Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cubed
1 ½ cups sliced carrots
1 cup frozen green peas
½ cup sliced celery
3 tablespoons butter
⅓ cup chopped onion
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon celery seed
1 ¾ cups chicken broth
⅔ cup low-fat (1%) milk
¼ cup chopped Italian parsley
2 (9 inch) unbaked whole wheat pie crust

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Combine chicken, carrots, peas, and celery in a saucepan. Cover with water. Boil until chicken is no longer pink in the middle and vegetables are fork tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat, drain, and set aside.
  • Cook and stir onions in butter in a saucepan over medium heat, until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in flour, salt, pepper, and celery seed. Slowly stir in chicken broth and milk. Simmer over medium-low heat until thick, about 5 minutes. Stir in parsley and remove from heat. Set aside.
  • Place chicken mixture in bottom pie crust; pour hot liquid mixture over. Cover with top crust, seal edges, and cut away excess dough. Make several small slits in top to allow steam to escape.
  • Bake in preheated oven until pie is golden brown and filling is bubbly, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.
