ACCOMPANIMENTS

Cook's Notes: Sun-dried plum tomatoes add rich flavor to low cholesterol creamed chicken: 405 cals per serving (12% CFF 5½ gr total fat, 400 mg sodium). Estimated by MasterCook 3.03; include side dishes.-- PATh Reconstitute tomatoes in broth about 15-30 minutes. Dice the tomatoes and return them to the broth. If chicken pieces are thicker than one-half inch, gently flatten with mallet or heavy pan. Prepare fettucini and steam or grill the zucchini.

STIR FRY (see TIP): Heat wok; quickly brown chicken pieces on both sides.

Push meat to rest along wall of wok. While meat continues to cook, stir fry the onion, then add mushrooms and garlic. Meanwhile, combine the tomato mixture with milk and cornstarch. When meat and vegetables are done, but not dry, remove wok from heat. Clear bottom of wok by pushing food up the side; pour liquid mixture in center of pan. Return to heat, stirring to thicken and adding chicken broth if needed. Coat chicken and vegetables with sauce. Spoon the meat and sauce over fettuccini.

Serve with bread and vegetable sides.

TIP: heat un-oiled wok, stir-fry oiled-meat and/or vegetable; i.e., toss the meat and/or vegetable in the little bit of oil (bottle or spray) to coat. -- From Betty Crocker Booklet: Low Fat and Fit, 1996:Mar,p40. Pat Hanneman (Ed.), MasterCook. Relayed to Prodigy's TNT on 12/9/96.
