TURKEY OR CHICKEN A LA KING

Evening all!

Tonight's recipe caused quite a frenzy here at Tuesday's with Dinah and Ma. Ma picked a recipe that had no serving size so I was unable to figure out the WW points and I also ended up not eating the dish because it included an ingredient or two that would bother my GERD. So ma's rating this one solo.

Wanna know what's in this "controversal" dish?

Here's what you'll need:


TURKEY OR CHICKEN A LA KING

Ingredients:
2/3 chicken breast or
leftover turkey (about 2 cups)
1 medium onion
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 cup celery, diced
1 small jar pimientos
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
2 cans mixed vegetables (or frozen)
1 can cream mushrooms soup
1 can cream celery soup
1 can cream chicken soup
1 small can mushrooms
3 or 4 cups milk (per thickness of sauce)
1 teaspoons Old Bay
salt / pepper to taste

Directions:
Brown chicken in skillet with oil; in same skillet, cook chopped celery until tender, then sauté onions and garlic. In a big pot with a lid, add small jar pimientos, Worcestershire sauce, creamed soups, milk, and vegetables. Add the seasoning. Simmer at low heat for 30 minutes or until hot. Add every thing from skillet to the pot and stir together. Serve over toast, rice or noodles.

WW Points: Because of no servings for this recipe I have no clue on points. Sorry!

Tid Bits:
*You can always substitute regular Cream of soups for fat-free or heart healthy versions.

*Not a fan of cream of celery or mushroom soup then just use cream of chicken soup instead.


Ma's Spot: as a child my mom made homemade chicken a la king all the time. I also remember it took all day with a lot of ingredients and took up a lot of time. So this for me is a lot easier, quicker, and less work. Lets face it working women/men we're always looking for a good shortcut meal. So if you're looking for some comfort food without all the fuss then this is the recipe for you. I loved it!




SNACK CORNER:* It's time for snack corner! Where we take new snacks in the grocery
store and break it down for you. We tell you which are hot and which
are not. Let's get to this week's pick:

WW Points: *4 for one packet

Dinah: So tonight we bring you the latest from Skinny Cow. Divine Filled Chocolates come in a package of three. These little treats are only 4 points and they pack a great chocolate/caramel punch. I found these while shopping at Kmart and figured why not give them a try? Glad I did. I'm a fan of the grab them and go feel of these. Also they make a great snack to take to the movies instead of spending $20 on candy there. Hey! don't act like you don't sneak in candy too. ;D.



Ma: Skinny Cow is one of my fave brands for snacks. I have to say this one is my fave of all the treats they have out and that's saying alot. I cannot believe how creamy the chocolate and caramel are together. I believe this was the creamiest chocolate I have ever tasted. When it melts in your mouth and the two combine fireworks will happen. So if you want a little Decadent treat that don't cost you a lot of calories or fat then try these. You won't regret it!



That's it for tonight folks. We'll see you here next Tuesday for hopefully a much more mellow dish. Have a great week guys!
