When it’s cold and rainy outside, there isn’t anything I like better than comfort food. So this past weekend when it was absolutely dumping outside I went searching for a healthier version of one of my childhood favorites, the chicken pot pie.

Growing up, my mom would frequently make frozen, pre-made chicken pot pie’s from Marie Callender’s for dinner. Each small pie contains 520 calories with high fat, carbs, and cholesterol counts so when I’m craving comfort food, these aren’t an option. Until now. I’ve recreated the creaminess of the pie without the heavy cream, include all the veggies, and a flaky crust! My healthy version comes in at 335 calories that are a healthy blend of fats, protein, and carbs. This is incredibly easy to make, was a crowd pleaser, and will be in our dinner rotation this winter.

What’s your favorite comfort food?
