This Chicken Pot Pie Casserole is the best way to enjoy comfort food in a paleo, healthy and delicious way!

It is definitely casserole season and my absolute number one favorite casserole has to be Chicken Pot Pie!!  It has always been an indulgent meal but once I realized I could make a grain free biscuit to put on top and clean up the filling, I was so excited to healthify my favorite meal.  Instead of using cream and flour to make a creamy sauce in this recipe I cooked up some onions and potatoes and blended them with chicken broth and coconut milk to make a super creamy and completely clean sauce to coat our veggies and chicken.  Now don’t stop reading if you are afraid of coconut!  The amount of coconut milk used is minimal and you can’t taste it at all – purely for the creamy factor.  Now let’s get into the most important part – the biscuits!  When I first attempted making them with my favorite Simple Mills Artisan Bread Mix, I tried to make them traditional and cut them into perfect circles – but they were a bit to dense and hockey puck-like.  So I added another egg and a little more coconut oil and made them a little more rustic by dropping them by the scoopful onto the casserole.  

This little trick turned them into perfect drop biscuits and looks much better in the final product.  I am so happy to be partnering with Simple Mills again on this dish because they are single handedly making my fall entertaining and life so much easier.  I am hosting a friendsgiving this weekend and of course a cheese plate is necessary so I will serving up lots of their almond flour crackers with all of the cheeses!  I will also be having a little giveaway on my Instagram next week for some crackers for your thanksgiving so stay tuned for that!  For now I think it would be wise to get all of these ingredients ASAP and make yourself the best casserole you will have all fall.  Oh and if you are looking for Simple Mills you can order them on their website, on Thrive Market, or around me I have found them at Whole Foods or Sprouts!  Sprouts has amazing deals if you have one near you!
