INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 medium Carrot
1/2 medium Parsnip
1/4 small Onion
1/2 cup Low-Fat Milk (1%)
1/2 cup Low-Sodium Chicken Broth
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Flour
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper, to taste
1 tbsp Fresh Thyme/Parsley
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Dice the chicken breast into bite-sized cubes. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Peel and chop the carrot, parsnip, and onion into small chunks.
In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the onions until translucent, then add the carrots and parsnip. Cook for about 5 minutes until slightly softened.
Add the diced chicken to the pan and cook until the edges are lightly browned.
Sprinkle the whole wheat flour over the chicken and vegetables, stirring to coat evenly. This will help thicken the sauce later.
Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth and low-fat milk gradually, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer until it thickens, about 4-5 minutes.
Stir in the fresh herbs and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Transfer the mixture into a small oven-safe dish. For a traditional pot pie feel, you can dollop the remaining dough (if desired) or simply serve as is.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes to meld all flavors together. Serve warm.
