Description

One Marie Callendar’s Chicken Pot Pie (a mere 10 ounces) contains 510 calories and 30 grams of fat!!! What’s IN that thing? Might as well eat half a stick of butter.

Care to lighten your load a bit with a more filling option? Try mine! Not a true 80, but much lighter and EXTREMELY tasty. You won’t miss a thing. Except for extra junk in your trunk.

Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons Olive Oil
  • 12 ounces, weight Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast, Cubed
  • ⅓ cups White Onion, Chopped
  • 1 clove Garlic, Pressed And Minced
  • ¾ cups Carrots, Chopped
  • ½ cups Water, Divided
  • 1-½ cup Asparagus - Trimmed And Cut Into 1-inch Pieces
  • ½ cups Raw White Mushrooms, Sliced
  • 1 cup Skim Milk
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoons Fresh Ground Black Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Parsley
  • ¼ cups Flour
  • 1-¼ cup Chicken Broth
  • ½ cups Reduced Fat Sour Cream
  • 3 whole Sheets Phyllo Dough, Thawed If Frozen

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large nonstick skillet heat 1 teaspoon oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken chunks and brown them. Remove chicken from pan, set aside.

Heat remaining 1 teaspoon oil in pan, and add onions, garlic, and carrots. Add 3 Tablespoons water and saute until vegetables begin to soften, approximately 4 minutes. Add asparagus and mushrooms and continue to cook 2-3 minutes. Add milk, salt, pepper, and parsley. Stir flour into mixture until dissolved. Add chicken broth and heat until mixture comes to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and add sour cream. Stir occasionally until thickened slightly, 10 minutes.

Unroll phyllo dough and cut sheets into quarters. Spoon the filling mixture into 4 individual 12 ounce ramekins (oven safe). Place phyllo dough, one layer at a time until it’s 3 layers thick (alternating directions), onto each ramekin. Tuck in dough around the edges. Brush top layer lightly with remaining olive oil.

Place ramekins on a baking sheet and bake until filling is bubbly and phyllo dough is lightly browned, 25 minutes. Allow to cool for 10 minutes prior to serving.

One side note: the recipe doesn’t say when to add the sour cream so I added it towards the end and let it simmer for a while.
This recipe is DELICIOUS!! I made it one night for some friends of mine (all guys) and they all praised it and wished there were seconds (I’ll double it next time!).
