Receta Chicken Potato Casserole – Low Calorie
I serve this Chicken Potato Casserole to my family when we are under the weather. It hardly takes time to prepare and it is light on your stomach too. What I like about this casserole is not only the simplicity but also the different flavors coming from its ingredients. The sweetness of the onion combined with the creamy texture the garlic takes after it’s cooked is just so soothing, along with the soft potatoes which have absorbed the seasoning and aroma.
The chicken is (the hero here) is tender and luscious, sitting on a bed of creamy and silky sauce.
What else I like about this dish? I can mash the potato and have it with the chicken instead of bread or rice. As I have mentioned in my other posts which have potatoes as the main ingredient, One medium potato (5.3 oz) with the skin contains:
45 percent of the daily value for vitamin C
More potassium (620 mg) than even bananas, spinach, or broccoli;
10 percent of the daily value of B6;
Trace amounts of thiamine, riboflavin, folate, magnesium, phosphorous, iron, and zinc
…and all this for just 110 calories and no fat, sodium or cholesterol.
