INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast (85g)
50g Carrot
50g Parsnip
30g Onion
1/4 cup Green Peas (35g)
1/4 cup Low-Fat Milk (60g)
1 tbsp Whole Wheat Flour (10g)
1/2 cup Low-Sodium Chicken Broth (120g)
1 piece Whole Wheat Puff Pastry (45g)
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Fresh Thyme
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Dice the chicken breast into small bite-sized pieces. Season with salt and pepper.
In a non-stick pan, sauté chopped onion and minced garlic until translucent.
Add diced carrots, parsnip, and peas to the pan. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender.
Stir in the chicken pieces and cook until lightly browned on all sides.
Sprinkle in flour and stir to coat the ingredients evenly.
Pour in the chicken broth and low-fat milk. Add fresh thyme, and allow the mixture to simmer for 5 minutes until the sauce thickens and the vegetables are fully tender.
Season the mixture with additional salt and pepper as needed.
Transfer the filling into an oven-safe ramekin or small baking dish.
Place the whole wheat puff pastry over the top, tucking in the edges to encase the filling.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the pastry is golden and crisp.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
