Lightened-Up Creamy Chicken Pot Pie with Root Vegetables
Savor a comforting twist on a classic pot pie with tender chunks of chicken breast and a medley of root vegetables simmered in a light, creamy sauce. This dish delivers warming flavors and a satisfying balance of textures without the heaviness of a traditional crust.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1 small Carrot
1 small Parsnip
1 stalk Celery
1/4 cup Frozen Peas
1/2 cup Low-Fat Milk
2 tbsp Low-Fat Greek Yogurt
1 tbsp Whole Wheat Flour
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 cup Low-Sodium Chicken Broth
1/2 tsp Dried Thyme
Pinch Black Pepper
Pinch Salt
PREPARATION
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Dice the carrot, parsnip, and celery into uniform pieces.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté the chicken pieces until lightly browned on all sides, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the chopped vegetables to the skillet and cook for an additional 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Sprinkle in the whole wheat flour and stir well to coat the chicken and vegetables evenly.
Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth, low-fat milk, and add the dried thyme. Stir continuously to avoid lumps.
Allow the mixture to come to a gentle simmer, then add the frozen peas. Let simmer for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens and the vegetables are tender.
Remove from heat and stir in the low-fat Greek yogurt for a creamy finish. Adjust seasoning with a pinch more salt and pepper if needed.
Serve warm, enjoying a lighter take on the classic chicken pot pie.
