Turkey Pot Pie

Let me start by saying this is not a dish you should judge by its picture. I've held off several times from posting this because I really struggle to get a good picture, but man, it is just too good to keep a secret any longer! This is another Mrs. Dash recipe, and if you haven't yet tried the Garlic Herb Marinade, do it soon, you will love it. This pot pie is a bit tangier than the traditional one you may be used to but it is absolutely fantastic. Even my very traditional husband says that its in my best interest to keep this as my staple pot-pie.

Ingredients
  • 2 frozen 9-inch pie crusts
  • 1 can low sodium cream of chicken soup
  • 3/4 cup skim milk
  • 1/4 cup Mrs. Dash Zesty Garlic Herb Marinade
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 16oz frozen mixed vegetables
  • 2 cups thin sliced turkey breast, diced
Directions
  1. Take pie crusts and veggies out of the freezer to thaw while you prepare the turkey.
  2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  3. Dice and cook turkey breast.
  4. Grease pie plate with cooking spray and press on bottom pie crust.
  5. Whisk soup, milk, Mrs. Dash, and cornstarch in a large bowl.
  6. Add veggies and turkey.
  7. Spoon mixutre into pie pan. Top with crust, pressing onto the edges of the plate. Cut several slits in the crust.
  8. Bake for 40 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
I hope you love it!

Feta Stuffed Chicken

This is one of my favorite dishes! This is another one I found last summer when we began our new diet, and I apologize for not remembering my source. It is such a yummy meal though, and perfect for a light summer evening. Ever since I made this I have frequent requests from the hubby for things involving feta, (although he may kill me for publicly mentioning that).

Although we didn't enjoy it with it this time, a great side with this meal is the cranberry feta salad I blogged about a few weeks ago.

Ingredients
  • 1lb chicken breast halves
  • 1/4 cup dry breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup garlic and herb feta cheese
  • 1 1/2 tsp margarine, melted
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Place each chicken breast half in between two sheets of heavy duty plastic wrap or wax paper. Flatten to 1/4 inch thick (this is my favorite part :) ).
  3. Dredge chicken in breadcrumbs.
  4. Spoon 1 tbsp of cheese into the middle of each piece of chicken and roll.
  5. Place chicken breasts (seam side down) into a square baking dish coated with cooking spray.
  6. Drizzle margarine over chicken.
  7. Bake 25-30 minutes or until chicken reaches 160 degrees.
I hope you try this amazing dish, and please comment and let me know what you think of it!
