INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 medium Carrot
1 medium Parsnip
1 stalk Celery
1 small Onion
1/4 cup Green Peas
1/2 cup Low-Fat Milk
1/2 cup Chicken Broth (Low-Sodium)
1 Tbsp Whole Wheat Flour (for roux)
1 tsp Olive Oil (for roux)
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Flour (for biscuit topping)
1 tsp Olive Oil (for biscuit topping)
2 Tbsp Water
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Dice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Chop the carrot, parsnip, celery, and onion into small, uniform pieces.
In an oven-safe skillet over medium heat, warm 1 tsp olive oil. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 2 minutes.
Add the chopped carrot, parsnip, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until slightly tender.
Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of whole wheat flour over the vegetables and stir for 1 minute to create a roux.
Slowly pour in the low-fat milk and chicken broth while stirring to avoid lumps. Allow the mixture to thicken for about 3 minutes.
Mix in the chicken pieces and peas, ensuring everything is evenly distributed. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, prepare the biscuit topping by combining 1/4 cup whole wheat flour, 1 tsp olive oil, and 2 tablespoons of water. Stir until a rough dough forms.
Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough evenly on top of the filling.
Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is lightly golden and the filling is bubbly.
Remove from oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
