INGREDIENTS

For the Filling:

• 2 Tablespoons avocado oil (Click here for my favorite brand on Amazon)
• 2 Tablespoons Butter
• 1 Cup Shredded or diced Carrots
• 1 Cup Diced Celery
• 1/2 Cup Diced Onion
• 4 Cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 Pounds Chicken breast or boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1 inch pieces
• 1 Cup Heavy Cream
• 1 Cup Chicken Broth
• 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum

For the biscuit topping:

• 2 Cups almond flour
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt
• 1/4 teaspoon Baking powder
• 4 Large Eggs
• 1 Cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/4 Cup Melted butter

INSTRUCTIONS

• Pre-heat the oven to 400F. In a large skillet (see notes) over medium heat, add the butter and the avocado oil.  Add the onion, carrot, and celery.  Sauté until vegetables are soft…6-8 minutes.  Add the chicken and season with salt and pepper.  Cook until chicken is almost cooked through.
• Add in the chicken broth, heavy cream, and xanthan gum. Let simmer until the sauce is thickened.  While the sauce is simmering, make the biscuit dough.
• In a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients for the biscuit dough. using a large cookie scoop, portion the mixture into biscuits on top of the filling.  Flatten out the tops of the biscuits with the back of a spoon.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve.

Note:

This is a large recipe so you can freeze half, cut the recipe in half, feed a large family, or have lots of leftovers.

I used a 5 quart skillet for this recipe so I could cook the meat and vegetable mixture in the same pan that I bake it in.  If you do not have a skillet this big, you can cook the filling, then transfer it to a 9×13 casserole dish.
