What’s in Keto Chicken Pot Pie Casserole

*Exact measurements are listed in the recipe card below.

How to Make Low Carb Chicken Pot Pie Casserole

Heat a large skillet to medium and add in the butter and olive oil.  Once the butter has melted, add in the onion, celery, carrots, salt and pepper.  Sauté for 10 minutes or until fork tender.

Then add in the chicken stock and mascarpone.

Once the mascarpone has melted, stir in the green beans and chicken, then continue cooking for 5 more minutes while you preheat the oven and mix up the batch of Drop Biscuits.  I recommend using Monterey Jack cheese in the drop biscuit dough, instead of cheddar, if possible.

Stir in the 1/4 teaspoon of Xanthan Gum and continue stirring till the sauce has thickened. Preheat oven to 400F.

Pour the chicken mixture into a 9″ x 13″ baking casserole dish, that’s been sprayed with nonstick spray.  

Take the drop biscuit batter and dollop 8 equal servings over the top of the casserole.  I like to use an ice cream scoop so they are more consistent and turn out fluffier.

Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the biscuits are golden.

Tips for Making the Best Keto Chicken Pot Pie Casserole

Substitutions

  • If you can’t find mascarpone cheese, you can substitute with cream cheese.  
  • The carrots in this recipe have a minimal impact on the net carbs, but you can certainly omit them if you’d like.
  • I used frozen cut green beans, but if you prefer to use fresh, be sure to add them and sauté them along with the carrots, celery and onion.
  • I recommend using Monterey Jack cheese in the drop biscuit dough, if you can.  Otherwise, you can use Cheddar or Colby instead. If you’ve never tried these Drop Biscuits before, they are fantastic and one of my most popular recipes!  Use them as egg and cheese breakfast sandwiches or with Sausage Gravy!

Quick and Easy Keto Casserole Time Saving Tips

Instead of making your own chicken stock, you can use a pre-made stock.  Sometimes I do this in certain dishes to save time or if I’m out of stock. When I do, I try to get a free-range organic stock that is NOT low sodium.

For the chicken in this recipe, you can use chicken breast that has been baked, roasted, poached or even grilled.  It’s easy enough to make your own Roasted Chicken in the Instant Pot (or pressure cooker), if you have one.

But to save time, you can use rotisserie chicken instead if you’d like.  I would try to use one that’s free range and organic, if you can.

If you want a great make part of the casserole ahead of time, you can prepare the chicken mixture and store it in the fridge till you are ready to bake it.  Then just put together the biscuit dough while you’re preheating your oven, and this will save you some time.

Another great time saver is, if you can find a frozen mix of veggies that you like (just make sure they’re Keto friendly), you can use them instead of  the fresh.  If you do this, you can add them in the skillet with the butter and olive oil, sauté just until they are thawed, add in the chicken, stock and mascarpone, then continue with the remaining steps in the recipe.

If your skillet is oven safe to at least 400F, you can actually just add the biscuit dough right over the top of the chicken mixture and bake it in the oven.  That will save you another pan to clean and make things a little easier on you!  I would say you will need at least a 12-14″ skillet to allow for the biscuits to spread enough. 

Are Carrots Keto Friendly?

Yes, they actually are!  Carrots are incredibly healthy and as most people know, are high in beta-carotene, Vitamin K1, Fiber and Biotin.  But because they are a starchy vegetable with a fairly high sugar content, you’ll want to eat them in moderation for sure.  Adding a small amount of shredded carrots to your Cole Slaw, Chicken Soup or Egg Roll in a Bowl is honestly just fine, just don’t overdo it.

How Many Carbs in Carrots?

There are 4.3 net carbs in one medium carrot.  So for the entire recipes, it’s a little over 8 net carbs and with 8 servings, we’re talking 1 net carb per serving.  As I mentioned earlier, you can certainly omit them if you’d like and the casserole will still be amazing!

  1. Question: I live alone and this makes 8 servings. Can these be portioned out into single serving foil containers and frozen. Then at a later date, thawed and baked.

    1. Yes, you can bake it first, then portion into single-serve foil containers and freeze. Then just thaw it in the fridge overnight and reheat in the oven when ready to enjoy.

  2. I omitted the sweetener in the biscuits and used mainly the monterey jack cheese in them, with just a couple pinches of cheddar as well. I also added onion powder and garlic powder, to taste, in the filling. Phenomenal recipe!!! I wouldn’t know it was Keto-if I hadn’t made it myself!! Thanks for the delicious recipe to add to my meal plan!

    1. I have frozen it before and it’s still really taste, but texture of the topping is best when it’s freshly made.

  3. 5 stars
    YUMMMM!!! So good, a nice tasty, comforting casserole for those chilly days. This tastes so good and the biscuit topping is THE BEST!!! We had some arguments over who would get the leftovers for lunch the next day!

    1. I made the biscuits first and I was thinking to put the other things together tomorrow.
      Do you think still be good if I with the pre made biscuits .
      .

      1. The casserole filling cooks at the same time as the biscuits. If you want to use premade biscuits, you can just cover and cook the filling, then place the biscuits on top afterward.

  4. 5 stars
    Wow! What an amazing take on a comfort food. This was delicious as is but I did add some poultry seasoning, onion powder to the filling and using a rotisserie chicken made it a quick prep . My dad and 19 y/o son really enjoyed it, and If I didn’t tell them it was keto, they would have never known. Can’t wait to make just the biscuits soon.

    1. I am so glad you and your family enjoyed it! It’s the perfect meal for these cool nights we have been having.

    1. Thank you so much! Keto really allows us to enjoy good food while getting healthy at the same time.

  5. 5 stars
    Phenomenal recipe!! I doubled it for my family and added a few seasonings; sage and poultry seasoning, which I normally add to my pot pie, but other than that I followed your recipe and it received great compliments from everyone! The drop biscuits were amazing and I will definitely be making those again for biscuits and gravy and other recipes. Thanks so much for sharing!

  6. Hi sorry is nutrition facts based on the whole thing and then we divide ? Or is it already a serving? Sorry newbie here

      1. For the Drop Biscuit recipe, I notice it calls for Swerve Confections. Do we put the sweetener in the biscuits that go on the Pot Pie or omit that?

      2. I prefer a little sweetness in my biscuits, but you can omit it if you’d like.

    1. One biscuit and all the filling under it, is about how it worked out in my casserole 🙂 It’s really pretty filling too!
