Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 carrots, sliced
• 2 celery stalks, sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
• 1/4 cup whole wheat flour
• 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 1 cup frozen corn
• 1/2 cup low-fat milk
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 package refrigerated whole wheat pie crust

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, celery, and garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
3. Add the diced chicken to the skillet and cook until no longer pink, about 8 minutes.
4. Sprinkle the flour over the chicken and vegetables. Stir to coat everything with flour.
5. Gradually add the chicken broth to the skillet, stirring constantly. Cook until the mixture thickens.
6. Stir in peas, corn, milk, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes.
7. Remove the skillet from heat and let it cool slightly.
8. Roll out the pie crust and place one crust in the bottom of a pie dish. Pour the chicken mixture into the pie dish.
9. Cover the pie dish with the remaining pie crust. Seal the edges by pressing them together with a fork.
10. Cut several slits on the top crust to allow steam to escape.
11. Place the pie dish on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
12. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
