INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast
1 small Carrot
1 small Parsnip
1/4 medium Onion (quartered)
1 stalk Celery
1/3 cup Low-Fat Milk
2 tbsp Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 oz Whole Wheat Crust
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
2 sprigs Fresh Thyme
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Dice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Chop the carrot, parsnip, onion, and celery into small cubes. Mince the garlic.
In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the garlic and onions until softened, then add the carrots, parsnip, and celery. Cook for 5-6 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
Add the diced chicken and fresh thyme sprigs to the pan, cooking until the chicken is lightly browned on all sides.
Pour in the low-fat milk and stir in the Greek yogurt. Allow the mixture to simmer for a few minutes so that the sauce slightly thickens. Season with salt and pepper if desired.
Transfer the chicken and vegetable mixture into an oven-safe dish. Lay the whole wheat crust on top, tucking the edges slightly to create a seal.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until the crust is lightly golden and the filling is bubbly.
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm.
