Chicken Pot Pie - 9 WW Points +

It's taking some time, but we're slowly adapting to the Weight Watchers lifestyle.   The biggest thing I've learned is to plan ahead and to plug recipes into WW myself instead of trusting what I read online.  The worst thing is enjoying a "healthy" WW recipe, then putting it into the WW calculator and discovering it was way more points than I thought.  Now I figure it out ahead of time so there are no surprises.

That being said, you can totally trust me.  {Wink, wink.} 

I found this yummy Chicken Pot Pie Recipe on Food.com.  The points shown there were most likely based on the old system, but I recalculated them at 9 points + for a really good sized portion. 

To boost the flavor I added some spices, and we really enjoyed the result.  If you're expecting a traditional pot pie crust, this won't be it, but the biscuit-like topping has all of the flavor without the guilt.  The hubs even went back for seconds and he's a diehard fan of pie crust.

Add a salad for a quick and easy weeknight meal!
