Light and Healthy Chicken Pot Pie
is an easy dish to show you how healthy swaps can still give you a great comfort food dish. Just by using lower carb veggies and a lighter list of ingredients you won't miss a thing.
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!
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!
Simple, easy ingredients for this one. You could substitute fresh veggies for the frozen to make it even better. And if you have some need to know how to prep those fresh ones for the freezer, you don't want to miss our post on HOW TO FREEZE FRESH VEGETABLES.
- 2 cups Cooked Chicken, shredded or cubed
- 2 cups frozen Mixed Vegetables
- 1 Sweet potato, cooked and cubed
- 2 cans Cream of Mushroom soup, low fat and low sodium
- ½ cup low-fat Greek Yogurt
- 6-8 sheets of thawed frozen Phyllo dough
- Salt and Pepper to taste
See recipe card for quantities.
Here is where the magic happens! Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl combine chicken, vegetables and sweet potato.
Add in soups, salt, pepper and greek yogurt, mixing well.
· Spray an 8x11 casserole dish with nonstick spray and pour in chicken mixture
Roll Phyllo dough into one long tube and slice into ½ 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.
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!
