You'll Love This Guilt-Free Chicken Pot Pie: Easy And Low-Calorie

Skinny Chicken Pot Pie

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups Swanson’s reduced-sodium chicken broth or your favorite
  • 1½ cups onions, chopped
  • 1 cup potato, peeled and cubed (½ inch cubes)
  • 1 cup sweet potato, peeled and cubed (½ inch cubes)
  • 1 cup carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 1 cup celery, sliced
  • 1 pound chicken breasts (boneless, skinless), cut into bite-size pieces
  • 1½ cups frozen peas (not defrosted)
  • 1½ cup reduced-fat milk
  • ½ cup plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped or 1 teaspoon dried
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
  • 1 package Pillsbury Golden Layer Flaky Biscuits (100 calories for each biscuit), see shopping tip

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large pan, add chicken broth and bring to a boil.
  • Stir in onions, potato, sweet potato, carrots, and celery. Bring back to a boil, reduce heat, and cover. Simmer for 6 minutes.
  • Add chicken pieces and frozen peas, breaking them up. Bring back to a boil, turn heat to simmer, cover, and cook for 5 minutes.
  • Place a colander into a large bowl. Pour chicken, vegetables, and broth into a colander. Add strained broth back to the pan. Set aside chicken and vegetables.
  • In a separate small bowl, add flour. Gradually add milk to the flour stirring with a whisk, until well blended.
  • Increase heat to medium with the broth. Stir in milk/flour mixture with a whisk. Cook for 5 minutes or until thickened. Stir often.
  • Add back chicken and vegetables, along with thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  • Coat an 11 x 7 baking dish (see Shopping Tip) with cooking spray and pour in the chicken stew.
  • Open the package of biscuits, separate them, and place on top of chicken stew. Line them evenly over top.
  • Place the pie on a foil-lined baking sheet and bake for 14-16 minutes until the biscuits are real golden brown. Note: If they are not browned enough for your liking, or they still don’t bake completely, remove and place biscuits on a baking sheet and continue to bake in a 350-degree oven until real golden brown, about 6-10 minutes. Or bake biscuits separately on a baking sheet while the casserole is baking. If baked separately, follow biscuit instructions.
  • To serve, spoon into each bowl and top with 1 biscuit. There will be two extra biscuits for whoever wants it.
