Method
Tap a time to watch that step in the video.
- Biscuits: heat the oven to 350 °F (175 °C) and line a tray with baking paper. Whisk the melted butter, almond flour, baking powder, dried parsley, egg and stevia (if using). Scoop into 4 mounds, flatten a little and bake 15–17 minutes until golden. 0:32
- Filling: melt the ¼ cup butter in a large pan over medium heat and sauté the carrots, celery, onion, mushrooms and garlic with the salt and pepper for about 5 minutes until soft. 3:07
- Add the chicken, broth, cream and thyme, then sprinkle in the xanthan gum (measure it exactly — a little thickens a lot). Bring to the boil, then simmer on low about 5 minutes until thick, like gravy. 4:20
- Stir in the fresh parsley, divide among four 6–8 oz (180–240 ml) ramekins or bowls and top each with a biscuit. 5:44
Tip. Leftover roast or rotisserie chicken is ideal (they used pre-cooked packaged chicken). For fewer carbs the cooks suggest leaving out the carrots; broccoli works too. In the video they used shallots in place of the onion.

429 µg a serve, mostly from carrots (31%). Keeps eyes, skin and the immune system healthy. Orange vegetables and dark greens give beta-carotene, which the body turns into vitamin A.
Vitamin E High41%
6.1 mg a serve, mostly from almond flour (79%). An antioxidant that protects cell membranes. Nuts, seeds and plant oils such as olive oil are the main sources.
Selenium High41%
22 µg a serve, mostly from chicken (65%). Part of the body's antioxidant enzymes and needed for thyroid hormones. Seafood, eggs, meat and Brazil nuts are rich sources.
Vitamin B6 High27%
0.5 mg a serve, mostly from chicken (70%). Helps turn food into energy and make brain messengers. Chickpeas, fish, poultry, potatoes and bananas are good sources.

Vitamin B12 Source18%
0.4 µg a serve, mostly from chicken (42%). Keeps nerves and blood cells healthy. Found almost only in animal foods and fortified foods (some plant milks, nutritional yeast), so vegans need a reliable source.

Omega-3 Source13%

Vitamin C5%
4.5 mg a serve, mostly from onion (33%). An antioxidant needed for collagen, immunity and iron absorption. Long cooking destroys some, so raw herbs, citrus and capsicum help.
