I had that leftover jerk chicken. It's basically just leftover grilled breast meat at this point, and it's tough to come up with something to do with leftovers that's new and different. This recipe accomplishes that AND stays low carb to help me on my diabetic diet quest. On WW, this is just 8.8 points per cup.
You can make this low-carb version of chicken divan
on the stovetop and run it under the broiler. Or forget the broiler and just
serve and eat. Classic comfort food, and a great way to use up leftover chicken
or turkey (or buy a roasted chicken at the deli).
Ingredients:
•
2.5 cups (or so) of chopped
cooked chicken
•
3 cups cooked chopped broccoli
•
8 oz mushrooms, sliced
•
1/4 cup chopped onion
•
1/2 cup dry white wine
•
3/4 cup chicken broth and salt to
taste
•
1/4 cup half & half
•
1/2 cup milk (low fat)
•
2 T whole wheat flour
•
1 teaspoon dried thyme
•
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
•
1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
Preparation:1)
Saute onion and mushrooms in oil for 4-5 minutes.
2) Add wine and boil most of
it away.
3) Add thickener. If you are using flour, cook for a minute or so
before adding the rest of the ingredients.
4) Add liquids and seasonings.
Cook, stirring occasionally, for 2-3 minutes. Add the rest of the ingredients
except the cheese - you can mix that in or sprinkle it over the top and put the
whole thing under the broiler to brown.
