Grain Free Chicken and Biscuits Pot Pie could make a lot of folks happy.
We are foodies, which means we dine out a lot more than most people, even though most of you see me cooking and cooking and cooking, recipe after recipe.
While I do tinker in the kitchen, I have a thing for dining out because I was raised that way. Weekends usually mean restaurants and Sundays usually mean recovery, but it certainly still has to be that big fat healthy food that we look forward to.
This dish was originally inspired by my mom, Retro Rose. She loved comfort food made with biscuits. You can bet that if we went out to restaurant and chicken and biscuits was on the menu, you can bet she would order it. She’s no longer with us, but her spirit is and
Chicken and Biscuits can be made with any number of Spinach Tiger’s biscuits.
What ingredients are in grain free biscuit?
This is the biscuit I sell in my keto bakery. It’s made from almond flour, coconut flour, butter, golden flax, egg whites, baking powder and salt. You can find the recipe for the biscuits here.
How to thicken keto chicken and biscuits
Instead of using flour, I used gelatin as a thickening agent to make this keto friendly. If you don’t want to use gelatin, you could use arrowroot or a very small amount of xanthan gum. You could also add some heavy cream.
This is the best keto comfort food. You will still love the comfort of the creamy chicken and the crispy biscuits.
Instead of potatoes, I used cauliflower rice, and added in some broccoli, carrots, celery and onions..
The biscuits are baked separately and put on the chicken right before serving, so they don’t get soggy.
There is a gluten free biscuit version of this dish here.
This dish can also be made with these grain free cheddar biscuits.
