I'd say it depends on the recipe! If it's a variety loaded with butter, flour, etc. then I would say it might be better for the soul than the body! ;) If it's a store bought variety, then you need to check the ingredients list very well to ensure there are no chemicals, dyes or preservatives. This recipe for healthy chicken pot pie from scratch IS healthy! It's loaded with veggies, protein, whole grain flour, vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium and iron! So much to love and still super cozy and satisfying!
