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

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!

How many calories are in this Chicken and Mushroom 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 2
Add in the mushrooms and continue to cook until the chicken is almost cooked through (it should take about 10 minutes).
Step 3
Add the white wine vinegar, Worcestershire sauce and stock. Stir and allow to reduce slightly. Mix the cornflour with a little water, then stir this into the mix until it’s thickened.
Step 4
Remove from the heat and allow to cool for a minute or two.
Step 5
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 10
Spray with a little more low calorie cooking spray.
Step 11
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.
Step 12
Remove from the oven and serve.

How do you know when this Chicken and Mushroom Pie is cooked?
Once assembled, you’ll need to cook your Chicken and Mushroom Pie for 15-20 minutes or until the filo pastry is golden brown and crisp all over.
Standard advice here in the UK is to cook food until it has reached 70°C and stayed at that temperature for 2 minutes. This is to keep your family safe.
How long can you keep this Chicken and Mushroom Pie in the fridge?
Once you’ve put it out, ideally you should eat it within 4 hours.

Can I freeze this Chicken and Mushroom Pie?
Yes you can! This recipe can be frozen, but we would recommend just freezing the filling and then adding the filo when you’re ready to cook it.
Please also remember to do the following;
- Freeze it as soon as it is cold enough.
- 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!
How do I reheat this Chicken and Mushroom Pie?
From chilled: Place in an oven proof dish, loosely cover the top with foil and place into a pre-heated (180°C) for 10 minutes, or until piping hot throughout.

Looks delicious. When you say 6 mushrooms – what’s that in gram approximately? Thanks!
SharonWednesday 12th July 2023
Hi Caroline, 6 mushrooms weigh approximately 100g. Hope this helps!

Can u use potatoes instead of filo pastry
HollyThursday 8th April 2021
Hey Krystle, yes you could swap the filo pastry for potato and adjust the calories accordingly, hope that helps!
DeborahFriday 5th February 2021
This was absolutely delicious! I didn’t have filo pastry on hand so I made it and served over roasted spaghetti squash. My husband said definitely a keeper!
HollyFriday 5th February 2021
Hey Deborah, thanks so much for your message your tweak on the Chicken and Mushroom Pie sounds super tasty!
PenelopeMonday 9th November 2020
What can i use instead of quark
SharonFriday 13th November 2020
Hi Penelope,
thanks for you question. You can use a low fat soft cheese such as Philadelphia light instead of quark in this recipe.
BethThursday 15th October 2020
Heya be very helpful if you put how many servings was in a meal for calorie reasons
HollyThursday 15th October 2020
Hi Beth, if you scroll down to the recipe card there is a tool just above the ingredients list to alter the serving size up or down to suit your cooking requirements. Hope that helps!
SamMonday 7th September 2020
I hate mushrooms, what else do you think I could substitute them with? Thanks x
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!
Michelle RankineSaturday 5th December 2020
We replace our with leeks
LisaMonday 7th December 2020
Great idea Michelle!
Nan HughesMonday 29th June 2020
I have a piece of cold chicken and left over ham that I baked would I be able to use these with the ingredients.How many points extra would it be on the purple plan?
HollyMonday 29th June 2020
Hey, yes you can use the cooked chicken you have but cook the onions and mushrooms first as you will only need to heat the chicken through. This guide shows you how to work out calories and points in a recipe: https://pinchofnom.com/how-to-work-out-calories-and-points-in-a-recipe/recipes
