Chicken Pot Pie

Chicken Pot Pie

Here’s your all-in-one answer to the question, “What’s for dinner?” With veggies, chicken, and a flaky crust, our healthified Chicken Pot Pie is a meal in itself.


healthified recipe
This self-contained supper solution tastes as good as the original, but with a lot less fat. We used skim milk, 98% fat-free cream of chicken soup, and fat-free sour cream to keep the creamy texture while cutting 76% of the total fat from the original recipe.

1/2 cup butter > no butter
condensed cream of chicken soup > condensed 98% fat-free cream of chicken soup
1 cup sour cream > 1/4 cup fat-free sour cream
2 frozen deep dish pie crusts > 1 refrigerated pie crust
added 1 1/4 cups fat-free (skim) milk
