Protein Power: Upgrading Your Pot Pie

You’ll get more protein per serving than standard recipes, making it ideal for active families, fitness enthusiasts, or anyone looking to stay satiated and strong.

Soup Assembly: Bringing Cozy Comfort to the Table

Instead of fiddling with pastry dough, just simmer your chicken and veggies, fold in a quick dairy addition, and finish with a handful of peas or corn. The ingredients come together into a thick, creamy soup, reminiscent of pot pie filling but lighter and more convenient to prepare. For an extra boost, toss in white beans or lentils—they blend right in and amp up the filling factor even more.

Instructions

1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until starting to soften.
2. Add the garlic and chicken pieces. Cook until the chicken is golden on all sides (about 6-8 minutes). Stir in thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper.
3. Sprinkle flour over the mixture and stir for 1-2 minutes to coat. If using white beans instead of flour for extra protein, add beans now and mash some with the back of your spoon to thicken.
4. Add potatoes and pour in chicken broth. Stir, scraping up any browned bits. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 15-20 minutes or until potatoes and carrots are tender.
5. Stir in peas/corn and Greek yogurt, mixing until well blended and creamy. If soup is too thick, add an extra splash of broth.
6. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley or thyme.
