Introduction

If you crave the comfort of chicken pot pie but want to keep things light and nutritious, this High Protein Crustless Chicken Pot Pie delivers all the hearty flavors you love—with extra protein and none of the heavy, calorie-laden crust.

Why Make a High Protein Crustless Chicken Pot Pie?

This recipe skips the crust entirely, focusing on juicy chicken, tender vegetables, and a creamy, savory sauce. The result is a warm and satisfying one-dish meal that’s naturally lower in carbs and loaded with protein for staying power. You’ll love how quickly it comes together—and how it leaves you satisfied, not weighed down.

Simple Prep, Maximum Flavor

To streamline the prep and pack in flavor, chop your celery, carrots, and onions into even pieces using a time-saving Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper. Shred cooked chicken breast with ease using the Chicken Shredder Tool Twist for Kitchen—an especially handy gadget if you’re doubling the recipe or prepping ahead.

A quick sauté in a high-quality nonstick skillet, such as the SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch, ensures golden bits and depth of flavor before the creamy sauce brings everything together.

Cooking and Baking Your Pot Pie

Thanks to its crustless format, this pot pie bakes up beautifully in the oven or can be air-fried for extra convenience using the COSORI Air Fryer 9-in-1, Compact & Large 6-Qt. Both methods yield bubbling, golden-topped results without fuss or mess.

Line your baking dish with a strip of Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll for easy cleanup and effortless serving—perfect for family dinners or make-ahead lunches.

Serving & Storage Tips

This crustless chicken pot pie is a meal on its own, but you can pair it with a crisp green salad for extra fiber. For portioning and taking leftovers on the go, use a leakproof meal prep container like the Bentgo Salad Container.

Store portions in your fridge for up to 4 days, or freeze for meal prep wins. Simply reheat in the oven or air fryer to restore that fresh-baked texture.
