EDIT: Nothing like presetting all the monthly recipes to take care of the posting so I can lecture prep and realizing that it never happened 2 months into the process. So if you were expecting these recipes to post during the month for your enjoyment, I am sorry. If you want to find the recipes which have now posted, try out the links below in the theme list.
Easy low-fat
and sodium Chicken and Dumplings
I got this recipe through Carolyn Foster. It started out with just sage in it and I
found if you are removing fat and salt you need more herb flavors, so I added
them. I think if you get a rotisserie chicken and pull it apart it will have
less sodium than the canned chicken in the recipe, but that is just me.
2 large cans of
chicken breast
2 48-ounce
carton low sodium chicken broth
2 cups of
pre-chopped celery, onion, carrots, and bell peppers
1/4 tsp ground
sage
1/2 tsp parsley
1/2 tsp savory
1/2 tsp chives
or garlic chives
1 Tbls olive
oil
1 cup
self-rising flour
1 cup cold
water
1 tsp salt (use
a 1/2 teaspoon for broth mixture and 1/2 teaspoon for dumplings)
Pepper to taste
Directions:
Sauté chopped
vegetables and herbs in olive oil until translucent. Bring chicken broth to a
boil add canned chicken breast to broth. Add cooked vegetables and a 1/2
teaspoon of salt to broth and reduce to simmer.
Dumplings: Form dumplings by mixing 1 cup cold
water to 1 cup of self-rising flour and a 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Mix together
until flour mixture consistency is sticky. Use a tablespoon to form the
dumplings.
Drop dumplings
one at a time into simmering broth mixture. Dumplings will form and will not
stick together. Turn heat up to medium. Broth and dumplings will turn to a
gravy-like consistency. Reduce to simmer again. Serve hot. Can be reheated for
leftovers the following day. Leftovers may be kept up to three to four days in
the refrigerator. Serves 10
