A comforting twist on the classic pot pie that’s been lightened up for a balanced meal. Tender chicken, sweet root vegetables, and a medley of peas and onions are enveloped in a creamy, low-calorie sauce, perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 medium Carrot
1 small Parsnip
1/4 cup Frozen Green Peas
1/4 small Onion
1/4 cup Skim Milk
1/2 cup Low-Sodium Chicken Broth
2 tbsp Low-Fat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Whole Wheat Flour
Salt & Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Dice the chicken breast into small cubes. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Chop the carrot, parsnip, and onion into bite-sized pieces.
Sauté the onions in the skillet until translucent, then add the chicken cubes and cook until lightly browned.
Stir in the chopped carrots and parsnip, cooking for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
Sprinkle the whole wheat flour over the mixture and stir to evenly coat the ingredients, creating a light roux.
Gradually pour in the low-sodium chicken broth and skim milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
Add the frozen peas and continue to simmer for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the sauce thickens slightly.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the low-fat Greek yogurt to achieve a creamy texture.
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper as needed, then serve warm.
