Nothing says "comfort food" like a warm and crispy Chicken Pot Pie — this one is loaded with fattening and downright unhealthy ingredients.
That's why his personal chef, Chef Gordon Warne, whipped up this healthy remix. It's got all the savory and satisfying flavor (just like mama used to make!), but less of the heavy carbs and butter.
In fact, the average serving size of chicken pot pie has 46 grams of carbs — but not Chef Gordon's recipe. Each serving of this healthy classic contains only 12.5 grams.
