Healthy Chicken and Vegetable Pot Pie
Savor a comforting pot pie that features tender lean chicken breast and a medley of colorful vegetables enveloped in a light, creamy sauce. Topped with a delicate, whole wheat biscuit crust, this dish offers warmth and wholesome flavor in every bite.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup diced Carrots
1/2 cup Green Peas
1/2 cup diced Celery
1/4 cup diced Onion
1/3 cup Low-Fat Milk (filling)
2 tbsp Whole Wheat Flour (roux)
1/2 cup Chicken Broth
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 tbsp Whole Wheat Flour (crust)
1 tbsp Low-Fat Milk (crust)
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables are softened and the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the 2 tablespoons of whole wheat flour to create a light roux. Cook for about 1 minute, stirring continuously.
Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and 1/3 cup of low-fat milk, stirring to combine smoothly. Allow the sauce to simmer and thicken slightly.
Add the chicken pieces and green peas to the saucepan. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and let the mixture simmer for another 5 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
Meanwhile, prepare the crust topping by mixing 2 tablespoons whole wheat flour with 1 tablespoon low-fat milk in a small bowl until a thick batter forms.
Transfer the chicken and vegetable filling into a small oven-safe dish. Drop dollops of the crust mixture evenly over the top, gently spreading it to cover as much of the filling as possible.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the topping is set and lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
