Low Carb Chicken and Veggies image

I had cooked chicken in the freezer and wanted something pasta-like without boiling pasta. I make this every couple weeks and the leftovers heat up nicely for lunches.

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon oil
1/3 cabbage (green is best)
1 onion
1 red pepper
4 ounces frozen spinach
1 1/2 cups cooked chicken
4 ounces cream cheese (1/2 package)
1/2 cup chicken broth (light cream is an alternative)
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Slice thinly the cabbage, onion and pepper.
  • Heat a large heavy frying pan under medium high heat with about 1 tbsp butter and 1 tbsp oil. (I use regular olive oil).
  • Put in the vegetables and stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  • Once they start to fry turn down the heat somewhat.
  • Add the frozen spinach and cover to let steam.
  • Chop the cooked chicken and the cream cheese into cubes.
  • Once the vegetables have softened, add the chicken, cream cheese.
  • and the cream or chicken broth or both!. Keep the cover on.
  • Stir fairly frequently for about 5 minutes or until the cream cheese is melted. Do not boil.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper.
