INGREDIENTS
150 grams Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Low-Fat Milk
1 tablespoon Whole Wheat Flour
1 cup Mixed Vegetables
1/2 cup Chicken Broth
1 teaspoon Light Butter
Salt & Pepper to taste
1/2 teaspoon Dried Thyme
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. In a skillet over medium heat, melt the light butter and sauté the chicken until it is cooked through and lightly golden, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken and shred or dice it.
In the same skillet, sprinkle in the whole wheat flour and stir to make a roux. Gradually whisk in the low-fat milk and chicken broth to create a smooth, creamy sauce. Allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Stir in the mixed vegetables and shredded chicken, adding dried thyme, and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Transfer the chicken and vegetable mixture into a baking dish. For extra texture, optionally top with a light whole wheat crust or puff pastry, then bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until heated through and the top is lightly browned.
Serve warm and enjoy your lightened-up, creamy chicken pot pie.
