Chicken, Green Beans and Mushroom Bake
Chicken, Green Beans and Mushroom Bake
A variation on a dish I posted last week, I think I liked this one better! You really could put anything you want into this dish and it would be good. This one was even easier because the chicken was already cooked for me. Although taking the extra step and cooking your own chicken wouldn’t complicate it much! Fresh green beans were really nice for a change; I don’t think I’ve had them since I started Dukan! Enjoy.
CHICKEN, GREEN BEANS AND MUSHROOM BAKE
1 cup skim milk
1 t cornstarch mixed with 1 T water
1 t dried parsley
1/2 t smoked paprika
1/4 t chili powder
1 clove garlic, crushed
2 rotisserie chicken breasts, shredded (save the dark meat for soup!)
1/2 lb fresh green beans, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
4 oz sliced mushrooms
1/2 small onion, chopped
1/4 cup oat bran
1/2 cup fat free cottage cheese
1/2 cup fat free mozzarella cheese, shredded
Whisk the milk over medium heat until warm and add the cornstarch mixture whisking continuously until the sauce thickens, about 3-5 minutes. Add the cheese and whisk until mixed in. Pour into a large bowl and set aside. In a skillet, brown onions, mushrooms and garlic over medium heat for 5 minutes. Meanwhile mix, parsley, paprika, chili powder, oat bran, chicken and cottage cheese into the cheese sauce and season with salt and pepper. Add the vegetables, stir til everything is incorporated and pour mixture into a casserole dish sprayed with a bit of cooking spray. Bake, uncovered, at 350 for 35 minutes. Let set for 10 minutes before serving.

Hi Janice, When you use chicken or turkey sausages, what is the fat content? Where I am on Vancouver Island, we aren’t able to get a lot of the fat free products you are using. I think Canada has less of those kinds of products. So, for cheese, can you use it if the fat is under 5%? I can buy lots of low fat products. I can get fat free sour cream, cottage cheese,milk etc but not fat free cream or ff cream cheese. I can buy 97% ff spreadable cream cheese which I have been using. I improvise and seem to make it work just fine. Made Greek Moussaka tonight. Yummmm! Thanks again foe sharing your recipes.
i don’t use fat free products. even though i write the recipes that way, i use lowfat. i HATE fat free products and i hate all the chemicals in them. i use lowfat cheese, sausage, everything! i use regular turkey italian sausage. i did, all the way through cruise. it worked for me. i tried to use the fat free stuff, i just didn’t like it. some of the cheese is ok, but who wants all those chemicals in their bodies? and you’re going to go back to using lowfat healthy products after it’s over anyway. it’s your call and you’re going to have to decide through the diet what you want to eat. i made my choices and i was happy with them. carbs were my problem and i did a good job of keeping them out. by the way, my cousin lives on the island!! my mom is from vancouver! my aunt lives in new westminster. sure miss canada–i grew up in seattle and now that i’m in california i don’t get up there anymore. we used to go twice a month as kids…
Glad to hear that about the fat free stuff!! I totally agree! I did use the ff stuff that I could find for a bit and then I decided the low fat was low enough and tastes much better. Usually has more sugar or something else in place of the fat anyway. I feel better about making my choices now. Thanks!
What city does your cousin live in on the Island? Well I miss So Cal! We go down for a month each year, hope to go down for longer in the near future! Have a great week-end!
Ill have to look up his address. You gotta just make the diet work for you. You have a great weekend too!
