{Macro Friendly Chicken Pot Pie}

{Macro Friendly Chicken Pot Pie}


Hello cupcakes!

Who likes Chicken Pot Pie? I have a healthier version to share with you. 

The Macros for 1/7 of the recipe:
259 calories, 5.1 g fat, 18.2 g carbs, & 34.6 g protein

Here's what you need for the filling:
1-1/2 lb of cooked chicken breast, shredded
1 cup of almond milk
salt & pepper to taste
1 cup of chicken broth
1 pkg. of frozen beans (mine had 4 servings in the bag)
1 pkg. of frozen mixed vegetables (again, 4 servings per bag)

Here's what you need for the "biscuit" part:
1 cup of almond milk
1 egg
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp garlic powder



Directions

-Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease an 8X8 pan
-I cooked my chicken in a skillet and then saved the juices for the gravy
-In the skillet, add 2 T of arrowroot flour, 1 cup of almond milk, 1 cup of chicken broth, salt, and pepper
-Continue to stir the gravy and add more arrowroot flour as needed to make the gravy
-Once the gravy is thickened, add the shredded chicken to the gravy & stir to combine
-Next, stir in the frozen veggies and cook until the veggies are no longer frozen
-Scoop the filling mixture into the greased pan
-Next, make the biscuits in a separate bowl
-Add all of the biscuit ingredients to the bowl and stir to combine
-Add the biscuit batter to the top of the filling in an even layer
-Place the pan in the oven and cook for 15-20 minutes or until the biscuit layer is finished cooking
-Store the leftovers in the refrigerator

Yields: 7 servings


I prepped this during the weekend and I will be having it all week!


ENJOY!
