Low Cal/Low Fat Chicken Pot Pie

I was not going to list this recipe on here, but I guess it depends on what you consider healthy. In my opinion, I am more focused on nutritional value than I am on calories, fat, or carbs. I am more interested in cooking meals that have a good portion of fresh vegetables/fruit, a healthy source of protein and whole grains as well as limiting processed foods as much as possible.

So in my opinion, this meal does not quite make the Healthy dinner cut because it is lacking in these areas since it uses mostly frozen veggies (fresh is best), canned soup (processed food), sour cream (processed food), cheese(processed food), a pre-made pie crust (processed food) and white rice instead of brown (no longer a whole grain). BUT, if you are watching calories and fat...this recipe is not too shabby. At any rate, it is a delicious home cooked meal that does not have a lot of prep....and my kids have been begging me to make it.

So, how to make this recipe more healthy as far as it's nutritional value? Maybe make a whole wheat pie crust from scratch, sub out white rice for brown and find an alternative to canned cream of "X" soup that you can make yourself and cut out sour cream and cheese.....I have not found a version like this that also tasted good! Haha, but if I do I will share, until then we will have to settle for low calories/low fat and if you divide this pie into 6 servings, it is about 300 calories per slice including a 1/4c serving of rice.  As for the health-o-meter, this meal gets a B- by my standards.
