ingredients

• Pastry dough

• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 2 tablespoons whole wheat flour
• 1⁄4 cup Earth Balance margarine
• 1⁄3 cup plain fat free Greek yogurt, plus
• 2 teaspoons plain fat free Greek yogurt

• Filling

• 2 tablespoons whole wheat flour
• 3 cups reduced-fat chicken broth
• 1⁄2 cup carrot, diced
• 1⁄2 cup cremini mushroom, diced
• 1⁄4 cup white onions, diced or 1/4 cup yellow onion
• 1 cups frozen peas or (16 ounce) bag frozen peas
• 2 -3 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cooked and diced
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper

directions

1. Prepare dough first. In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine flour and margarine; with a pastry blender or the back of a fork, cut in margarine until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add in yogurt and mix thoroughly.
2. Form dough into 4 equal balls. Cover each portion with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 to 40 minutes (can be kept in refrigerator for up to 3 days, or frozen in freezer until ready to use). If dough is frozen, make sure to thaw completely before using.
3. For the filling: in a large stockpot, dissolve the flour in the broth with a whisk, and bring the broth mixture to a boil. Add carrots, mushrooms, and onions. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook until carrots are tender (about 10 minutes).
4. Add remaining ingredients except dough (cooked chicken, frozen peas; salt and pepper to taste). Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Divide mixture evenly among 4 individual casseroles (or 16 oz. soufflé dishes).
5. Roll 1 ball of dough between 2 sheets of wax paper, forming a circle slightly larger than the top of the casserole. Lift dough onto 1 filled dish. Using a fork, press edges of dough to rim of dish; gently pierce top of dough to allow steam to escape. Repeat procedure for other pies. Pies can now be wrapped and frozen for future use, or placed into a pre-heated 375 degree oven.
6. Place pies on a baking sheet and bake at 375 for 30-35 minutes, or until crust is lightly browned (will be 40-45 minutes if pies are frozen).
7. Let pies cool for 10 minutes before serving.
