Title: First try at low carb pot pie (not my best work)
Post by: TMB on March 20, 2017, 07:44:48 PM: I had a craving for pot pie and being on a low carb diet that ain't going to happen or was it?

I decided to try and make a pot pie from the low carb cheese bread recipe I've been using. I started by baking to lower crust in a 4 in ceramic dish then I was going to add the chicken (pre-cooked on the Rec Tec) and add a gravy for the filling. I didn't want to get to fancy for the first try but wanted to see if I could pull it off then go fancy later on.

So I started with cheddar cheese bread (mistake #1) cheddar cheese is very greasy
I then added smoked chicken which I made a few months back (it was good, but smoked chicken not the best for pot pie)
Next mistake I used gravy for the pot pie sauce (to heavy and not the best for pot pie)

Was it good? Yes and no, I'll do it again but not the way I did this one. Will use a different bread mix and not use smoked chicken

Looks good enough to eat -and definitely a worthwhile project to perfect this Tommy. It has been a about 18 months since I have had a pot pie. AND I WANT ONE!!!! :D

Thanks, but I assure you my better pot pie is in the works ;)

Main issue I think was the cheddar mix cause it was to oily. I will use a different mix next try

Not sure how that would work with cheese and almond flour but would be worth play with

good luck on your next try but I'll say the 1st sure looks tasty.
