- 3 Tbs. olive oil
- 2 leeks, bottom 4 inches only, trimmed, washed well and chopped
- 2 stalks celery, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
- 2 medium white potatoes, left unpeeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1/2 pound fresh green beans, trimmed and cut in 1/2-inch pieces
- cut up carrots, about 1 cup
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (about 2 tsps.)
- 1 1/2 cups non-fat milk
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth

- 1 Tb. chopped fresh thyme
- 3 sheets frozen phyllo dough, thawed

Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Coat 4 individual-size baking dishes with cooking spray.
1. Season the chicken with ¼ tsp. of salt and ¼ tsp. of pepper. In a large non-stick skillet, heat 2 tsps. of the oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and brown, about 2½ minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
2.To the pan, add 2 tsps. more oil, the leeks and celery. Cook, stirring a few times. Add the potatoes, green beans, garlic and the remaining salt and pepper and cook for 2 minutes more, stirring to combine everything. Add the milk.
3.Stir the flour into the broth until dissolved and add to the pan. Cook, stirring, until the mixture comes to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.
4.Stir in the chicken, peas, parsley and thyme. Spoon the mixture into the baking dishes.
5.Put the remaining oil in a small dish. Unroll the phyllo dough and cut it into quarters. Place a quarter-sheet of phyllo on top of each baking dish and brush with the oil. Repeat layering with all three layers. Tuck the edges of the phyllo into the dish rim. Sprinkle the top of each pie with the Parmesan.
6.Place on a baking sheet and bake until the filling is bubbling, about 30 minutes. Serve hot.
