Chicken and Mushroom Pie - Pinch of Nom Slimming Recipes

For the full list of ingredients and comprehensive instructions, please see the recipe card below. Before you scroll, there’s important stuff in the blurb!

This slimming friendly Chicken and Mushroom Pie uses filo pastry which is perfect if you’re counting calories or following a plan like Weight Watchers.

We’ve used filo pastry for our Chicken and Mushroom Pie instead of shortcrust or puff. Filo is much lower in calories and Points, in fact you’d probably save around half the amount of calories by switching to filo!

This Chicken and Mushroom Pie is a real comfort food dish and is just the thing if you’re craving a calorie packed, traditional pie. Serve with chunky chips, loads of vegetables or a gorgeous salad – the possibilities are endless!

What diets is this Chicken and Mushroom Pie suitable for?

This Chicken and Mushroom Pie can be made dairy free as long as you swap out the following ingredients for dairy free versions;

  • Quark

You can also make it vegetarian by swapping out the following ingredients for vegetarian alternatives;

  • Chicken breasts
  • Chicken stock

Please make sure to double or triple check all of your ingredients if you’re cooking for people with allergies.

Do you need any special ingredients to make this Chicken and Mushroom Pie?

This post contains affiliate links. Find out what this means.

The key ingredient to make this Chicken and Mushroom Pie is the filo pastry. You can get it in most supermarkets, usually in the chiller near the butter or in the freezer section.

You could substitute the filo pastry for a layer of mashed potato or even a small piece of puff pastry. Just remember that this will affect the calories and Points, so check how it fits into any diet plan that you’re following.

We’ve also used quark in the creamy sauce, but if you prefer you could substitute it for some low fat cream cheese instead.

Again, remember that this will affect the calories and Points, so check how it fits into any diet plan you are following!

Hints & Tips

Below we added some of our communities most common hints and tips. We hope you find them useful.

A little extra flavour
Why not add a teaspoon or two of mustard power, or Wholegrain mustard just after the cream cheese to give the dish a slight different taste.
This pie is so versatile.
I swapped the chicken for Turkey at Christmas and added on a bit of bacon to lift the taste of the Turkey. It was a favourite all round. I also used a bit of egg wash on the pastry to give it a glossy colour.
Delicious easy week day pie
I used philadelphia light instead of quark. This is a lovely sauce with a creamy texture. The filo pastry gives the pie a nice crispy top. I might add peas and carrots next time. Delicious pie!

There are 247 calories per portion in this Chicken and Mushroom Pie, which means it falls into our Everyday Light category.

This Chicken and Mushroom Pie is perfect if you’re following a calorie controlled diet and fits well with any one of the major diet plans such as Weight Watchers.

As a guide, an average man needs around 2,500kcal (10,500kJ) a day to maintain a healthy body weight. For an average woman, that figure is around 2,000kcal (8,400kJ) a day. Obviously, if your goal is to lose weight then you might want to adjust these slightly! You can read more about these recommendations on the NHS website.

Step 1

Spray a pan with some low calorie cooking spray, sauté the onion and chicken until they start to colour.

Step 4

Remove from the heat and allow to cool for a minute or two.

Pre heat the oven to 180°C.

Step 6

Stir the quark into the pie mix. Check the seasoning and add some sea salt and freshly ground black pepper if necessary.

Step 7

Pour the pie filling into an oven proof dish (we used a 19 cm shallow dish but you can use a smaller deeper one if you want).

Step 8

Take one sheet of filo, lay it out flat and spray generously with low calorie cooking spray.

Step 9

Cut the sheet into 8 even pieces. Scrunch each piece up lightly then place them on top of the pie filling. Try to leave as fewer gaps as possible.

Step 9 pinchofnom.com

Place the dish on a baking tray (just in case it drips) and cook for 15-20 minutes or until the filo is golden brown and crisp all over.

  • Use a container or bag that is suitable for freezing.

Don’t forget to add a label with what it is, and on what date you put it in the freezer!

Looks delicious. When you say 6 mushrooms – what’s that in gram approximately? Thanks!

I hate mushrooms, what else do you think I could substitute them with? Thanks x

Reply

    LisaMonday 7th September 2020

    Hi Sam
    You could replace them with pretty much any veg. Sweetcorn and peppers would be nice or broccoli. You could even use some frozen mixed veg.
    Hope you enjoy it!
