This great meal weighs in a little heavier than most entrees with Weight Watchers but it has everything including the vegetable, starch and protein in one.  Weighing in at only 5 points per serving this is a great chicken pot pie that will take you back to childhood and your favorite comfort foods.  Not only will you have the rich flavors and cream you are longing for, but you will have a lighter fare that will satisfy while not being over indulgent.  For an added flavor you may wish to include 1/8 cup Parmesan cheese in the mix.  This brings out a richness that is missing due to the lack of cream as you would find in traditional pot pie recipes.
