INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 medium Carrot
1 small Parsnip
1 stalk Celery
1/4 cup Green Peas
1/4 cup Low-Fat Milk
1 tbsp Whole Wheat Flour
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/4 cup Chicken Broth
1/2 tsp Dried Thyme
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Cut the chicken breast into small bite-sized pieces, season with salt and pepper, and sauté in the skillet until lightly browned. Remove and set aside.
Dice the carrot, parsnip, and celery into uniform pieces. In the same skillet, add these root vegetables and sauté for about 4-5 minutes until they start to soften.
Sprinkle the whole wheat flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat evenly. This will help thicken the sauce.
Slowly pour in the chicken broth and low-fat milk while stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
Return the chicken to the pan and add the green peas and dried thyme. Simmer the mixture for an additional 5 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and the sauce has thicken slightly.
Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve warm as a hearty, light pot pie-style dish perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
