Hungry Girl Kickin' Chicken Pot Pie
(SOOO good, HEALTHIER and SOOOO easy!)

Oh, chicken pot pie -- we thought we'd never get to spend quality time together again. You with your crazy-fatty crust and gooey, creamy innards. Us with our calorie-conscious ways. We were wrong again! One of our lovely and talented subscribers inspired us to create this super-simple CPP swap (thanks, Margaret). Don't be chicken -- check it out!

Ingredients:
8 oz. raw boneless skinless chicken breast; cut into bite-sized pieces
3 cups C&W Ultimate Petite Mixed Vegetables (or any other frozen mixed vegetables)
1 can (10.75 oz.) Campbell's Condensed Soup, 98% Fat Free Cream of Celery
3 servings Pillsbury Reduced Fat Crescent Rolls (unprepared)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Saute chicken pieces for several minutes in a pan spritzed with nonstick cooking spray, until chicken is light brown/cooked but still tender; set aside. Heat frozen veggies in microwave according to package. Mix chicken, vegetables and soup together and put in a 9" round baking dish sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Place dish in oven and bake for about 30 minutes or until hot and bubbly (stir about halfway through). While dish is cooking, unroll 3 crescent rolls. Combine pieces together with hands to make one large ball of dough. With a rolling pin, roll dough out into a circle to cover top of dish. Add dough to the top of the dish and cook for an additional 15 - 20 minutes or until top is golden brown. Serves 4.

Hi Michelle-- I hope all is well with you! I thought I'd share that I use the cookbook "Deceptively Delicious", by Jessica Seinfield often. It has some very good recipes that "hide" vegetables buy putting vegetable purees into the recipe. My children are older than yours (10, and 13), and actually know that I make the purees and include them in almost everthing we eat now, but the taste is the same, and sometimes even enhanced. My 13 year old likes very few fruits and vegetables, so this book has been a blessing for me! (Though the recipes with broccoli puree turn green, which is probably fun for young children, but a little bit of a turnoff for the older ones! :)
