Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 2 medium Carrots, diced
- 2 Celery stalks, diced
- 1 cup Frozen peas
- 3 cups Low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 3 tablespoons Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt (optional or to taste)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Heat a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until lightly browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.
Sprinkle the whole wheat flour over the cooked vegetables and stir to coat evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Slowly pour in the chicken broth while stirring constantly to create a smooth consistency.
Add the almond milk, garlic powder, dried thyme, black pepper, and optional salt. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and add the frozen peas. Let the mixture simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly and the flavors meld together.
Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Stir in the fresh parsley just before serving.
Ladle the mixture into bowls and serve warm. Enjoy the flavor and comfort of a chicken pot pie without the crust!
