Chicken Potpie – A Comfort Food Makeover

Comfort food is one of those things that you don’t want to mess with. There’s a reason that it’s called “comfort food!” However, it’s not so comforting to read the nutrition information for most comfort foods, chicken potpie included. This recipe meets the comforting requirements without all of the added uncomfortable nutrition information. Warm and filling, this potpie has a thick creamy filling with lots of chicken and vegetables and a soft, tender crust. Both your taste buds and your insides will be happy. 🙂
