Ingredients

• 2 cups almond flour
• 0.5 cup arrowroot powder
• 0.25 cup coconut flour
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 2 egg, beaten
• 0.25 cup coconut oil, melted
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 pound chicken breast, diced
• 1 cup cremini mushrooms, diced
• 0.5 cup onion, finely chopped
• 1 carrot, finely diced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 cup coconut milk
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, minced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0 black pepper, to taste

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, arrowroot powder, coconut flour, baking soda, and sea salt.

Step 3

Add the beaten eggs, melted coconut oil, and apple cider vinegar to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.

Step 4

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in garlic, diced chicken, mushrooms, and carrots. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 6

Add coconut milk, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let cool.

Step 7

Roll out the dough between two pieces of parchment paper to about 1/8-inch thickness. Cut out circles using a 4-inch round cutter.

Step 8

Place a tablespoon of the chicken and mushroom filling in the center of each dough circle.

Step 9

Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape and press the edges with a fork to seal.

Step 10

Place the hand pies on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with the remaining beaten egg.

Step 11

Bake the hand pies for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 12

Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
