This hearty chicken and spinach pie is one of those comforting dishes that brings warmth to any dinner table. Inspired by the classic pot pie, this version is a bit lighter with the addition of fresh spinach, yet still satisfying with its creamy chicken filling. It’s perfect for those busy weeknights when you want something homemade but don’t have hours to spend in the kitchen. Plus, it’s a great way to sneak in some greens for the kids!
This pie pairs beautifully with a simple green salad or some roasted vegetables on the side. If you’re looking to make it a more substantial meal, consider serving it with mashed potatoes or a warm, crusty bread to soak up any extra filling. A glass of chilled white wine or a light beer complements the flavors nicely, making it a delightful dinner option.
