Lightened-Up Creamy Chicken Pot Pie with Root Vegetables
A comforting twist on a classic pot pie, featuring tender chicken breast, a medley of root vegetables, and a light creamy sauce. This dish balances warm, savory flavors with a satisfying, homestyle crust that won’t weigh you down.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 medium Carrot
1 small Parsnip
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Flour
1/2 cup Low Fat Milk
1/2 cup Low Sodium Chicken Broth
1/4 cup Non-Fat Greek Yogurt
1/4 medium Onion
Mixed Herbs and Seasonings (Salt, Pepper, Thyme, Garlic)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Dice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season lightly with salt, pepper, and a pinch of thyme.
Peel and chop the carrot, parsnip, and onion into small, uniform pieces.
In a medium saucepan, heat a small amount of water or cooking spray and sauté the onion until translucent. Add garlic (or garlic powder) and sauté briefly.
Stir in the chopped carrot and parsnip, cooking for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender.
Sprinkle the whole wheat flour over the vegetables and stir to combine, creating a roux base. Slowly whisk in the low fat milk and chicken broth, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
Add the diced chicken to the sauce and let simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove the pan from heat and stir in the non-fat Greek yogurt. Adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and additional thyme if desired.
Transfer the mixture into an oven-safe dish. If desired, you can top with a light crust made from extra vegetables or enjoy as a filling pot pie.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until the dish is heated through and the flavors meld.
Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your lightened-up creamy chicken pot pie!
