Potato Topped Creamy Chicken and Spinach Pie

Creamy Chicken and Spinach Pie with a delicious golden rustic potato topping and creamy sauce this pie makes a perfect family meal. 

Potato Topped Chicken Pie

This is such a comforting meal that the whole family will love. Tender pieces of chicken, in a creamy sauce with the goodness of spinach and those rustic golden potatoes for the topping are just heavenly.

Paired up with some green vegetables for the sides, this makes a delicious dig in and help yourself kind of meal. 

Best Potatoes for Pies

My favourite time of potatoes to use for this pie is Yukon Golds, you won't find a better potato. Amazing buttery flavour without having to add any button and that beautiful golden colour.

In the UK a similar variety is the Elfe Potato which can be found at Aldi or Waitrose. If you struggle to find those too, I do recommend using a waxy variety of potato over floury. It just makes a much nicer topping for this Chicken and Spinach Pie.

Lighter Creamy Sauce

For the creamy sauce, I use low fat cream cheese, milk, stock and some cornstarch it makes an yummy creamy style sauce for much less fat and calories.

I don't recommend using quark instead of the cream cheese, it will split in this pie and doesn't yield the same creamy style sauce. 

HOW CAN I ADD A ⅓ VEG FOODS TO THIS RECIPE?

Obviously, the spinach in this pie will count towards your ⅓ VEG, but to increase those to a ⅓ of your plate. I recommend adding some other greens of choice, we went for some steam broccoli and green beans, nice and simple and I just seasoned it with good ole sea salt and black pepper.

If you often feel confused about speed foods. I recommend reading over The Benefit of Vegetables - it will really help to understand how it works within Slimming Eats.

Individual Pies perfect for Freezing

Making this for less than 4 people? Make it up in smaller single serving dishes and then you can freeze the other portions, you will be thankful to have them in your freezer for a quick meal to put in the oven on a busy hectic day.

You could even freeze it with your serving of ⅓ veg to save even more time. Just ensure you choose a vegetable that will cook well in the oven with the pie. Broccoli is perfect roasted and is one of my favourites.
