Lighter Chicken Pot Pie
- 1 lb boneless chicken breast
- coarse salt
- fresh ground pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 4 carrots, sliced 1/4 inch thick
- 1 medium onion, chopped fine
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon dried sage
- 1/4 teaspoon dried savory (optional)
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 1/2 cups low-fat milk
- 2 cups frozen peas or 2 cups other frozen vegetables
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 6 phyllo pastry sheets (12 by 17 inches)
- Preheat the oven to 400u0b0F.
- Rub the chicken with salt and pepper and bake on a baking sheet with a raised lip for 25 minutes, or until chicken has an internal temperature of 165u0b0F.
- When the chicken is done, pull it out and set aside.
- Heat 2 Tbsp of oil in a large saucepan, and saute onions, carrots and thyme, sage, and savory until the carrots are crisp-tender, about 8 minutes.
- Add the flour to the onions and carrots and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.
- Gradually add the milk and stir, heating it until it is simmering and slightly thick.
- Shred the chicken.
- Add lemon juice, frozen vegetables, and chicken to the carrot mixture. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Pour into a 1.5-quart casserole.
- Lay out two sheets of phyllo dough on a dry surface, and brush with olive oil. Lay two more sheets on top of these, brush with olive oil, and repeat.
- Lay the layered dough onto the top of the casserole. Tuck in around the sides so the edges of the dough flare up and make a nice edge. Brush the edges with a bit more olive oil.
- Cook in the 400u0b0F oven for 20 minutes, or until browned and bubbly.
- Cool 15 minutes before serving.
