Healthy Chicken Pot Pie

This healthy chicken pot pie is a meal that everyone loves. It’s a comfort food that we have all most likely enjoyed at one point or another in our lives. Well, I wanted to share my version of pot pie with you all that is homemade, healthy and relatively quick and easy.

Katie and I always joke with each other that we aren’t foodies or gourmet chefs over here. We are just your average busy women, trying to create and share recipes that the whole family will love but don’t take all night in the kitchen. Our goal is and always will be making life doable for you busy ladies!

So that’s what this recipe is. It’s delicious, healthy and doable. I want to start by mentioning the couple of things that make it more “doable”. First of all, buy a rotisserie chicken! It’s already cooked and they are so so good. I love the rotisserie chicken from Metcalfe’s. Pick N’ Save and Costco have good options too. Second of all, buy frozen mixed veggies. You can peel and cut your own.. but why?

Lastly, let’s talk crust. Most of you know, but I have been gluten-free for a few years. So when it came to finding a good pie crust, I was out of luck. Until I found Zen Belly. Her amazing gluten free pie crust is the best thing. I just leave out the coconut sugar and the vanilla to keep it savory vs. sweet. You can’t tell it’s gluten free! My family gobbles it up. If you aren’t gluten free, you can keep this step easy by buying a pre-made pie crust or if you’re up for making your own, go for it.

Have we convinced you to give this a shot? We think your family will approve. If you’re looking for other simple, family-friendly recipes, you can check some out here. Ok, here is the recipe for our Healthy Chicken Pot Pie! Enjoy, friends!
