    The Chicken

    This recipe for keto pot pie calls for cooked chicken. I like to pick up a rotisserie chicken at the grocery store when I don’t have any leftover cooked chicken. It makes prepping this recipe easy.Simply pick the meat off the whole chicken. I like to go for the dark meat pieces first, like the thigh and drumstick, as these have a higher fat content that white meat.

    Keto Pastry Crust

    The keto pastry crust used in this keto lunch recipe is my keto dough or fathead dough. I like to use this dough for other recipes other than pizza. It makes a crispy, crunchy crust to envelop the chicken pot pie filling. The cheesiness of the crust works well with the whole recipe.You can prep the fathead dough ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for a few days or in the freezer for 4-6 months. This will cut your recipe prep time in half for this keto meal.

    How To Store Keto Chicken Pot Pie Turnovers

    Besides making the fathead dough ahead of time, you can assemble these keto pot pie turnovers ahead of time before the baking step. Flash freeze separately until hard and store together in a ziploc bag in the freezer until ready to use. When you want to cook them, unthaw in the refrigerator overnight or cook from frozen.Store any leftover keto chicken pot pie turnovers in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.

    1. How do you keep the cheese from clumping on your mixer? I ended up hand mixing mine. Flavors are good but need some tweaks for my family’s tastes and the dough came out nice and fluffy.
