How to Make Chicken Leek And Parsley Pie

  1. Poach chicken breasts in 2 cups of water seasoned with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper until cooked through (about 15-20 minutes).
  2. Remove chicken from water; cool slightly. Once cool, shred or cut into strips.
  3. In a large bowl, cut 1/4 cup (0.5 sticks) of low-fat margarine into 1 1/2 cups of flour and 1/2 tsp salt using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Stir in 1 cup of plain nonfat Greek yogurt until just combined and the dry ingredients are moistened.
  5. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30-40 minutes.
  6. While the dough chills, sauté 2 large leeks (white and light green parts only, thinly sliced) in 1 tbsp of low-fat margarine until softened (about 5-7 minutes).
  7. Stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup shredded Gruyere cheese, and 1/2 cup of chopped fresh parsley.
  8. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). In a 9x11 inch baking dish, layer the shredded chicken and the leek mixture.
  9. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, 2 tbsp all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup milk, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  10. Pour the mustard mixture evenly over the chicken and leek layers in the baking dish.
  11. Roll out the chilled pie dough and place it over the filling. Trim and crimp the edges to seal.
  12. Cut a slit in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
  13. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
