When it comes to recipes for easy, delicious casseroles loaded with vegetables, you can never have too many.
Keto chicken pot pie checks all the boxes!
This hearty, layered dish is simply a creamy chicken and sauce mixture poured over crunchy vegetables. Then, it’s topped with an almond flour biscuit to provide the perfect crust.
No need to roll out the biscuits, you simply mix the dough in a bowl and spread it out on top!
How simple does that sound?
An easy low-carb casserole
Traditional chicken pot pie casserole is a classic comfort food. Most recipes call for biscuits made from scratch or crescent rolls on top.
This keto pot pie uses a quick low carb biscuit dough instead. The biscuit topping only requires six ingredients: almond flour, an egg, heavy whipping cream, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt.
It’s about as easy to make as popping open a can of crescent rolls! And much better for you without all the added carbs.
If you’re looking for a healthy chicken pot pie casserole to make for you or the family, you have to try this recipe.
How to make keto chicken pot pie casserole
This keto pot pie recipe comes together in three main steps. Simply cook and layer the ingredients, then bake!
Prepare the vegetables
- Place a pot with a little water on the stove over high heat. Add the broccoli and cauliflower, then bring the water to a boil.
- Blanch the vegetables for 5 minutes, then rinse and drain.
- Add the cauliflower, broccoli, green beans, and red bell pepper to a 9×13 casserole dish and toss to mix everything together.
Cooking the creamy chicken filling
- In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Then add chicken along with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cook until the chicken is no longer pink in the center.
- Pour the chicken broth and heavy whipping cream into the skillet. Stir to combine.
- Add the garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Then cook the mixture down until the sauce has thickened.
- Remove the skillet from heat and mix in the Parmesan cheese.
- Pour the creamy chicken mixture over the vegetables in the casserole dish. Toss to combine.
Adding the biscuit dough and baking
- In a large bowl, mix the biscuit topping ingredients until well combined.
- Spread the biscuit topping over the pot pie filling in thin pieces. You want it to cover most of the filling. Use your hands to place the flattened pieces of dough evenly over the top.
- Place the pot pie casserole in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes at 350°F until the biscuit topping is cooked.
Once the crust is browned on top and the pot pie is bubbling, your creamy chicken pot pie casserole is ready!
How to freeze pot pie casserole
Casseroles are great freezer meals to feed the whole family on busy weeknights.
For this easy chicken pot pie casserole, you can choose to freeze it before or after you bake it.
If you want to freeze it before baking, store the casserole in a dish that is safe to go straight from the freezer to the oven. When you’re ready, bake it for longer to ensure it cooks through. You want a browned biscuit crust and a bubbling pot pie.
If you cook keto chicken pot pie and want to freeze any leftovers, store them in an airtight container. To reheat, place in the refrigerator overnight to thaw. Then you can reheat in the oven on a low temperature or microwave as individual servings.
How to make pot pie in a casserole dish
A classic chicken pot pie is baked in a pie dish. The filling is completely covered by a flaky pastry, which is really the star of the presentation.
I prefer to make a pot pie casserole because it’s much easier. Instead of an elaborate, perfect crust over the filling, you just add biscuit dough on top.
The rest of the recipe is the same as a classic pot pie. The filling is still a creamy mixture of chicken and vegetables that you add to the casserole dish.
Then you spread out the biscuit dough on top and throw it in the oven.
It takes less time, and it tastes just as delicious!

I get that a pie crust would slow you down but I prefer something closer to the classic. In terms of a night-before-but-not-frozen prep, you can completely make the filling ahead the night before and put it in the pan you will bake in then place it in the fridge, covered. You can also roll out a top crust and put it in a large baggie the night before as well. Then merely put the crust in place before putting the pan in the oven though the crust may crumble a bit, but like you said the the above recipe's biscuit top, there's no need to be fussy. Just another option, as would swapping the Italian spices for poultry seasoning and the Parmesan for cream cheese for those of us who grew up on Banquet! Thanks so much for options!

Could you use frozen broccoli and cauliflower?
Lisa MarcAurele
Frozen vegetables are fine to use in the recipe.

This was very good, however my sauce never thickened. It was more like a pot pie soup but very tasty! Next time I think I would add a little xanthan gum to the sauce to help thicken it more. Otherwise it was quick and easy to put together and very good.
Lisa MarcAurele
A thickener like xanthan gum or glucomannon can always be added if needed.
Jennifer Fisher
Loving this low carb comfort food! Have it on the rotation to make next week, may be switching some of the veggies based on what I can score at the market -- crazy times!
Donny
Yum! This is the kind of comfort food I need right now. Thanks!
Jean Choi
SO impressed that you made chicken pot pie keto! I'll have to try this version soon. Looks amazing!
Karen
This recipe sounds very good; am anxious to try it. Have one question: I have a very small family (3) and only 2 of us will eat the veggies. Could I halve the recipe and make it in a 9" pie pan? How would that affect the baking time? Thanks. I make many, many of your recipes and enjoy your blog.
Lisa MarcAurele
It can be halved if desired and baked in an 8x8 or 9x9 pan. I'd check it after 15-20 minutes, but baking time shouldn't change by much.
