Is Chicken Pot Pie good for you?
I wouldn’t call this easy chicken pot pie recipe healthy per se…it has heavy cream, wine, butter as well as the pie crust…BUT each serving is under 500 calories so that’s a win in my book!
Everything in moderation. There are healthy tweaks you can make to this recipe to get the calories down even more.
Why is it called Pot Pie?
The origins of this recipe can be found in Greece. They placed meat in pots to serve. It was the Romans that added the top layer of crust, creating the “pie”.

Im going to try this but i hate carrots and peas so, Im making it with brocolli, corn, mushroom and onions. I will use 2 pie crusts on the bottom and top.
Let us know how it goes!
Just wanted to say- for those complaining that you can’t assume PEAS are in fact included in step 9- life must be hard overall… -_- Otherwise, recipe was great! Thanks!
Thanks for stopping by!
This was so good – big hit in my house. I only had salted butter, so it came out more saltier than expected (but that was my error). Otherwise it was delicious and my husband asked if I can make again.
Love to hear that!
It was hard to get to the actual recipe. Waaaaaay too much redundant filler (variations of “this is the best/easiest recipe” 6 times!!!!) before the pertinent information comes out. I guess that the author is trying to stretch out the article to sell more ad space. But there is diminishing return. The article went on so long before any actual instructions came up that I gave up reading and am leaving the page without seeing all the ads they are pushing on me. This is such a pet peeve of mine with online recipes.
In order to get high on the search page when you google recipes, those long blog post stories and repetitive words are necessary! We don’t think we need to write a story or repeat ourselves with every recipe, it’s just how it works. Without it, this recipe could end up on the 50th “O” on your google search page! The ads are a necessary evil to keep this website and the recipes free to use. Please use the “⬇ Recipe” at the top of the page to skip everything and go straight to the recipe card!
I made this recipe and it turned out really well. My husband loved it and didn’t have any suggestions for improvement – Yay! I didn’t have white wine so left it out. I substituted 2% milk for the cream, used cooked frozen mixed vegetables, and reduced the amount of pepper to 3/4 tsp as I thought 1tsp was a lot. The sauce was a bit thin so I added a cornstarch slurry and that thickened it perfectly. Great recipe. Will make a again and again.😊
Thanks for sharing, Ellen!
I would love it if you could make the adjustments mentioned in comments–to remember the peas, the lattice crust does sink into the filling as mentioned, so do the whole thing or bigger dish so crust doesn’t sink. more directions needed for novices for the egg wash, even with the video b/c after printing, its helpful. I would love to have it mention gf and dairy free options mentioned, which would also bring it up on keyword searches otherwise LOVE The Technique and taste. ! Fast and in 1 skillet. I served one batch out of skillet instead. THANK YOU
Thanks for sharing!
Awesome recipe! Husband loved it. For those concerned with liquidity, replace 1 Cup half/half or heavy cream with 1 cup cream cheese instead. Worked out great since I didn’t have the half/half or heavy cream.
Thanks for sharing!
Added extra ingredients and spices to make it my own and BAM!
Thanks fr sharing, Crissie!
Whoops: instructions don’t mention the peas. Guess we’ll have those on the side.
It’s step 9 in the instructions!
Ummmm – no, it’s not in step 9. Step 9 assumes all veggies and chicken are already in the skillet bc you’re adding the flour now … ya need to drop an instruction 8.1
The flavor was great!!! Your recipes are always a staple in our household! The only thing I did differently was use salted butter and added more chicken broth instead of white wine. I also should have just covered the filling with a whole pie crust instead of doing the lattice. The crust sank into the filling. Thank you for your flavorful recipes!!!
Thanks for stopping by and sharing, Kelly!
