Chicken Pot Pie

Chicken Pot Pie

This is a family favorite !! I am a fan of quick recipes that don't require a TON of ingredients that I can whip up!! I will make this one up the night before so the next day I just need to pop it in the oven !!

Ingredients:
2 TBSP grapeseed oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp fresh ground pepper
1 1/2 cup no salt added chicken broth
2 TBSP whole wheat flour
4 medium carrots (cut into 1/4 inch slices)
4 medium celery stalks (cut into 1/4 inch slices)
2 or 3 cooked chicken breasts , cubed
1/4 tsp thyme leaves
6 sheet phyllo dough (whole wheat preferred) OR Clean pie crust (** See additional recipe)

Preheat over to 425
Heat 1 TBSP oil in medium saucepan. Add onions, garlic, salt and pepper stirring occasionaly until the onions are translucent. Stir in 1 cup broth. In a small bowl, whisk together remaining 1/2 cup of broth and flour and gradually whisk the mixture in the saucepan. Bring to a boil, still whisking. reduce to a simmer and cook 5 minutes, whisking occasionally.

Add Carrots and celery and bring back to a boil. Add chicken and heat to boil. Remove from heat. Add thyme ; allow to cool. Transfer to a 9" deep pie pan.

Stack phyllo and cut into 11 inch, Brush 2 circles, 1 tsp oil' repeat with remaining circles and re stack. Place stacked phyllo on top of pie filling. Press down slightly so phyllo fits inside the rim of the pie plate. OR use the Clean Eating Pie Crust - http://www.thegraciouspantry.com/how-to-make-clean-eating-pie-crust/
