Add about 1 quart of water to a deep 2-quart pot. Add 1 Tablespoon of olive oil which will help prevent sticking. Next, add 1 cup of cubed raw chicken (white or dark meat - no skin and no bones). While chicken is cooking - and it will cook quite swiftly, mix the following in a small, deep bowl with a spoon. Mix until a dough forms, then use hands to form balls (dumplings) about the size of a golf ball.
1 1/2 cups of low fat baking mix
1 teaspoon of dried parsley
1/2 cup of skim milk (use more if dough is too thick if dough is too thin, simply add more baking mix)
Add 3 chicken bouillon cubes to the pot containing the chicken, then carefully add the dumplings one at a time. Cook on low until dumplings are done - about 10 minutes. Entire pot contains about 1,000 calories and contains 4 - 6 generous servings, so you can enjoy about 1/3rd of the pot. Share another 1/3 with family or friends. Save the remaining 1/3 for lunch tomorrow.
Nutritional Notes: This free diet dinner menu contains 1 protein, 2 grains, 1 vegetable and a dash of dairy and minimal fat derived from a healthy source (olive oil).
