INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 medium Carrot
1 small Parsnip
1/4 medium Onion
1 clove Garlic
1 tbsp Whole Wheat Flour
1/2 cup Low Sodium Chicken Broth
2 tbsp Light Cream Cheese
1 tsp Fresh Thyme
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Dice the chicken breast into small bite-sized pieces. Season lightly with salt (if desired) and a pinch of thyme.
Chop the carrot, parsnip, onion, and garlic finely.
In a skillet over medium heat, lightly sauté the onion and garlic until translucent. Then add the diced chicken and cook until just browned.
Stir in the chopped carrots and parsnips. Sprinkle the whole wheat flour over and cook for another minute to form a light roux.
Pour in the low sodium chicken broth while stirring to avoid lumps. Mix in the light cream cheese and remaining thyme until the sauce becomes creamy and slightly thickened.
Transfer the mixture into a small baking dish. Cover with foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, until vegetables are tender and flavors meld.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
