Recipes | Chicken Pot Pie

<div>More often than not, when people think about pot pie they think unhealthy, time consuming and boring.  Not true.  My recipe is filled with vegetables and lean protein.  By roasting the ingredients and using a small puff pastry top instead of an entire pie crust, this recipe has a lot of flavor and minimal fat and calories.</div><div><br /></div><div>Chicken Pot Pie with Puff Pastry (4 servings) :</div><div><br /></div><div>2 Split Chicken Breasts - $3</div><div>4 Carrots - chopped into 1 inch pieces - $1</div><div>1 pound of Red Potatoes - cut into 1 inch pieces - $1</div><div>2 tablespoons of Olive Oil </div><div>3 tablespoons of Butter</div><div>3 tablespoons of Flour </div><div>1 cup of Chicken Stock - $1</div><div>1 cup of Frozen Peas - $1.50</div><div>1 package of Puff Pastry (I use Pepperage Farm's in the Freezer section) - $4</div><div>Salt & Pepper</div><div><br /></div><div>Total - $11.50</div><div>Calories per serving (approx) - 400</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj98FNbUnQMOpBN75MudssyD0CAJ_wNFE1qdklSoFIlD3c0o7ZuXrcn8sKHFRxNBaL908_f-yylhPA0f12lUoKq08bv51cUrvIvjKubbVUG-jJ1RC6O3Yzx5fWslIQagk-Get9RSugerPA/s1600-h/Chicken+Pot+Pie+1.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384700928896114802" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj98FNbUnQMOpBN75MudssyD0CAJ_wNFE1qdklSoFIlD3c0o7ZuXrcn8sKHFRxNBaL908_f-yylhPA0f12lUoKq08bv51cUrvIvjKubbVUG-jJ1RC6O3Yzx5fWslIQagk-Get9RSugerPA/s400/Chicken+Pot+Pie+1.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 233px;" /></a><br /><div>Start by placing the chicken breasts on one side of a baking sheet and the carrots and potatoes on the other side.  Drizzle everything with olive oil, then sprinkle generously with salt & pepper.  Roast for 20-25 minutes in the oven at 425 degrees.<br /><div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoKDDsHTWPwiTz_C7Q_wlNtOhCqxo4PJO-qWIs2lbicHBoqe9Zrn_VZGnlSkUdX5O7mZjxHmebHk7kaPQkEANTgx5DUwK2aceGI9jFA1Yw49a_RekfV7n1J3qpDbWzOGHAkQ5i5vQzPOw/s1600-h/Chicken+Pot+Pie+2.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384699749104308546" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoKDDsHTWPwiTz_C7Q_wlNtOhCqxo4PJO-qWIs2lbicHBoqe9Zrn_VZGnlSkUdX5O7mZjxHmebHk7kaPQkEANTgx5DUwK2aceGI9jFA1Yw49a_RekfV7n1J3qpDbWzOGHAkQ5i5vQzPOw/s400/Chicken+Pot+Pie+2.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 284px;" /></a><br /></div><div>In the meantime, make the white sauce buy melting the butter in a large shallow saucepan.  On low heat, add the flour while stirring.  After the butter and flour mixture have combined, add in the chicken stock - whisking until smooth.   Done.  You've just made a white sauce!
