    List of Ingredients




    2 teaspoons margarine
    1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons fat-free reduced-sodium chicken broth, divided
    2 cups sliced mushrooms
    1 cup diced red bell pepper
    1/2 cup chopped onion
    1/2 cup chopped celery
    2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    1/2 cup fat-free half-and-half
    2 cups cubed cooked chicken breasts
    1 teaspoon minced fresh dill
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon black pepper
    2 reduced-fat refrigerated crescent rolls

    Recipe



    1. Heat margarine and 2 tablespoons chicken broth in medium saucepan until margarine is melted. Add mushrooms, bell pepper, onion and celery. Cook 7 to 10 minutes or until vegetables are tender, stirring frequently.

    2. Stir in flour; cook 1 minute. Stir in remaining 1/2 cup chicken broth; cook and stir until liquid thickens. Reduce heat and stir in half-and-half. Add chicken, dill, salt and black pepper.

    3. Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray 1-quart casserole with nonstick cooking spray. Spoon chicken mixture into prepared dish. Roll out crescent rolls and place on top of chicken mixture.*

    4. Bake pot pie 20 minutes or until topping is golden and filling is bubbly.


    *Reserve remaining rolls for another use, or bake and serve as a side to Chicken Pot Pie.

    Note For 2 cups cubed cooked chicken breast, gently simmer 3 small chicken breasts in 2 cups fat-free reduced-sodium chicken broth about 20 minutes or until meat is no longer pink in center. Cool and cut into cubes. Reserve chicken broth for pot pie, if desired.
