Ingredients

For the filling:

  • Cooking spray
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
  • 4 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 medium carrots, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 1/2 pound green beans, trimmed and chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 1/2 cups lowfat milk
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup peas, thawed if frozen
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves

For the biscuit crust:

  • 1/2 cup whole-wheat flour
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1/2 cup lowfat buttermilk

Directions

To make the filling: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a large shallow casserole dish, or 6 individual casserole dishes with cooking spray.

Season the chicken with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 2 teaspoons of the oil over a medium-high heat. Add the chicken to the pan and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Transfer the chicken with its juices to a bowl. .

Add 2 more teaspoons of oil to the same pan and heat it over a medium-high heat. Add the onions, carrots and celery and cook until the vegetables begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the green beans, garlic and remaining salt and pepper and cook for 2 minute more. Add the milk. Stir the flour into the broth until it is completely dissolved and add to the pan. Cook, stirring, until the mixture comes to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 2 minutes more. Return the chicken with its juices back to the pan. Add the peas and thyme and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Spoon the mixture into the baking dish or individual dishes.

To make the crust: Put the whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a food processor and pulse a few times to combine. Add the butter and pulse about 12 times, or until pebble sized pieces are formed.

Add the buttermilk then oil to the food processor and pulse until just moistened. Do not over mix. Drop the batter in 6 mounds on top of the chicken mixture (1 mound on each individual dish, if using) spreading the batter out slightly. Bake until filling is bubbling and the biscuit topping is golden brown, about 20 minutes.

    I added 1 stalk parsnips, and a can of corn to add more veggies. I used canned green beans because that is what I had on hand. I also used bisquick for the biscuits because I didn't have time (or whole wheat flour or buttermilk. I also added a dash of cayanne and Lowry's season salt to give it more flavor. I don't like thyme AT ALL so I added a sprinkling of dried rosemary instead. I totally forgot the chicken while I was prepping all the veggies, but my hubby and I didn't miss it at all! Also, I used skim milk and bullion, not stock because that is what we keep in the house and it still came out creamy and delicious.

    The only thing different I did was to add a quarter cup of yellow corn. It gave a great color to the pot pie and add some extra sweetness. It was terrific.

    Delicious and super easy. To save on calories I poached the chicken breast instead of frying it in oil. I then added extra garlic, 1 tsp dried thyme, and fresh rosemary for more flavor since most reviewers said the recipe was bland. I also added fresh parsley into the biscuit mixture. I had to adjust the baking time to about 30 minutes, but in the end it turned out great. I can't believe this is a "healthy" dish. Will definitely make again.
