creamy verde chicken

Tastes sort of like pollo a la crema with a fraction of the calories and fat!

2 cups cubed cooked chicken breast ( store rotisserie is perfect for this)

3/4 to 1 cup nonfat sour cream

1 cup (about 1/2 a jar) salsa verde medium spice

1/2 cup sliced yellow onion

3 green scallions sliced

1 can sliced whole mushrooms (can use fresh- 1 cup sliced added when yellow onions are)

Kosher salt

Ground pepper

Sliced avocado (optional- not counted in nutrition count).

Cilantro to garnish

Nice thing about this recipe is just dump stuff in to your taste! Just remember to measure if you put in extra or start with less. My fitness pal is good at calculating calories.

Heat skillet over medium high heat and add 1/2 tbsp of olive oil. Add yellow onion (& mushrooms if using fresh) and sauté until very lightly browned on some edges & soft. You can use 1/2 cup Water instead to soften and heat (no extra fat).

When onion softened through, add the green onion and stir until those are slightly wilted. Reduce heat to medium and added cubed chicken breast, sour cream and salsa verde. Stir to combine and heat through.

Add mushrooms if using canned, dump whole can including liquid and stir to combine. If sauce is too thick, add 1/4 cup of water to thin. Season with salt and pepper to taste, spoon into bowls and top with sliced avocado and cilantro if desired.

Makes about 2 cups....serves 2 pre sleeve, probably about 4 servings for sleeved folks.

I hope surgery went well! Take it easy introducing new stuff when you get to solids- spice may not agree with your sleeve at first.
