INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast (~170g)
1 medium Carrot (~61g)
1 medium Parsnip (~80g)
2 stalks Celery (~80g total)
1/4 small Onion (~17g)
1/2 cup Low-Fat Milk (~122g)
1/2 cup Chicken Broth (~120g)
2 tbsp Whole Wheat Flour (~15g total)
1 tsp Olive Oil (~4.5g)
1 tsp Fresh Thyme
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Dice the chicken breast into bite-sized cubes. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Chop the carrot, parsnip, celery, and onion into uniform pieces.
In a medium pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion until translucent.
Add the chicken cubes and cook until lightly browned on all sides, about 4-5 minutes.
Stir in the chopped carrot, parsnip, and celery. Sprinkle the whole wheat flour over the mixture and stir well to coat.
Pour in the chicken broth and low-fat milk, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Add fresh thyme and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Allow the mixture to simmer for 5-7 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens and the vegetables begin to soften.
Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe dish and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until the top starts to form a light crust.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
