Healthified Chicken Pot Pie
Makes 4 servings
4 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, trimmed, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
1 cup sliced shallots
1 10-or 12-oz bad frozen mixed veggies (2-2-1/2 cups), thawed
1/4 tsp dried thyme
2 cups reduced sodium chicken broth, divided
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
6 sheets – 9×14 phyllo dough, defrosted (follow package directions)
Cooking spray
Preheat oven to 425 degrees
Heat 2 tsp oil in a large non-stick skillet over med-high heat. Add chicken , cook, stirring often, until it turns white 2-3 min. Remove to a plate. Add the remaining 2 tsp oil and shallots, reduce heat to med and cook, stirring, until slightly softened, 2-3 minutes. Stir in veggies and thyme, cook, stirring occasionally, until hot, 2-4 minutes. Pour in 1-3/4 cup broth and bring to a boil. Whisk the remaining 1/4 cup broth and cornstarch in a small bowl and add to the pan. Return to a boil and cook until thickened, about 1 minute. Off the heat, stir in the chicken, sour cream, salt and pepper. Divide the mixture among four 12-oz overproof baking dishes (I used foil ones).
Make 2 stacks of 3 sheets of phyllo each, coating each sheet lightly with cooking spray before stacking. Cut the stacks in half crosswise. Drape one half over each baking dish. Tuck in any overhanging edges.
Set the potpies on a baking sheet. Bake until the tops are golden and the filling bubbly, 18-20 minutes.
