INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 medium Carrot
1 stalk Celery
1/4 cup Frozen Green Peas
1/4 medium Onion
1 clove Garlic
1/2 cup Low-Sodium Chicken Broth
1/4 cup Low-Fat Milk
1 tbsp Whole Wheat Flour
1/2 tsp Olive Oil
2 tbsp Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1/2 tsp Dried Thyme
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Dice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Chop the carrot, celery, onion, and mince the garlic.
In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion and garlic until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Add the chopped carrot and celery, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
Stir in the whole wheat flour and dried thyme, then gradually add the low-sodium chicken broth and low-fat milk, stirring continuously until the mixture starts to thicken.
Mix in the chicken pieces and frozen peas. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Allow the filling to simmer for about 5 minutes, ensuring the chicken is cooked through.
Transfer the filling into a small oven-safe baking dish. Sprinkle the whole wheat breadcrumbs evenly on top as a crunchy topping.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes until the topping is lightly toasted and the filling is bubbly.
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, then serve warm.
