Chicken Pot Pie

Low Calorie Version

6 servings

Hands-on Time: 35m

Total Time: 1hr 10m

Ingredients

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 TBL olive oil

2 onions, chopped

4 carrots, diced

3 TBLs all-purpose flour

1/2 cup dry white wine

2 cups 1 percent milk

1 10-ounce package frozen peas

1 TBL fresh thyme

kosher salt and black pepper

1 9-inch store-bought piecrust, thawed if frozen

Directions

1. Heat oven to 400° F. Cook the chicken in a pot of simmering water until cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes; let cool, then shred.

2. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and carrots and cook, stirring, until they begin to soften, 6 to 8 minutes (do not let them darken). Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.

3. Add the wine and cook until evaporated, about 5 minutes. Add the milk and simmer until the sauce thickens, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the chicken, peas, thyme, ¾ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Transfer to a shallow 1½- to 2-quart baking dish.

4. Lay the crust on top, pressing to seal. Cut several vents in the crust. Place the pot pie on a baking sheet and bake until bubbling and the crust is golden, 30 to 35 minutes.

Who needs butter? This pie gets its velvety richness from olive oil, wine, low-fat milk, and a double dose of vegetables.
