Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Healthy Low-Fat Chicken Pot Pie.
Step 1
Begin by placing the chicken breasts in a pot, covering them with water, and seasoning with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Step 2
Bring the pot to a boil, then remove it from the heat, cover, and allow the chicken to cool in the pot.
Step 3
Meanwhile, in a separate large pot, add diced potatoes and cover them with salted water.
Step 4
Bring this pot to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer until the potatoes are nearly fork-tender, which should take about 15 minutes.
Step 5
Once done, drain the potatoes and set them aside.
Step 6
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 7
In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat.
Step 8
Add chopped onion and celery, sautéing for 5 to 8 minutes until they soften.
Step 9
Stir in frozen mixed vegetables and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Step 10
Sprinkle flour over the vegetable mixture, cooking for about 30 seconds while stirring constantly.
Step 11
Gradually pour in the chicken broth, bringing the mixture to a boil.
Step 12
Allow it to cook until the broth thickens, then gently fold in the cooked potatoes.
Step 13
Remove the cooled chicken from the pot, discard the bones, and chop the meat into bite-sized pieces.
Step 14
Add the chicken to the vegetable mixture, adjusting the seasoning with more salt and pepper if desired.
Step 15
Press one pie pastry into a pie pan, then pour the chicken and vegetable filling into the crust.
Step 16
Cover with the second pie pastry, crimping the edges to seal tightly, ensuring no delicious juices escape during baking.
Step 17
Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for about 45 minutes, or until the crust turns a beautiful golden brown and is fully cooked.
Step 18
Enjoy the comforting aroma of homemade chicken pot pie as it fills your kitchen, a perfect dish for any gathering or cozy night in.
