Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon ground sage
¼ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter
⅓ cup cold nonfat milk
1 cup chopped onions
2 cloves garlic
1 cup chicken broth
1 ½ cups potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 ½ cups carrots, chopped
1 cup frozen mixed vegetables, thawed
1 (10.75 ounce) can reduced fat cream of chicken soup
1 ½ tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups cooked, cubed chicken breast meat
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
½ teaspoon dried basil
½ teaspoon dried thyme
salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
To Make Crust: Mix together 1 cup flour, baking powder, sage, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cut in butter or margarine until mixture is crumbly. Stir in milk. Gather dough into a ball, wrap in plastic, and allow to rest in refrigerator.
Spray a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Cook onions and garlic together over medium heat until soft, about 5 minutes. Add broth, potatoes, carrots, and mixed vegetables. Simmer partially covered for 12 minutes. Potatoes should be slightly undercooked.
In a small bowl, combine cream of chicken soup and flour. Mix until smooth. Add mixture to vegetables along with chicken, parsley, basil, thyme, salt, and pepper. Pour mixture into a 2 quart casserole dish.
Roll out dough to fit top of casserole dish. Lay dough over filling and prick with a fork several times.
Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes, until crust is golden brown. Allow to sit 5 minutes before serving.
