I'm definitely going to try this healthy chicken pot pie recipe here!! It has------>QUINOA!!! YAY(quinoa has all the essential amino acids (they make up proteins) you need!). This will be a tasty alternative to regular full fat chicken pot pie.

RECIPE:

Ingredients

Crust

• 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons of butter
• 3 tablespoons of cold water
• pinch of salt

Filling

• 1/2 cup onions, diced
• 1/2 cup celery, diced
• 1/2 cup carrots, diced
• 1.5 cups peas
• 1 pound of chicken breast, cooked and diced
• 1.5 cups of non fat-milk
• 1 tablespoon garlic
• salt, to taste
• pepper, to taste
• 1 teaspoon basil
• 1 teaspoon parsley
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Method

1. Preheat oven to 400F and spray 6 small ramekins with nonstick cooking spray, set aside.
2. Prepare crust: Combine flours and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture is full of pea-size lumps. With the motor running, add the water slowly, just until the dough begins to come together. Dump it onto a floured surface, knead a few times, and create a dough. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate. We followed The Yellow Table’s method.
3. Refrigerate crust for at least 30 minutes. While the crust is chilling, begin making your filling.
4. In a large pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of garlic. Add in chopped vegetables and sautee for about 5 minutes. Then add in spices. Finally add in diced chicken and cook for 2 more minutes.
5. While your filling is cooking, prepare your crust. Separate the ball of dough into 6 equal parts. Then, using your fingers or a rolling pin, roll out each piece of dough into a thin circle, the size of your ramekin.
6. Next, transfer filling into small ramekins, filling them to the top. Then cover each ramekin with dough. Use your fingers to pinch the dough onto the rim of the ramekin.
7. Bake at 400F for 25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
