Add 1/2 cup butter and 2 oz cream cheese; pulse 3 to 5 times or until mixture looks like coarse crumbs. With food processor running, quickly pour beaten egg through feed tube, and process a few seconds until dough begins to come together. Remove dough; shape into flattened disk. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate about 1 1/2 hours or until well chilled.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Make sure that all the ingredients for the crust of your Keto-Friendly* Chicken Pot Pie are thoroughly chilled beforehand. This helps make the dough easier to handle.
  • tip 2
    In this Keto-Friendly* Chicken Pot Pie recipe, xanthan gum (which has a variety of culinary properties) both thickens the filling and helps to hold the crust together.
  • tip 3
    Because the filling in this pie is generous, it’s important to use a deep pie dish, as a standard pie dish may overflow.
