I missed chicken pot pies since being on keto. It was my favorite meal to have while breastfeeding my daughter. It was so easy to pop into the microwave and eat while nursing. Not only was it fattening, but it was so ADDICTIVE. But it was one of the things I knew I had to give up if I was going to take off the regained weight!
While researching keto crusts, I had the idea in my head that I didn’t want to make one of those large traditional pot pies, because it’s so much easier to have everything pre-portioned out into 8 easy Ramekins (affiliate link), especially if you make these early in the week to have on hand throughout the week. Then you can just take them out of the fridge, pop them in the microwave for a couple minutes, and you’re good to go!
This recipe makes enough for 8 individual pot pies, so if you don’t have 8 ramekins, there are a few alternatives you can do:
- Halve the recipe and make just four.
- Make them in batches using the few Ramekins you have and storing the ones that finish first in some storage container in the fridge.
- Use a baking dish (an 8″X11″ or a 9″X13″ will get the job done), and the same temperature and baking time.
I also wanted to show you how I easily portioned out the crust. I used my handy dandy cookie scoop! (Affiliate Link) Then just use the back of the scoop to smooth the batter over the filling a bit. If you don’t have a cookie scoop, though, it divides up well in about 1/4 cup portions.
