Ingredients

  • 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves – cubed
  • 1 ½ cups sliced carrots
  • 1 cup frozen green peas
  • ½ cup sliced celery
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1/3 cup chopped onion
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon celery seed
  • 1 ¾ cups chicken broth
  • 2/3 cup low-fat (1%) milk
  • ¼ cup chopped Italian parsley
  • 2 (9 inch) unbaked whole wheat pie crust

Directions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

Step 2
Combine chicken, carrots, peas, and celery in a saucepan. Cover with water. Boil until chicken is no longer pink in the middle and vegetables are fork tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat, drain, and set aside.

Step 3
Cook and stir onions in butter in a saucepan over medium heat, until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in flour, salt, pepper, and celery seed. Slowly stir in chicken broth and milk. Simmer over medium-low heat until thick, about 5 minutes. Stir in parsley and remove from heat. Set aside.

Step 4
Place chicken mixture in bottom pie crust; pour hot liquid mixture over. Cover with top crust, seal edges, and cut away excess dough. Make several small slits in top to allow steam to escape.

Step 5
Bake in preheated oven until pie is golden brown and filling is bubbly, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.
