Lightened-Up Creamy Chicken and Root Vegetable Pot Pie
Enjoy a lighter twist on the classic pot pie featuring tender chicken breast, a medley of roasted root vegetables and a silky, creamy sauce brightened with low‐fat milk. Topped with a modest layer of reduced-fat puff pastry, this dish delivers comforting flavors without excess calories.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Mixed Root Vegetables
1/4 cup Low-Fat Milk
1 tbsp Whole Wheat Flour
1 oz Reduced-Fat Puff Pastry
1/4 cup diced Onion
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1 tsp Dried Thyme
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, sear the chicken until it’s golden on both sides, then remove and chop into bite-sized pieces.
In the same skillet, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until translucent and fragrant.
Add the mixed root vegetables to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes until they begin to soften.
Sprinkle the whole wheat flour over the vegetables and stir to coat. Slowly pour in the low-fat milk, stirring constantly to form a light creamy sauce. Add the dried thyme and adjust seasoning as needed.
Return the chopped chicken to the skillet and let the filling simmer for a couple of minutes, allowing all the flavors to meld.
Transfer the filling into a small oven-safe dish. Top the filling with the reduced-fat puff pastry, gently pressing down around the edges.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes until the pastry is puffed and lightly golden.
Let cool for a few minutes before serving to allow the pot pie to set.
