Why not make a good old fashioned chicken pot pie tonight for dinner?

Chicken Pot Pies

1/2 package refrigerated pie dough (Or you can use phyllo dough)

cooking spray

1/8 tsp salt

2 tblsp flour

1 tsp sage (I used poultry seasoning)

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

8 oz. chicken breast tenders, cut into bite-sized pieces

1 1/4 cups water

1 1/2 cups frozen mixed vegetables

1 cup mushrooms (optional)

1 can condensed cream of chicken soup (I used fat free, low sodium cream of

celery soup)

 

Preheat oven to 425.

If using pie dough:

Cut 3 circles from dough; discard scraps.

Place dough circles on baking sheet coated with cooking spray.

Coat with spray; sprinkle with 1/8 tsp salt.  Pierce top with fork.

Bake at 425 for 8 minutes or until golden.

 

Combine flour, sage, 1/4 tsp salt, and pepper in zip-top bag.  Add chicken. 

Seal bag and toss to coat.

Heat large skillet coated with cooking spray over medium high heat.  Add

chicken mixture, cook 5 minutes to brown on all sides.

Stir in water, scraping pan to loosen browned bits.  Stir in vegetables,

mushrooms, and soup; bring to a boil.  Reduce heat, cook 10 minutes.

            Meanwhile, if using phyllo:

            coat each of 8 sheets of phyllo with spray; using a biscuit

cutter, cut circles to fit top of

            ramekins or bowls.

Spoon 1 cup mixture into each of 3 ramekins or bowls top each with baked pie

dough.  If topping with phyllo, bake in 425 oven for 8 minutes to brown.
