I ran the chicken pot pie recipe by my nutritionist, who emphasizes low-fat and portion control. She suggested eliminating the bottom crust... instead, you pour the pie contents straight into the pie plate, then place a pie crust on top. You get the flavor of the crust, but you're eating only a top crust, so you're eating less fat and calories.

I'm planning on trying this tomorrow night.

Yes, that was basically my reasoning for using biscuits, instead of an upper and lower pie crust. Well, that and I don't know how to make a pie crust without using crisco!
