healthy chicken pot pie 1

INGREDIENTS

  • 3 cups fat-free chicken broth
  • 1 1/2 cups frozen green peas, thawed (pleeeeze don’t use canned peas!)
  • 1 cup (1/2-inch) cubed baking potato (I leave the peel on, but do as you please)
  • 1 cup (1/2-inch) cubed sweet potato (again, I like the peel for the extra fiber, but peel them if you choose)
  • 1 cup (1/2-inch) cubed celeriac (celery root)
  • 1 cup (1/2-inch-thick)slices parsnip
  • 1 (10 ounce) package frozen pearl onions (thawed)
  • 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2/3 cup all-purpose flour (about 3 ounces) divided
  • 1 1/2 cups fat-free milk (skim milk)
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Cooking spray
  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry dough, thawed

PREPARATION

  1. Preheat oven to 400°
  2. Bring broth to a boil in a large Dutch oven.
    • Add peas and next 5 ingredients (through onions) to pan; cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 6 minutes.
    • Add chicken; cook for 5 minutes or until chicken is done.
    • Remove chicken and vegetables from broth with a slotted spoon; place in a large bowl.
  3. Increase heat to medium.
    • Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife.
    • Place all but 1 tablespoon flour in a medium bowl; gradually add milk to bowl, stirring with a whisk until well blended.
    • Add milk mixture to broth; cook for 5 minutes or until thickened, stirring frequently.
    • Stir in chicken mixture, parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper.
    • Spoon mixture into an 11×7-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray.
  4. Sprinkle remaining 1 tablespoon flour on a work surface; roll dough out and place over chicken mixture, pressing to seal at edges of dish.
    • Cut small slits into dough to allow steam to escape; coat dough lightly with cooking spray.
    • Place dish on a foil-lined baking sheet.
    • Bake at 400° for 16 minutes or until pastry is browned and filling is bubbly.
Note: You can substitute the frozen puff pastry with 2 or 3 sheets of Phyllo dough (add one quick spray of non-stick spray between sheets and to the top sheet).  Your results will be more like the pie pictured above.
