INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1 medium Carrot
1 medium Parsnip
1 small Yellow Onion
1/2 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tbsp Whole Wheat Flour
1 cup Low-Sodium Chicken Broth
3 sprigs Fresh Thyme
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Dice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.
Chop the carrot, parsnip, and yellow onion into small, even pieces.
In an oven-safe pot or skillet, lightly sauté the chicken over medium heat until lightly browned. Remove and set aside.
In the same pot, add the chopped onions and a pinch of salt; sauté until soft and translucent. Then add the carrot and parsnip, cooking for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften.
Sprinkle the whole wheat flour over the vegetables and stir to coat evenly. Gradually pour in the low-sodium chicken broth, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
Return the chicken to the pot and add fresh thyme sprigs. Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes, allowing flavors to meld and vegetables to become tender.
Remove the thyme sprigs and reduce the heat to low. Stir in the nonfat Greek yogurt slowly until the sauce turns creamy. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Transfer the pot to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes until bubbly and heated through.
Serve hot and savor the light yet satisfying flavors of this pot pie.
