have not had dinner yet, but saw the chicken pot pie dinner and thought i would share this makeover
Chicken pot pie is a homey, family favorite. The rich, creamy sauce and tender chunks of chicken make this a perfect comfort food. Unfortunately, that rich sauce is often made with heavy cream and the flaky crust depends on a whole lot of butter. this is a lighter version of this cold-weather favorite that we could enjoy without the guilt. With 1/3 of the cholesterol, 23 fewer grams of total fat, and half the saturated fat and sodium of the original, this is a recipe we feel good about cozying up to.
make changes by
Replacing heavy cream with nonfat buttermilk
Adding more vegetables to the recipe
Reducing the amount of butter used and eliminating the shortening completely
Using fresh herbs instead of dried for more flavor, with less fat
Making the crust with cornmeal for a richer flavor
before makeover
2 pounds boneless chicken thighs, skinned
3 cups chicken broth
2 medium onions
4 green onions, sliced
10 ounces mushrooms
3 large carrots
1 package frozen peas
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
5 tablespoons butter
½ teaspoon dried thyme
¼ cup chopped parsley
½ cup heavy cream
¼ teaspoon pepper
1 egg
2 cups flour
¼ cup vegetable shortening
¼ cup cheddar cheese
after makeover
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
3 cups chicken stock
1 small onion
1/8 pound mushrooms
1 small carrot
1/2 cup turnips
1 medium russet potato
1/2 cup frozen peas
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh thyme
1 1/4 cups flour
1/2 cup cornmeal
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/3 cup nonfat buttermilk
2 tablespoons sugar
