Calories: 450kcal
Ingredients
- 500 g skinless boneless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup cauliflower florets
- 1 cup green beans chopped
- 1 medium onion finely chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic minced
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup chicken broth no added sugar
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and garlic, sautéing until the onions become translucent.
- Add the chicken pieces to the pan. Season with salt, pepper, dried thyme, and rosemary. Cook until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, approximately 10 minutes. Remember to stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Add the chopped green beans and cauliflower florets to the pan, mixing them well with the chicken. Sauté the vegetables for about 5 minutes, or until they start to soften.
- Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring well to combine all ingredients. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Lower the heat, cover the pan, and let the mixture cook for 15 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together and the vegetables to cook thoroughly.
- After 15 minutes, uncover the pan and give the mixture a good stir. If the sauce is too thin, you can let it simmer uncovered for an additional 5 minutes or until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Remove the pan from heat.
- Serve the Keto Crustless Chicken Pot Pie hot, garnishing each serving with a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
