Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, diced
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 medium carrots sliced
  • 2 celery stalks chopped
  • 1 medium potato peeled and diced
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 2 tbsp whole wheat flour
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 bay leaf optional
  • Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Add diced chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook until no longer pink, about 5–7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same pot, sauté onion, carrots, and celery for 5 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  4. Sprinkle flour over veggies and stir for 1–2 minutes to create a roux.
  5. Gradually pour in chicken broth, stirring to avoid lumps. Add almond milk, potato, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaf (if using).
  6. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 15–20 minutes until potatoes are tender.
  7. Add cooked chicken and frozen peas. Cook for 3–5 minutes until peas are bright green.
  8. Remove bay leaf, adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, and garnish with parsley.
  9. Serve hot with crusty bread, if desired.

Notes

  • Don’t skip the flour: It’s key for that thick, pot pie-like texture.
  • Make it quick: Use rotisserie chicken to cut prep time.
  • Freezer-friendly: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
  • Gluten-free option: Swap flour for a cornstarch slurry (1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water).
  • Veggie boost: Add mushrooms or green beans for extra heartiness.
