Ingredients:
- 4 cups chicken broth (either homemade and de-fatted* or canned fat-free version)
- 2 cups chopped cooked boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1 16 oz. can tomatoes, undrained, cut up**
- 1 tart apple, cored, peeled and chopped
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1/4 cup chopped carrot
- 1/4 cup chopped celery
- 1/4 cup chopped green pepper
- 1 tbsp. snipped parsley
- 2 tsp. lemon juice
- 1 tsp. honey
- 1 tsp. curry powder
- 2 whole cloves--for easier removal knot in a bit of cheesecloth
- 2/4 tsp. salt
- Dash pepper
Directions:
Combine all ingredients in crock-pot. Cover and cook on low heat for 8-10 hours. Remove cloves before serving. Makes 6 servings.
*To de-fat homemade chicken broth, pour into wide mouth container and refrigerate overnight. The fat will form a solid layer that can be removed with a spatula.
**The easiest way to cut up canned tomatoes is to leave them in the can and stick the blades of kitchen shears in and snip awayno mess.
Add a green salad (from a bag in the produce department) and some multigrain rolls from the bakery and you have a hearty and satisfying meal. No one will ever know it is fat free unless you tell them.
