Ingredients
1 small chicken (1-1/2 lbs)
1 1/2 cup water
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 stalk celery
1/4 cup onion
1 dumplings, recipe follows
1 cup all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp shortening
1/2 cup skim milk
Directions
Directions for Chicken and Dumplings: Disjoint chicken and remove
skin; place in large pan. Add water, salt, celery, and onion; simmer
1 to 2 hours or until meat is tender. Remove chicken from bone;
return chicken to chicken stock. Bring chicken and stock to a boil;
add rolled dumplings. Cover and boil gently 8 to 10 minutes.
Directions for making rolled dumplings: Combine flour, baking powder,
and salt. Cut in shortening. Add milk to make a stiff dough. Roll
dough out to about 1/8 inch thickness and cut into 1 inch strips,
squares or diamonds.
Each serving 3/4 Cup, may be exchanged for 2 Medium Fat Meat, 1
Starch.
To make a chicken pot pie, put mixture in a deep dish, cover with a
rolled pastry dough to fit, making several slashes in the top. The
top crust would add calories to the total. You may add peas, carrots,
mushrooms if you like. Those ingredients are not in the original
recipe. From files of Alice Broaddus 2/02/93

The Glycaemic Index Diet
The gi index weight loss program is linked to the gi index, a list showing food types and a score illustrating the speed with which the glucose in the food gets transformed to glucose in the dieters blood stream. The believe is that slow acting food types (ie those food types with a low Gi number), keep you satisfied for a longer period of time and mean that you can injest less food without feeling hungry. It is also very beneficial for people with diabetes, as the low GI foods are useful in managing increases in blood glucose levels. Healthy foods with carotenes (includes carrots, kale and tomato puree) These orange and green healthy plants contain carotenes thought to help in preventing cancer, particularly of the stomach and lesophagus. Most also help you lose weight, so should be a part of every weight loss program. |
