INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 medium Carrot
1 stalk Celery
1/2 cup Frozen Peas
1/2 cup Low-Fat Milk
2 tbsp Whole Wheat Flour
1 cup Low-Sodium Chicken Broth
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 tsp Dried Thyme
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat a medium saucepan over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Dice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Season lightly with salt, pepper, and dried thyme.
Add the chicken to the pan and sauté until it begins to brown, about 3-4 minutes.
Dice the carrot and celery into small cubes, then add them to the pan. Sauté for another 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.
Sprinkle the whole wheat flour over the chicken and vegetables, stirring continuously to coat evenly.
Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth and low-fat milk, stirring as you scrape the bottom of the pan to combine the flavors.
Add the frozen peas and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens and the vegetables are tender.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve warm as a comforting, lighter version of the classic chicken pot pie.
