A Great Family Dinner Recipe

I am always looking for great dinner recipes my family will enjoy.  My husband and daughter both have very different eating styles from me.  This recipe was printed in the Weight Watchers Weekly, which is handed out at each meeting.  The recipe was from January 2010 and I tried it at that time and it was a winner.  I made it for dinner again tonight, and again, A WINNER!!  It is 6 PointsPlus points.  That is great for a dinner, and a very filling dinner too!

OLD FASHIONED CHICKEN POT PIE

Ingredients

2 serving(s) butter-flavour cooking spray
1 tsp butter
1 small onion(s), chopped
2 cup(s) mushroom(s), sliced
1/4 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp dried thyme, crushed
1/2 tsp table salt, or more to taste
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 cup(s) frozen mixed vegetables
1 cup(s) canned chicken broth
3 cup(s) (chopped) roasted chicken breast, chopped
2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
1/2 cup(s) fat-free evaporated milk, divided
4 roll(s) reduced-fat crescent roll dough, unrolled

Instructions
Preheat oven to 375ºF. Coat a 10-inch round shallow baking dish with cooking spray.

Coat a large pot with cooking spray. Add butter and melt over medium heat. Add onion and mushrooms and cook, until tender, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes. Stir in paprika, thyme, salt and pepper. Add vegetables, broth and chicken. Cover and simmer 15 minutes.

In a small cup, combine flour and 1/4 cup of evaporated milk; stir into chicken mixture. Cook over medium heat until thickened, stirring constantly, about 2 minutes. Stir in remaining 1/4 cup of evaporated milk and cook until mixture is slightly thickened, about 2 to 3 minutes more.

Spoon chicken mixture into prepared baking dish. Unroll crescent rolls and arrange dough around inside edge of baking dish to form a border (there will be a hole in the middle). Bake until rolls are golden brown and filling is bubbly, about 15 minutes. Cut into 6 pieces and serve.

Notes:
Make this recipe to your family's taste with different frozen vegetable blends such as an Asian mix or bell pepper and onion strips.
