Ingredients

Scale

For the Filling:

  • 2 tablespoons butter (or olive oil)
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 medium carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon dried rosemary
  • ½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie works great!)
  • 1 cup green beans or peas
  • 1 ½ cups chicken broth
  • ½ cup heavy cream (or unsweetened coconut milk for dairy-free)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional, for depth of flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon xanthan gum (or 2 tablespoons almond flour for thickening)

For Topping (Optional):

  • ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese (for a cheesy twist)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Sauté the Vegetables:

    • Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
    • Add onion, garlic, carrots, and celery, cooking for 3-4 minutes until softened.

  2. Add Seasonings & Chicken:

    • Stir in thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
    • Add the shredded chicken and green beans/peas, mixing well.

  3. Make It Creamy:

    • Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
    • Stir in heavy cream and Dijon mustard.

  4. Thicken the Mixture:

    • Sprinkle xanthan gum over the mixture while stirring continuously to avoid clumping.
    • Let it cook for 2-3 minutes until thickened.
    • (If using almond flour instead, mix it with a bit of broth before adding.)

  5. Serve & Enjoy:

    • Remove from heat and sprinkle with cheese and parsley, if using.
    • Serve warm in bowls, or spoon over cauliflower mash for extra heartiness!

 

Notes

  • Make It Dairy-Free: Use coconut milk instead of cream and olive oil instead of butter.
  • Extra Veggies: Add mushrooms, bell peppers, or zucchini.

 

  • For More Texture: Top with crushed pork rinds or keto-friendly biscuits before serving.
