Low-Sodium Chicken Recipe?!
Answers: I'd like to make a chicken recipe for dinner tomorrow, but my Dad's watching his sodium intake. Any low low sodium chicken dishes?
Chicken Enchiladas
PREP TIME 15 Min
COOK TIME 30 Min
READY IN 45 Min
INGREDIENTS
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup chopped green onions
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 (4 ounce) can diced green chiles
1 (10.75 ounce) can LOW SODIUM condensed cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup sour cream
1 1/2 cups cubed cooked chicken breast meat
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
6 (12 inch) flour tortillas
1/4 cup milk
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a large baking dish.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and saute the green onion until tender (about 3 to 4 minutes). Add the garlic powder, then stir in the green chiles, cream of mushroom soup and sour cream. Mix well. Reserve 3/4 of this sauce and set aside. To the remaining 1/4 of the sauce in the saucepan, add the chicken and 1/2 cup of shredded Cheddar cheese. Stir together.
Fill each flour tortilla with the chicken mixture and roll up. Place seam side down in the prepared baking dish.
In a small bowl combine the reserved 3/4 of the sauce with the milk. Spoon this mixture over the rolled tortillas and top with the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded Cheddar cheese. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly.
I like to brown boneless chicken breasts in a little olive oil, til they're golden and a little crispy. Drain, then slice them into pieces about 1/2" thick and return them to the skillet.
On top, I pour a 50/50 mixture of plain yogurt and humus. You can buy ready-made humus or put cooked chick peas, garlic to taste, lemon juice, and tahini in the blender.
This is a great dish served over rice and the only sodium would be whatever's in the humus.
