Re: recipes
here is my favorite one!
Chicken Noodle Casserole
INGREDIENTS
½ lb no yolk egg noodles 3 tablespoons all purpose flour 1 cup reduced sodium chicken broth 2 teaspoons canola oil 1 small onion finely chopped 2 cups fat free milk 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard 1 tablespoon fresh tarragon finely chopped ½ teaspoon salt Freshly ground pepper 1 (10 ounce package) frozen peas 2 cups cooked chicken cubed ½ cup shredded reduced fat Cheddar or Swiss cheese
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 2-quart high sided baking dish with non stick spray 2. Cook noodles according to package directions – omitting the salt. Drain. Set aside 3. whisk flour and ½ cup of the broth in a small bowl until the flour dissolves 4. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the milk and the remaining chicken broth; bringing the mixture to a simmer. Whisk in the flour mixture; cook, stirring constantly until the sauce bubbles and thickens (about 3 minutes). Stir in the mustard, tarragon, salt and pepper. 5. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the noodles, peas, chicken and cheese. Pour the mixture into the baking dish. Bake until bubbling and golden brown, about 40 minutes. Let stand about 5 minutes before serving.
