Step 1

Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on both sides and fully cooked through, approximately 8 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest. Once cooled, dice the chicken into bite-sized pieces.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Sauté the diced onion, minced garlic, diced celery, and diced carrot until the vegetables are tender and the onion is translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 4

Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Allow it to cook for another 5 minutes to let the flavors meld.

Step 5

Stir in the heavy cream and sprinkle the xanthan gum over the top. Stir continuously until the mixture slightly thickens, about 3-4 minutes. Make sure there are no lumps.

Step 6

Add the diced cooked chicken back into the skillet along with fresh thyme, fresh parsley, and frozen peas. Stir everything together and let simmer for an additional 5 minutes.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. Once the filling is thick and creamy, it is ready for use in your favorite keto-friendly pot pie crust.
