Monday Meals --- September 28, 2009

Mondays seem to be very crazy in our house. I thought it might be helpful to post a new recipe every week for easy to make dishes.

This week's recipe comes from FamilyFun.com.

Chicken and Potatoes au Gratin

An entire comfort-food meal all in one dish!

1 broiler-fryer chicken 1/2 cup chicken broth 1 clove garlic, halved 3/4 cup non-fat sour cream 3/4 cup skim milk 1 small onion, minced 3 tbsp. chopped pimiento 1 tsp. prepared mustard 4 Yukon gold potatoes, sliced thin 1/4 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. pepper 2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice 2 tbsp. grated Romano cheese 2 tbsp. butter or margarine 1 cup whole wheat bread crumbs

Step 1
Cook chicken. Remove and discard skin and bones and cut meat into pieces. Mix broth with cooked chicken. Spray a 2 quart shallow baking dish with vegetable cooking spray. Rub dish with garlic halves; then mince garlic and place in small bowl. To this bowl, add the sour cream, 1/4 cup of the milk, onion, pimiento and mustard; stir to mix well. Sprinkle potatoes with salt and pepper.

Step 2
In prepared baking dish, place 1/3 of the potatoes; top with half the chicken and half the sour cream mixture. Repeat layers and then top with remaining third of the potatoes. Pour remaining 1/2 cup of milk over all; sprinkle with lemon juice and Romano cheese. Mix the butter or margarine and bread crumbs; spread over all. Bake in 375 degree oven about 1 hour, or until potatoes are tender. Makes 6 servings.
