Healthy...Low Salt..Low Fat Dietary Exchanges per serving: 1/2 starch, 3 very lean meat Carbohydrate choices: 1 Ingredients:
2 (8 ounce) boneless skinless chicken breasts |
6 cups water |
14 1/2 ounces reduced-sodium fat-free chicken broth (1/3-less-sodium) |
1/3 cup carrot, finely diced |
1 cup onion, diced (approximately 1/2 large onion) |
1/2 cup celery, finely diced |
1 teaspoon dried parsley |
1 teaspoon garlic powder |
1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon black pepper |
4 ounces angel hair pasta (break noodles in half) |

1. Place chicken, water, broth, carrot, onion, and celery in a one-gallon pot and bring to a boil.
2. Cook until chicken is no longer pink (about 15 minutes).
3. Remove chicken and skim any fat from broth (or refrigerate broth for 2 to 3 hours and then skim fat).
4. Dice chicken into bite-size pieces.
5. Return chicken to the skimmed broth along with all remaining ingredients.
6. Place over high heat and return to a boil.
7. Reduce heat to medium-high and boil gently until pasta is cooked (3 to 5 minutes).
