Lighter Chicken Potpie

Ingredients

• 24 ounces chicken breast halves bone-in
• 1 serving coarse mustard 
• 3 tablespoons olive oil 
• 4  carrots thick sliced
• 1 medium onion finely chopped
• 0.3 teaspoon thyme leaves dried
• 0.3 cup flour all-purpose
• 2.5 cups milk 1% low-fat ()
• 10 ounces peas frozen thawed
• 2 tablespoons juice of lemon fresh
• 6 sheets dough thawed (each 12 by 17 inches)

Equipment

• baking sheet
• sauce pan
• oven
• knife
• kitchen thermometer

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Place chicken on a rimmed baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of breast (avoiding bone) registers 165 degrees, 25 to 30 minutes.
3. Let cool slightly; discard skin and bones. Shred meat, and set aside.
4. While chicken is roasting, heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large saucepan over medium.
5. Add carrots, onion, and thyme; season with salt and pepper, and cook until carrots are crisp-tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
6. Add flour, and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Gradually add milk, stirring until smooth. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture comes to a simmer and thickens.
7. Remove from heat; stir in peas, lemon juice, and chicken, and season with salt and pepper.
8. Pour filling into a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate.
9. Stack phyllo on a work surface. Using a paring knife, cut out an 11-inch circle from the stack; discard trimmings. Stack 2 circles on work surface, and brush gently with 1 teaspoon oil; repeat with remaining circles and oil.
10. Place phyllo stack over filling, and press down about 1/2 inch from the edge so phyllo fits inside rim of pie plate.
11. Bake until golden and bubbling, 20 to 25 minutes.
12. Let potpie cool 15 minutes before serving.
