These Skinny Chicken Pot Pies are the ultimate single serving comfort food made healthier with zero butter or heavy cream! Easy to make and your family will love this!
You asked for it so I delivered! Lightened-up chicken pot pies have been my highest recipe request for so long now and not just by you…um my boyfriend has literally been begging me to make this for over 2 years now.
Clearly I’m a terrible girlfriend.
Well to be honest, I’ve NEVER made chicken pot pies before and have always just assumed they would be really hard to make. Yes I’m aware I’ve just admitted to being an insanely lazy, pessimistic individual, but hey let’s move on.
All I have to say is fresh thyme, roasted chicken, fluffy biscuits…need I go on?? I really wanted to make my own dough for this, but I just love how quick and easy this is! The perfect weeknight dish (when your running home late from work per usual) to serve your family that is hearty and delicious, yet perfectly portioned and low in calories. You can’t go wrong!
And ohh how I wish you could see my kitchen right now. It. Is. EMPTY. I’m talking bare, desolate, completely void of anything remotely cooking related. To be honest, I kind of love and I kind of hate it. This weekend was spent packing since we’re officially moving next week (yay!!) so I thought I’d go ahead and get a jump start on my kitchen since 85% of the things I own are held there. Thankfully we knocked it out in one day and are now left with 4 plates, some silverware, a cutting board and like one pot. Sigh. Guess I won’t be cooking much this week, but I can’t begin to tell you how nice it is to have a clean, organized kitchen!
I suppose it’s not hard to organize 6 things.Still it’s nice to have clear counter tops and empty cupboards, makes cleaning a whole LOT easier. So if I’m lacking recipes the next two weeks, you know why. My apologies ahead of time.
Skinny Chicken Pot Pies
Ingredients
- 1 cup fat-free half and half
- 1 cup fat-free chicken broth
- 3 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp. poultry seasoning
- 1 tsp. thyme
- 2 cups roasted skinless chicken breast, cubed
- 1 10 oz package frozen mixed veggies
- 4 green onions, chopped
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. pepper
- 1 can, 7.5 oz refrigerated reduced-fat biscuits
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together half and half, chicken broth, flour, poultry seasoning and thyme. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to a simmer, continuing to whisk for about 4 minutes. Once mixture has thickened, remove from heat and stir in chicken, mixed veggies, green onions, salt and pepper. Cover to keep warm and set aside.
- Coat 5 (6 oz) ramekins with nonstick cooking spray.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out 5 biscuits into 4-inch rounds. Evenly fill ramekins with chicken mixture and top each with a rolled out biscuit, pressing firmly around the sides of the ramekin to adhere. Pierce 4 holes in the top of the biscuits to vent and place in oven.
- Bake pies for about 12 minutes, until filling is bubbly and biscuits are golden. Enjoy!

Looks yummy! I don’t have ramekins, so how long would I bake it all for in a 2-qt. casserole dish?
Made these the other night…Oh my!!!! I made 2 batches actually. Soooo delicious :O) Everyone just loved them! The only thing I changed on the second batch was to roll out 2 bisquits per pot pie and covering the pot pie and not the ramekin. They puffed up nicely this way and were not sooo thin. This is going to be a staple go-to in my home :O)
Sooo happy I found your site!
So glad to hear you enjoyed these!!!
Is it possible to use almond milk or regular milk rather than half and half?
what size pan do you recommend using if NOT making individual portions? i want to make a big serving for my family, but am not sure on pan size, oven temp, or baking time. please advise at your earliest convenience today. THANK YOU!
Think you can just roll out all the biscuits and place on a larger (ramekin shaped) dish? I don’t have individual ramekins 🙁 I feel like it would work but wondering if anyone else has tried?
Yes that would absolutely work! 🙂
I love your website! Your food is amazing! Especially these!! Big fan and so easy to put together!
These skinny chicken pot pies have become a staple in my home! They are fun, easy, delicious, and so pretty! Thank you, Kelly, and well done 🙂
These look delicious! This will sound like a stupid question but what is biscuit? It looks like bread. I am in Australia and we have no such thing as canned biscuit… what could I use instead? Thanks
Hehe canned biscuit is simply dough that hasn’t been baked yet! 🙂 You can use any type of dough that you can roll out and place on top of the dish, we just use biscuits (or rolls) because they puff up nicely.
