INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Mixed Vegetables (Carrots, Peas, Celery)
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Flour
1/3 cup Low-Fat Milk
1/2 cup Low-Sodium Chicken Broth
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a non-stick pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper, then sear for 3-4 minutes per side until lightly browned.
Remove the chicken from the pan and dice it into bite-sized pieces.
In the same pan, add the mixed vegetables and sauté for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender.
Sprinkle the whole wheat flour over the vegetables and stir to coat evenly. This will help thicken the sauce.
Slowly add the low-sodium chicken broth and low-fat milk, stirring continuously until a light, creamy sauce forms.
Return the diced chicken to the pan and combine well, ensuring the sauce lightly coats the ingredients.
Transfer the mixture into a small baking dish. Optionally, you can top with extra whole wheat dough rolled thin and cut into strips for a crust effect.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the top is set and lightly golden. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
Let cool slightly before serving to enjoy this balanced, hearty pot pie.
