Description

How to make High Protein Crustless Chicken Pot Pie with tender chicken, mixed veggies, and a creamy sauce that’s perfect for a healthy weeknight meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • Protein & Base:
  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or cubed
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup milk (2% or whole)
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
  • Vegetables & Thickener:
  • 3 cups frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, green beans)
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 stalk celery, chopped
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • Aromatics & Fats:
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Seasonings & Garnish:
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Sauté Aromatics: In a large oven-safe skillet, melt butter with olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and celery, cooking for 5-7 minutes until softened. Stir in minced garlic for 1 minute until fragrant. Don’t rush this step; it builds the flavor base.
  2. Create Roux: Sprinkle flour over the sautéed vegetables, stirring for 1 minute to cook out the raw flour taste. Gradually whisk in chicken broth and milk until smooth and thickened, about 3-5 minutes. Whisk constantly to prevent lumps for a silky sauce.
  3. Combine Filling: Remove from heat. Gently fold in Greek yogurt, shredded cooked chicken, frozen mixed vegetables, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Ensure all ingredients are well combined into the creamy sauce. This forms the delicious High Protein Crustless Chicken Pot Pie filling.
  4. Bake Pie: Transfer the filling to a 9×13 inch baking dish (or use the oven-safe skillet). Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25-30 minutes, until the edges are bubbly and the sauce is thickened. This bakes your High Protein Crustless Chicken Pot Pie to perfection.
  5. Rest & Garnish: Carefully remove the dish from the oven. Let the High Protein Crustless Chicken Pot Pie rest for 5-10 minutes; this allows the sauce to set beautifully. Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley and optional shredded cheddar cheese before serving.
  6. Serve Warm: If using cheese, let it melt slightly from the residual heat. Dish out generous portions of your comforting High Protein Crustless Chicken Pot Pie. It’s a healthy, satisfying meal perfect for any night. Enjoy every savory, creamy bite!

Notes

Always whisk flour and liquid constantly when creating the roux to prevent a lumpy sauce.

Store leftover pot pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.

Substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free blend for a gluten-free version.

Let the pot pie rest for 5-10 minutes after baking to allow the sauce to set beautifully.

Ensure your Greek yogurt is plain and unsweetened for the correct flavor profile.
