Chicken Not Pot Pie

well, this is something I kind of threw together (using veggies I had in my fridge), so you could add anything you want really, but here's the basics:

3-4 huge boneless, skinless chicken breast (mine were frozen solid)


Boil the chicken for 1-1.5hrs on medium heat in about 5 cups of water in a huge stew pot. When they are done add:

either diced onion (i used dehydrated onion, about 2tbsp)
1tbsp garlic powder
8oz chicken stock (I use rachel ray, low in carbs and no preservatives)
1/2-1 bag baby carrots, whole
1/2 head cabbage leaves, torn into pieces
1-160z bag cauliflower
salt & pepper to taste

I let all of this cook another good 1.5-2 hours on low, at the end I added 1tsp of xanthum gum to thicken it a bit, but it really didn't need it. Oh I forgot to add I shredded the chicken in the pot before I added the other ingredients.

You don't have to cook it long like this, but I didn't feel like standing over the stove that day. This made a huge pot and I have been eating on it for days and have enough for the rest of the week.

You cold use any veggies you want, but corn and peas aren't on my eating plan so they didn't get used. The carrots weren't optional:laugh:

This really does taste like the inside of a pot pie to me.

Product Review-Smokin' Joe Jones BBQ Sauce

I was disappointed when KC Masterpiece discontinued their "low calorie", which was actually low carb, bbq sauce. I finally got the courage to try this new one that people on LC friends had tried, and I really really like it. It's not as smoky and sweet as I'm used to, being from Texas, it's got more of a bite, with more vinegar, but it's really good. This will be my go to BBQ sauce for now, unless they discontinue it also. I give it a 4 out of 5.

Smokin' Joe Jones BBQ Sauce

Product Review-Dixie Diner Carb Counters Ready To Eat Protein Power Brownie

I tried these "brownies" from netrition. I have really liked products from Dixie Diner before so I was expecting a lot. These don't taste anything like a brownie, nor have the consistency of one. They are pretty dry and hard. They have a weird taste, kind of like rasins or prunes. I didn't like them at all. I will not buy them again. I give them a 1 out of 5.
