Leftover Pot Pie → Lightened Pot Pie Skillet (No Crust)

Why it’s healthier: removes heavy crust, keeps flavor

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups leftover pot pie filling 

  • 1–2 cups extra vegetables (peas, carrots, green beans, spinach) 

  • ½ cup low-sodium chicken broth (if needed to loosen) 

  • Optional topping: mashed cauliflower or a small amount of whole wheat biscuit dough 

Instructions:

  1. Heat the filling in a skillet over medium heat. 

  2. Stir in extra vegetables to bulk it up. 

  3. Add a splash of broth if it is too thick. 

  4. Optional: top with mashed cauliflower instead of the crust. 

  5. Warm through and serve. 

Healthy tip: You cut a lot of calories while doubling the veggies.
