Lightened-Up Creamy Chicken and Root Vegetable Pot Pie
Savor a comforting twist on a classic pot pie, featuring tender chicken, a medley of sweet root vegetables, and a light, creamy sauce that brings warmth and heartiness without the heaviness. This dish is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner and delivers a balanced blend of protein and vibrant flavors.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
100 grams Mixed Root Vegetables (Carrots, Parsnips, Turnips)
1/4 cup Low-Fat Milk
1 tablespoon Whole Wheat Flour
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1/4 cup Chicken Broth
1 teaspoon Fresh Thyme
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced root vegetables and sauté for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften.
Sprinkle the whole wheat flour over the vegetables and stir well to combine, cooking for an additional 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.
Gradually whisk in the low-fat milk and chicken broth. Allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes until it thickens into a light creamy sauce.
Dice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Add the chicken and fresh thyme to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to evenly coat with the sauce. Let simmer for another 3-4 minutes until the chicken is just cooked through.
Transfer the chicken and vegetable mixture into a small, oven-safe dish. For a top crust, you can optionally add a light layer of extra vegetables or a sprinkle of whole wheat flour mixed with water, though this recipe is designed to be open-faced for a lighter option.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes to meld the flavors and ensure everything is heated through. Serve warm.
