Chicken Pot Pie Recipe

Diabetes Recipe
Chicken pot pie is a great comfort food for a chilly night. A light and crispy phyllo crust keeps this chicken pot pie recipe low fat and delicious.

Ingredients

    • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
    • 3 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
    • 1 1/2 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, fat trimmed, cut into bite-size pieces
    • 2 tsp olive oil
    • 2 leeks, white and light green parts only, halved lengthwise, rinsed well and thinly sliced
    • 2 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch-thick coins
    • 1/3 cup vermouth or white wine
    • 1 cup skim milk
    • 6 oz asparagus (about 10 stalks), spears cut into 1-inch pieces
    • 1 cup frozen peas, thawed
    • 2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
    • 1 tsp lemon zest
    • 1/8 tsp ground white pepper, optional
    • 6 sheets phyllo dough
    • 3 Tbsp trans fat free margarine, melted

Preparation

    • Preheat oven to 400°. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil; set aside. In a bowl, whisk 1/2 cup flour and broth; set aside. Lightly coat a large saucepan with nonstick cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until it is lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Transfer chicken to a 13 x 9-inch baking dish and set aside.
    • Return the saucepan to medium heat and add oil. Add the leeks and carrots and sauté for 4 minutes, or until leeks are tender. Add the vermouth and simmer until it has evaporated, about 1 minute. Add the flour-broth mixture, milk, and remaining 1/4 cup flour, and simmer until thick and bubbly, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken, asparagus, peas, parsley and lemon zest, and return to a simmer. Cook, stirring frequently, until the chicken is just cooked through, about 4 minutes. Season with white pepper, if using, and transfer to the baking dish.
    • Lay 1 sheet of phyllo dough on a clean work surface; cover the remaining phyllo sheets with a towel. Brush the phyllo sheet lightly with margarine. Lay the phyllo on top of the filling. Repeat with remaining phyllo sheets and margarine, loosely stacking the phyllo over the chicken filling. Transfer the pie to the prepared baking sheet and bake until the phyllo is deep golden brown and crispy, and the filling is bubbly, about 30 minutes.
