Skinny Chicken Pot Pies

I LOVE Pot Pies, I think they are one of the greatest food inventions ever!  Think about it, an entire meal under a yummy, fluffy crust 🙂

In my quest for recipes/meals that are tasty, healthy, and require minimal time slaving away in my kitchen, I came across a website called Eat Yourself Skinny (see link below).  Their pot pie recipe simply MUST be shared!

This pot pie will leave you feeling happy, satisfied and guilt free!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup fat-free half and half
• 1 cup fat-free chicken broth
• 3 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp. poultry seasoning
• 1 tsp. thyme
• 2 cups roasted skinless chicken breast, cubed
• 1 (10 oz) package frozen mixed veggies, thawed
• 4 green onions, chopped
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1/4 tsp. pepper
• 1 can (7.5 oz) refrigerated reduced-fat biscuits

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

In a medium saucepan, whisk together half and half, chicken broth, flour, poultry seasoning and thyme.

Bring to a boil then reduce heat to a simmer, continuing to whisk for about 4 minutes. Once mixture has thickened, remove from heat and stir in chicken, mixed veggies, green onions, salt and pepper.

Cover to keep warm and set aside.

Coat 5 (6 oz) ramekins (bowl) with nonstick cooking spray.

On a lightly floured surface, roll out 2 biscuits per ramekin into a 4-inch round. Evenly fill ramekins with chicken mixture and top each with a rolled out biscuit, make sure dough covers the entire chicken mixture.

Pierce 4 holes in the top of the biscuits to vent and place in oven.

Bake pies for about 12 minutes, until filling is bubbly and biscuits are golden. Enjoy!
