Ingredients:
15 oz package of refrigerated pie crust
sprinkle of salt
2 TBSP all purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp fresh ground pepper
1 Tbsp Italian seasoning
8 oz chicken breast, cut into bite sized pieces
1 1/4 cups water
1/2 cup chopped carrot
1/2 cup celery, chopped
1 small can yellow corn
1/2 cup green beans
1 cup fresh mushrooms, cut in half
1 10 oz can cream of chicken soup, reduced fat/low sodium
Prep:
Preheat oven to 425. Cut 5 (4 inch circles-I used my egg poaching things that you place in a pan) out of refrigerated pie dough. Place the circles on aluminum foil or cookie sheet and coat with cooking spray and sprinkle with salt. Poke top of dough with a fork 1-2 times. Bake for 12 minutes.
Cut up veggies and chicken. Place chicken in a ziploc bag and add flour, salt, ground pepper, and italian seasoning to bag. Shake to coat. Spray with cooking spray and heat skillet to medium-high heat and brown chicken for about 10 minutes. Stir in water, scraping pan to remove the brown bits from chicken. Stir in veggies, mushrooms, and soup and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cook for 10 minutes. Spoon 1 cup of the mixture into each individual cup/ramekin or bowl. Top each with 1 piecrust.
