INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 medium Carrot
1 medium Parsnip
1 small Turnip
1/4 cup Onion
1 clove Garlic
1/2 cup Low-Fat Milk
1/2 cup Low-Sodium Chicken Broth
1 tbsp Whole Wheat Flour
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F if you plan to finish the dish with a light broil for a slight golden touch on the top.
Dice the chicken breast into small bite-size pieces. Peel and cube the carrot, parsnip, and turnip; finely chop the onion and garlic.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onion and garlic until fragrant and slightly translucent.
Add the diced chicken to the skillet and cook until the pieces are lightly browned on all sides.
Stir in the cubed root vegetables and cook for about 5 minutes, letting them soften slightly.
Sprinkle the whole wheat flour over the mixture and stir well to coat the ingredients evenly.
Pour in the low-fat milk and low-sodium chicken broth while stirring continuously to prevent lumps, allowing the sauce to gradually thicken.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the mixture simmer for an additional 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the sauce reaches a creamy consistency.
For an optional light crust finish, transfer the mixture to an oven-safe dish and place under the broiler for 3-5 minutes until the top is lightly golden. Alternatively, serve straight from the skillet for a rustic presentation.
