INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1 medium Carrot
2 stalks Celery
0.5 cup Peas
1 small Onion
1 tbsp Whole Wheat Flour
0.25 cup Low-Fat Milk
0.5 cup Chicken Broth
1 serving Whole Wheat Crust
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion, chopped carrot, and celery. Sauté until vegetables begin to soften, about 4-5 minutes.
Add diced chicken breast and cook until lightly browned on the outside. Stir in the peas and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Sprinkle in the whole wheat flour and stir well to coat the chicken and vegetables. Gradually add the chicken broth and low-fat milk, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Allow the mixture to simmer and thicken, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Transfer the chicken and vegetable filling into a small baking dish. Top evenly with the whole wheat crust, pressing it lightly to adhere. If desired, make a few small slits on the crust to allow steam to escape.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust turns golden brown and the filling is bubbling gently.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
