Light and Healthy Chicken Pot Pie is just a rethinking of your favorite comfort food. We still have that delicious chicken bathed in a delicious sauce topped with a crispy topping. We have just omitted some of the heavier items that tend to make it add to your waistline!

Comfort Food Reimagined

We love to take a traditional comfort food and change it up. Just like for our beautiful BACON CORNBREAD SALAD and our HOMEMADE CHICKEN SALAD, we show you ways to use non traditional things for healthy substitutions or flavor enhancements for sauces.

Let’s not waste any more of your time, let’s show you how to make it!

Roll Phyllo dough into one long tube and slice into 1/2 inch strips. Toss into a separate bowl and spray lightly with nonstick spray. Arrange over the top of the chicken mixture. Spray top again with nonstick spray.

Bake 20-30 minutes until pot pie is hot and phyllo dough is lightly browned.

Tips and Tricks

Can I use another kind of Protein ?

Yes! Baked Turkey is a great one to use to get the same poultry sense in the pot pie and a great way to repurpose any leftover turkey you may have. Baked Ham and even cooked ground chicken, turkey or lean beef are also great options!

What Can I substitute for phyllo dough?

If you aren’t trying to be healthier, biscuits or puff pastry are always good options. For a healthy spin, sprinkle with parmesan cheese and brown as the recipe suggests.

Can you taste the Greek Yogurt?

Not at all! If you are sensitive to yogurt, you can substitute with low fat sour cream and get the same result!
