I love Fall.  It is my absolute favorite time of year.  Though I don’t like COLD weather, I do like nice crisp mornings and snuggling up with Mike in front of the fire in the evenings… following an amazingly tasty meal.  This year I am already preparing for the holidays by making recipes that are as healthy as they are delicious – and even sometimes making myself a completely different meal than my family… after all, *I* am on this diet, not them.

Tonight I made my very first ever Chicken Pot Pie – a “healthy-ish” version for me, and a “normal” version for them.  To be honest… I could not tell the difference between the two.  Both of them were delicious and I am excited to have a new, simple meal to add to my repertoire.

  6. Bake 30-35 minutes or until edges are bubbly and crust is browned.

My Dad came over tonight and the five of us absolutely LOVED these pies.  I do not know that I have ever eaten a chicken pot pie before, but after tasting this one, I know this will be something we make often during the cool nights of Fall and Winter.  I wonder if I can cut a turkey into the top crust… hmmm…

  1. Yum! I LOOOOVE Chicken Pot Pies. My wife made me a healthy one once which was great, but she made the crust herself to be healthier, so it was a bit of a project. I’ll have to share this with her to give a try!
