Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
-
Step 2.
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in 2 tablespoons of flour, ¼ teaspoon salt, a dash of pepper, and a dash of thyme. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and becomes bubbly, about 1-2 minutes.
-
Step 3.
Gradually whisk in ½ cup chicken broth and ½ cup skim milk. Continue cooking and stirring until the sauce comes to a boil and thickens, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
-
Step 4.
Stir in 2 cups of cut-up cooked chicken, 2 diced carrots that have been steamed, and ¼ pound of green beans that have been cut into pieces and steamed. Mix until well combined.
-
Step 5.
Line a pie dish with one piecrust. Pour the chicken and vegetable filling into the crust-lined pan. Place the second piecrust on top, then pinch the edges together to seal. Cut a small hole in the center of the top crust to allow steam to escape.
-
Step 6.
Bake the pot pie in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
