INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1.5 cups Cauliflower (chopped)
1 small Carrot (diced)
1/4 cup Frozen Peas
1/4 cup Skim Milk
1 tbsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Whole Wheat Flour
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Steam the cauliflower florets until soft, then blend or mash to form a smooth puree. This will serve as the crust base.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat and sear the chicken until golden on both sides and cooked through. Remove from skillet and dice into bite-sized pieces.
In the same skillet, add the diced carrot and peas. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender.
Sprinkle the whole wheat flour over the vegetables and stir to coat evenly. Slowly pour in the skim milk, stirring constantly to create a light creamy sauce that thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper.
Fold in the diced chicken into the vegetable mixture.
Pour the mixture into an ovenproof dish. Spread the cauliflower puree evenly over the top to form a crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the top is set and lightly golden.
Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving to enjoy the savory, creamy flavors of this unique pot pie.
