  • 2 to 3 boneless chicken breasts (about 1½ pounds), diced

  • 2 cups chicken broth (may need more but start with this

  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • ½ red onion, minced
  • 1½ cup raw cashews, soaked for 4 to 6 hours, then drained
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Crust

  • 1½ cups blanched almond flour
  • ½ cup raw sunflower seeds

  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon water

Directions

1. Heat 2 tablespoons of the coconut oil in a large skillet set over medium-high heat.

2. Add the shallots and sauté them for 5 minutes, or until

they are translucent.

3. Add the carrots, celery, and half the minced garlic, and

continue to sauté until the carrots begin to soften, about 3

to 5 minutes.

4. Add the chicken and cook until most of the pink hue is

gone from the flesh.

5. Add the peas and ½ cup of the chicken broth.

6. Continue simmering until the vegetables are tender and

the chicken is fully cooked.

7. Salt and pepper to taste, and set aside.

8. In a medium skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of

coconut oil over medium-high heat.

9. Add the red onion and sauté 5 to 8 minutes.

10. Add the other half of the garlic and sauté for an additional

3 minutes. Remove from the heat.

12. Transfer the mixture back to the large skillet with the

chicken and vegetables, and cook everything over

medium heat until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.

13. Add more broth if needed and stir frequently.

14. Further salt and pepper to taste, then transfer everything

to a lightly oiled deep baking dish.

15. Preheat the oven to 350°F.

16. To make the crust, in a food processor combine the flour,

sunflower seeds, herbs, garlic powder, salt, olive oil, and

water, and pulse everything until well combined.

17. Roll the dough out on a lightly floured (non-gluten flour)

cutting board or on a sheet of parchment paper, which might

be helpful in transferring the dough to the baking dish.
