Made this a few weeks ago and about pissed myself over it. (I used homemade pie crust because I'm a lunatic... )


1 slice smoked bacon, chopped
1 1/2 cups cubed red potato (about 8 ounces)
1 cup chopped carrot $
6 skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces $
3 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 cups sliced leeks (about 2)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 cups fat-free, lower-sodium chicken broth
1/2 (14.1-ounce) package refrigerated pie dough
1 tablespoon fat-free milk $
1 large egg white $


1. Preheat oven to 450°.
2. Cook bacon in a large Dutch oven over medium heat until almost crisp, stirring frequently. Increase heat to medium-high. Add potato and carrot to pan; sauté 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add chicken; sauté 3 minutes or until lightly browned, stirring occasionally. Stir in flour and next 3 ingredients (through pepper); sauté 1 minute, stirring frequently.
3. Slowly add broth to pan, stirring constantly; bring to a boil. Cook 2 minutes or until slightly thick, stirring occasionally. Spoon mixture into a 1 1/2-quart glass or ceramic baking dish. Top with dough, folding under and pressing down on edges to seal.
4. Combine milk and egg white; brush mixture over top of dough. Cut small slits in dough to vent. Bake at 450° for 30 minutes or until crust is golden. Let stand 10 minutes.

(I should add that I included garden herbs in mine - rosemary, thyme, and parsley. I definitely think that adding good herbs will do wonders for a bare-bones low calorie recipe.)


Here's a pic of leftovers!!!

    I'm actually kind of poking fun at the recipe in the main forums where a girl posted a cheesy chicken casserole that used all kinds of low fat pre-made ingredients. This recipe is far superior.

    This actually sounds amazing. But I'm guessing it's not 298 calories when I eat the whole damn thing.

    Man this sounds so good. We don't have pre made pie crust on the island, but maybe I can substitute something else for it. Or *make* pie crust :P

    Pie crust is pretty quick and easy! Just make sure you make it ahead of time because it really does need to chill before you roll it.

    ERMAHGERD, this sounds amazing. I might just make it like a stew, since gluten-free pie crusts are a huge ripoff and I can't be arsed to make my own.

    thanks for sharing...this is SUPER helpful, my son is allergic to cow's milk and I am always hesitant to try recipes that no one I know has tried! We end up throwing a lot of food away because his milk free recipes that I try are a bust!
