Skinny Rotisserie Chicken and Grits Casserole

 



 I must try this recipe since I love grits. 

I have never put cream cheese in grits, but it sounds like a good idea to try.  

I'm not convinced about bbq sauce for a garnish!

Check out Blair's blog for more great recipes.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups 1% low-fat milk
  • ¾ cup fat-free reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup uncooked quick-cooking grits
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup 2 ounces finely-grated Cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons butter 
  • 3 ounces 1/3-less-fat cream cheese
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 1 ½ cups about 9 ounces diced rotisserie chicken
  • ¼ cup barbecue sauce
  • Sliced green onions for garnish

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray an 11-inch by 7-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.

    Combine milk and broth in a medium heavy saucepan; bring to a boil. Gradually add grits and salt to pan, stirring constantly with a whisk.

      Cook for 5 minutes, or until thick, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Stir in Cheddar, butter, and cream cheese until smooth.

      Stir in egg whites and chicken.

        Spoon mixture into prepared baking dish.

          Bake at 375 degrees for 25 minutes, or until set.

            Just before serving, drizzle with barbecue sauce and garnish with green onions.

            Homemade Cracker Barrel Chicken and Dumplings

             


            The perfect comfort food!

            https://www.allfreecopycatrecipes.com/Chicken-Entrees/Homemade-Cracker-Barrel-Chicken-Dumplings



            Ingredients

            • For the Chicken Stock:
            • 1 chicken, whole or cut up
            • 3 carrots, peeled and cut in half
            • 4 stalks of celery, cut in half
            • 1 onion, peeled and cut in half
            • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
            • 2 teaspoons dried sage
            • Salt and pepper to taste
            •  
            • For the Dumplings:
            • 2 cups flour
            • 1 teaspoon baking powder
            • 1 teaspoon salt
            • 3 tablespoons crisco
            • 3/4 cup milk
            •  
            • 2 carrots, chopped (optional)
            • 2 stalks of celery, chopped (optional)
            • 1 small onion
            • 1/2 teaspoon dried sage
            • Salt and pepper to taste



            To Make the Chicken Stock:

            1. Place all ingredients for the chicken stock in a large stock pot. Fill with water until all the ingredients are covered.

            2. Bring the ingredients to a light simmer and let simmer over low heat for about 2 hours. Then remove the pieces of chicken and set aside. Strain the rest of the stock, discarding all the vegetables.

            3. After the chicken cools, cut it into pieces or shred it, depending on how you like your chicken and dumplings.


            To Make the Dumplings:

            1. Mix together all of the dumpling ingredients in a mixing bowl until they come together and form a ball. Add more flour if dough is too sticky and more milk if dough is too dry.

            2. Place the ball of dough on a floured surface. Knead a few times until smooth. Roll out the dough with a rolling pin until it is about 1/8 inch thick.

            3. Cut the rolled out dough into slices, then smaller bite-sized pieces. These will be your dumplings.

            To Assemble:

            1. Heat the remaining ingredients in a large pot with 6 cups of the strained stock. Add the reserved chicken. Add more water if the ingredients are not covered. Bring to a boil.

            2. Put the heat on low and add the cut-up dumplings.

            3. Simmer on low for 30 minutes or until dumplings are cooked through and the broth has thickened.

            4. If the broth is not thick enough, create a slurry by mixing together 1 teaspoon of flour and a 1/4 cup water in a small bowl. Then whisk into the broth and let simmer an additional 5 minutes.

                    Teriyaki Chicken & Rice

                     


                    This is one of those recipes that calls for the cook's judgment in amounts of some of the ingredients.  For example, the chicken.  I would buy a rotisserie chicken and cut up an appropriate amount for the amount of rice you will be making.  

                    In my opinion, I would not cook everything together.  Cut up rotisserie chicken, make a pot of rice and make the sauce, then assemble all together. 

                    Just my opinion!  It sounds delicious and I can't wait to make it.



                    Source: https://www.whilehewasnapping.com/2011/03/20-minute-teriyaki-chicken-rice/



                    Ingredients:

                    Pre-cooked Chicken  
                    Rice
                    1/4 cup Brown Sugar
                    1/4 cup Soy Sauce
                    3 Tbsp of Ketchup
                    1/4 cup water

                    Directions:

                    In a bowl, mix brown sugar, soy sauce, water and ketsup.  Stir until well blended.  Set aside.  

                    Measure out enough rice to feed your family and measure out the correct amount of liquid for your rice.
                      

                    I should have almost a cup of teriyaki sauce mixed in my bowl.  I will then need approximately 3 more cups of water.  If you want a stronger teriyaki flavor simply increase the amount of sauce you prepare and decrease the extra water accordingly.  

                    Pour the teriyaki sauce in the rice cooker.  Add the extra water.  

                    Dice the chicken and dump it in the cooker as well.  Set the cooker to cook and walk away.  Serve when the switch flips from “cook” to “warm”, at least that’s what mine does.  I usually serve it with steamed veggies or mix the veggies right in.  

                    Super simple and prep time is like ten minutes max.


                    Sesame Chicken Potstickers

                     


                    Love chinese food!  I've never made potstickers and look forward to giving it a try.

                    This is another recipe that is perfect for making a batch and putting some in the freezer for another meal if you are cooking for one or two.

                    Ingredients

                    • 1 pound ground chicken
                    • 3 ounces shiitake mushroomsdiced
                    • 2 cloves garlicpressed
                    • 2 green onionsthinly sliced
                    • 2 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce
                    • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
                    • 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
                    • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
                    • ¼ teaspoon white pepper
                    • 36 wonton wrappers
                    • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
                    Instructions
                    • In a large bowl, combine chicken, mushrooms, garlic, green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, rice vinegar and white pepper.*
                    • To assemble the potstickers, place wrappers on a work surface. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the chicken mixture into the center of each wrapper. Using your finger, rub the edges of the wrappers with water. Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape, pinching the edges to seal.*
                    • Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add potstickers in a single layer and cook until golden and crisp, about 2-3 minutes per side.

                    NOTES

                    *The filling in the potstickers does not have to be cooked prior to wrapping.

                    *To freeze, place uncooked potstickers in a single layer on a baking sheet overnight. Transfer to freezer bags.
