Got your plate ready? Good, 'cause you're going to want a bowl of this Lighter Chicken Pot Pie. It's got all the cozy mixed in, like veggies and chicken in a lightened-up cream sauce. Don't worry, we've even added a bit of crust to this diabetic-friendly chicken pot pie!

What You'll Need

1 tablespoon light margarine
1/2 cup chopped onion
8 ounces mushrooms, coarsely chopped
1 1/2 cup frozen mixed vegetables, thawed
3 cups cooked diced chicken
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup reduced sodium fat-free chicken broth
1/2 cup fat-free evaporated milk
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 slices reduced-fat crescent rolls (from an 8-ounce package)

What to Do

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a 9-inch deep dish pie plate with cooking spray.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt margarine. Add onions and mushrooms and cook 3 to 5 minutes, or until just softened. Add vegetables, chicken, thyme, salt, if desired, pepper, and broth; simmer 5 to 6 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk evaporated milk and flour. Pour into skillet and continue to cook 3 to 5 minutes, or until sauce is thickened.
Pour chicken mixture into pie plate and arrange dough slices on top, placing the widest side of dough on outer edge of pie plate.

everything seems to use 'packet of cake mix' do you have any recipes which do actually cook from scratch without using a 'packet mix' of anything, i live in UK, and do not really see these fat reduced/or diabetic cake mixes packets on my supermarket shelves?

Hello! Since we are an American based company, most of our recipes are designed for shopping in the States. We're sorry you aren't finding what you need in your supermarket. Most of our recipes are designed to be simple for the home chef; this is why we use Diabetic/sugar free cake mixes. But, we do have scratch baking recipes on our site! Search for our Little Italy Cake, or our carrot Cake. Thank you for commenting. :) We hope you find this helpful and that you have a wonderful day!

To make this ahead of time, you can prepare the casserole and freeze before baking. On the day of, just thaw and cook.

Even though we ate 2 servings each(no willpower) is only came to @410 calories...not bad. Very tasty....have used frozen mixed veg and just broccoli and just green beans...tend to add more veggies than recipe calls for
