Introduction

Paula Dean's take on Chicken Pot Pie (can be made with a lattice puff pastry top). Makes 8 servings (either in a 13x9 baking pan, or using ramekins), each under 300 calories and less than 15 grams of fat.

*If you substitute margarine for the butter, use Reduced Sodium/Low Fat Chicken Broth, and use Non-fat sour cream, you can save even more calories and fat grams.

**Add additional vegetables or use substitues if desired (mushrooms make a great addition). Adjust calories and fat accordingly.
