Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 bone-in, skin-on chicken breast halves (12 to 14 ounces each) Coarse salt and ground pepper 3 tablespoons olive oil 4 carrots, sliced 1/4 inch thick 1 medium onion, finely chopped 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme leaves 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 2 1/2 cups low-fat (1%) milk 1 package (10 ounces) frozen peas, thawed 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 6 phyllo sheets (each 12 by 17 inches), thawed

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place chicken on a rimmed baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of breast (avoiding bone) registers 165 degrees, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool slightly; discard skin and bones. Shred meat, and set aside.

While chicken is roasting, heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large saucepan over medium. Add carrots, onion, and thyme; season with salt and pepper, and cook until carrots are crisp-tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Add flour, and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Gradually add milk, stirring until smooth. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture comes to a simmer and thickens.

Remove from heat; stir in peas, lemon juice, and chicken, and season with salt and pepper. Pour filling into a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate.

Stack phyllo on a work surface. Using a paring knife, cut out an 11-inch circle from the stack; discard trimmings. Stack 2 circles on work surface, and brush gently with 1 teaspoon oil; repeat with remaining circles and oil. Place phyllo stack over filling, and press down about 1/2 inch from the edge so phyllo fits inside rim of pie plate. Bake until golden and bubbling, 20 to 25 minutes. Let potpie cool 15 minutes before serving.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       12/11/2016   I've made this many times--love it! My tip is to use spray oil or spray butter instead of brushing oil on. Faster, easier!

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       10/25/2013   Great pot pie, with peas halved, diced potatoes and seasonings added! But. . .phyllo is loaded with butter; doesn't this defeat the purpose of this being a light recipe?!?  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       04/02/2013   This recipe is interesting because of the low fat bechamel sauce, made with olive oil instead of butter. I personally think that 10 oz. (300 g) of peas is way to much... I reduced this by half and added small potato cubes. I added more flavor with 1 garlic clove and the juice from the chicken... Bon appé[filtered]!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 4 stars       08/23/2012   This was pretty good, but a little bland. I used skim milk and a mix of veggies (peas, a little corn, and green beans) and one sheet less phyllo. I used nonstick spray on the phyllo and cut down on the oil to save calories, and added more salt, pepper, & thyme to the roux. The portion sizes are quite generous and filling, and my portions came out to about 330 calories per serving. I'd make this again, but perhaps try more herbs or hot sauce in the roux.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       09/29/2011   This recipe is really good. I have tweaked it by seasoning the chicken with oregano and parsley and grilling the chicken breasts. Then I don't put as many peas in as the recipe calls for. When I cooked it for a church dinner everyone loved it and the dish was gone before I could even get some to eat.
