Hoenderpastei (Korslose Keto-weergawe)
Crustless Chicken Pie (Keto Modified)
Yes, with a tweak: absolutely no pastry crust. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for South African food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A comforting South African classic, reinvented for keto. Tender chicken pieces, often with mushrooms and onions, in a rich, creamy, savory sauce, baked without a traditional pastry crust. The filling is hearty and flavorful, making it a delicious keto-friendly option.
Key ingredients
Chicken breast/thigh, heavy cream, chicken stock, mushrooms, onion, garlic, butter, herbs (thyme, bay leaf), salt, pepper, minimal cheese (optional).
How to make it keto
Absolutely no pastry crust. Request no flour or cornstarch as thickeners in the sauce (ask for a reduced sauce or xanthan gum if available). Confirm no sugar in stock or seasonings. Omit any high-carb vegetables like peas or carrots.
Watch out for
Flour-based thickeners in the sauce, hidden sugars in stock/seasoning, high-carb vegetables (e.g., peas, carrots) in the filling.
