This chicken pot pie is a surprisingly authentic swap for the real thing. The reduced-fat crescent topping is the best part. Yum!

Ingredients

8 ounces raw boneless skinless lean chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces 3 cups frozen mixed vegetables

One 10.75-ounce can Campbell's 98 % Fat Free Cream of Celery Soup 3 servings Pillsbury Reduced Fat Crescent Rolls refrigerated dough

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Cook chicken pieces for several minutes in a pan spritzed with nonstick spray, until chicken is light brown (cooked but still tender). Set aside.

Heat frozen veggies in the microwave according to package instructions.

Mix chicken, vegetables, and soup together, and then place in a 9-inch round baking dish sprayed with nonstick spray. Place dish in the oven and bake for about 30 minutes or until mixture is hot and bubbly, stirring halfway through.

While dish is cooking, unroll 3 crescent rolls. Use your hands to combine pieces into one large ball of dough. With a rolling pin, roll dough out (super-thin) into a circle just large enough to fit inside the dish (a little less than 9 inches wide).

Add dough to the top of the mixture and cook for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, until top is golden brown.
