INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 medium Carrot
1 medium Parsnip
1 stalk Celery
1 small Onion
2 cloves Garlic
1/2 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
1 tbsp Whole Wheat Flour
1/2 cup Light Chicken Broth
2 tbsp Light Greek Yogurt
Olive Oil Spray
1 serving Whole Wheat Dough (for crust)
1 tsp Mixed Dried Herbs
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Lightly spray a non-stick skillet with olive oil spray. Sauté the diced onion, minced garlic, and chopped celery over medium heat until fragrant and softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Add chopped carrot and parsnip to the skillet. Continue to sauté until the vegetables just begin to soften, roughly 4-5 minutes.
Stir in the diced chicken breast and cook until lightly browned on all sides, ensuring it's nearly cooked through.
Sprinkle the whole wheat flour over the mixture and stir well to coat the ingredients evenly. This will help thicken the sauce.
Pour in the light chicken broth and unsweetened almond milk, stirring continuously. Allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Remove the skillet from heat and gently fold in the light Greek yogurt and mixed dried herbs. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Transfer the creamy chicken and vegetable mixture into a small, oven-safe baking dish or individual ramekins.
Roll out the whole wheat dough on a lightly floured surface to form a round crust that will cover the dish. Place the dough over the filling and trim the excess, then cut a few slits for steam to escape.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
