Do you begin craving chicken pot pie when the cooler weather arrives? So do we! But if you desire a healthier version of this favorite comfort food, try this chicken and sweet potato pot pie recipe. The sweet potato adds a lovely sweetness and delivers more nutrients than traditional pot pie recipes. And if you want a shortcut, use the meat from a tender rotisserie chicken instead of cooking the chicken yourself. Once you’ve made it, feel free to share the recipe with family and friends on Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, and Twitter.

To make 8 servings, follow the recipe instructions listed below. Note that you can also prepare the Gluten-Free Pie Crust and the filling ahead of time so that you can realistically serve this for a week-night dinner! Store in the refrigerator and, when ready to bake, fill eight ramekins and sprinkle grated Cabot Lite50 Sharp Cheddar evenly over the filling in each ramekin.

Place rounds of pie crust over each filled ramekin and pierce the crust several times with a fork. Combine egg and water and brush evenly over the crusts. Place ramekins on a baking sheet lined with foil and bake for 15 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling and the crust is golden.
