Lauren Conrad always knows what to say  and do to warm our hearts and, in this case, our bellies. Her 5.3 million Instagram followers got quite the treat Tuesday evening as LC shared her recipe, along with step by step instructions, for a lightened-up chicken pot pie.

The dish obviously includes lots of healthy veggies and savory chicken, but she lightens up the recipe by swapping traditional heavy cream with lower calorie almond milk. Skinny swaps for the win!

Because the full recipe was shared on Instagram story, fans resorted to drastic measures to capture every delicious step.

One 'grammer, @atablespoonoflife, wrote, "Screenshot overkill from my part, but I couldn't help it! The recipe is perfect!! Thank you for sharing!! ❤️"

Lucky for you, we're sharing the whole thing. Enjoy!
