My version of your casserole
I was intrigued by this recipe.....sounded so good, but a little too carby for me. I have to keep at about 20 per day. I decided to play with it. It was so good that I need to share this with people like me (still on induction)
4 chicken breast
3 cups broccoli, cooked
1 can mushrooms(drained) or 1 cup fresh mushrooms
1-1/2 cup cubed cheddar cheese
4 eggs made into "noodles"
1-1/2 cup heavy cream
1 cup chicken stock
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup chopped toasted almonds
first thing I did was make my Mock noodles. they are just 4 eggs beaten and pour into non stick skillet. cook until set. this I did in 2 batches. set the cooked eggs on a cutting board to cool.
In the same skillet, brown 4 chicken breasts until 95% done. set aside to cool, then cube.
in that same skillet, add 1 cup chicken stock and reduce by 3/4. then add 1-1/2 cup heavy cream and reduce until thick.
cut the egg into "noodles". put in mixing bowl. add cubed chicken, broccoli, cheese, mushrooms and cream mixture from skillet. toss gently and put this mess in a 9x13 buttered casserole dish (if this looks a little dry, add some cream) and bake until bubbling.
top with about 1/2 cup chopped almonds right before serving.
I havent figured out the nutritional data on this. I just know that is is lower than the original.
thank you - Nanci
