Do carrots count as a Keto food?

On the keto diet, carrots can be a little debatable. They provide very few carbs but a lot of great taste, so I decided to include them in the dish. The dish calls for half of a large carrot, which contains 3.5 grams of total carbohydrates. For me, that makes sense, but it might not be for you. That’s all right.

If carrots are allowed on your ketogenic diet, include them to enhance the flavor of the traditional chicken pot pie. It’s fine if carrots don’t fit into your ketogenic diet. Without them, this meal is still quite tasty!

Ingredients

Coconut oil, two tablespoons
1 lb. of skinless, boneless chicken thighs
8 tablespoons divided of salted butter
14 medium yellow onion, chopped after being peeled
1/4 cup chicken stock
12 a big, peeled, and sliced carrot
1 chopped medium stalk of celery
2 cups chopped florets of cauliflower
1/8 tsp. dry thyme
8 grains of salt
1/4 tsp. xanthan gum
heavy whipping cream, half a cup
2 ounces softened cream cheese
Shredded mozzarella, 1 1/2 cups
Finely ground blanched almond flour, 1 1/2 cups
For egg wash, whisk 1 large egg yolk.

Instructions

Set oven 400°F.
At over medium heat, you need to melt coconut oil in a medium skillet. Cook chicken for 7 minutes on each side or until no pink is visible and the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F. Let it cool for about FIVE mins on a cutting board, cut into pieces and they should of bite-sized.
4 tablespoons of butter should be melted in a medium pot on medium heat. Put onion and heat for THREE mins, or until tender. Along with the pepper, thyme, salt, and chicken broth put carrot, celery, and cauliflower.
The pot should be brought to a boil over high heat for one minute, then simmer, covered, for fifteen minutes, stirring the veggies occasionally. Pour heavy cream into the pot after immediately whisking in xanthan gum. Add cream cheese by whisking. The cooked chicken should be added.
Turn the heat low when the mixture has thickened for TEN minutes.
Add the mozzarella, remaining butter, and almond flour to a sizable microwave-safe bowl. Stir after 45 seconds in the microwave. Stir until a soft ball develops after one further 10 seconds in the microwave.
Roll the dough into a 9-inch circle on a flat surface while it is sandwiched between two sheets of parchment paper.
The chicken mixture should be put into a 9-inch pie dish. The dough should be placed on top of the dish so push the dough’s edges into the pie dish. Make four cuts in the dough, then brush the egg yolk over the entire crust.
Bake the dough for FIFTEEN minutes. Collect for ten minutes. Warm the contents before serving in bowls.
