Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium potatoes
- 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 pound skinless chicken breasts
- olive oil cooking spray
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 cup frozen corn kernels
- 0.5 cup reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
Instructions
Peel and cube the potatoes. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil, add potatoes, and cook until tender, about 15 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and mash them with unsweetened almond milk, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Set aside and keep warm.
Slice the skinless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Coat a non-stick skillet with olive oil cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until golden and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
In a small saucepan, bring the low-sodium chicken broth to a boil. In a small bowl, dissolve cornstarch in 2 tablespoons of cold water and stir into the boiling broth. Reduce heat and simmer for about 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the gravy thickens.
Microwave the frozen corn kernels according to package instructions or until heated through, about 3-4 minutes.
Assemble the bowl by layering mashed potatoes, cooked chicken, corn, and pouring the gravy over the top. Sprinkle with reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese.
Place the bowls in the microwave for about 30 seconds to melt the cheese slightly.
Sprinkle each bowl with dried parsley before serving.
