Recipe Time: Chicken Pot Pie

Hey everyone!

As promised, here's one of the recipes that Kyle and I have been enjoying! I got this recipe offline and when I initially tried it, I was not impressed. It was kind of bland and it used frozen veggies, which turned out crunchy. Despite this shortcomings, I felt as though the recipe had potential and decided to make some flavorful changes. The second attempt was incredibly delicious! It did increase the pointsplus value per serving, but the servings are generous and super yummy!  This recipe makes four servings (1/4 of casserole) and each serving is around 10 pointsplus.

Ingredients:
Olive Oil
16 oz. chicken breast tenderloins (or really any white meat chicken)
29 oz can of Veg All, drained
2 cans of Cream of Chicken w/ Herb soup (or any "Cream of" Soup)
1 cup of Heart Smart, Reduced Fat Bisquick mix
1/2 cup skim milk
1/4 cup egg substitute
2 tablespoons of Brummel and Brown (or margarine of your choice)
Mrs. Dash Onion and Herb flavor
1/2 teaspoon Parsley
1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder

Directions:
(1) Preheat Oven to 400 degrees.
(2) Cook chicken with olive oil (I usually use about a tablespoon for cooking) and season with Mrs. Dash Onion and Herb, while it cooks. Once fully cooked, cut into smaller pieces.
(3) Mix Veg All, Chicken, and two cans of soup together in a bowl. Add 1 teaspoon of Mrs. Dash Onion and Herb flavor (or more if you prefer, taste it and see!), mix well.
(4) Spray an 8x8 casserole dish with cooking spray. Pour chicken mixture in the casserole dish.
(5) Mix Bisquick, egg, and milk in a small separate bowl and pour over chicken mixture. The casserole dish will be VERY full, do not be alarmed, if it is like mine, it won't bake over.
(6) Bake for about 20 minutes.
(7) Melt the Brummel and Brown and mix in the parsley and garlic powder. Take casserole out of oven and brush the margarine/herb mixture over the top of the crust.
(8) Put casserole back in the oven and bake for another 10 minutes or until crust is golden brown.

I hope you enjoy it as much as we have!

Until next time,
BK
