LOW-FAT CHICKEN CORN CHOWDER
I LOVE chicken corn chowder, but it is usually really high in calories. So, when the doctor told me that I need to lose some weight, I went a-hunting for a low-fat and low-cal version. What I found was this. I love that the work is minimal. No chopping (if you use frozen onions like I do), no peeling, just open a few cans and off you go! This is just as good reheated the next day if there are leftovers. I add a little Tabasco right before eating. Also, I should note that we like our chowder meaty, so I use 2 large cans of chicken. If you like it less so, you can use only one can. If you prefer to not use canned meat, use 1 cup of cooked, diced chicken breast for each can.

Tips:

- Add vegetables to the chowder. Vegetables such as celery, carrots, and onions are low in calories and fat and add flavor and texture to the chowder.
- Use lean protein. Chicken is a good source of lean protein and is often used in chicken corn chowder. Other lean protein options include turkey, fish, and tofu.
- Limit the amount of butter or oil used. Butter and oil are high in fat and calories. If you are using butter or oil in your chowder, use it sparingly.
- Don't overcook the chicken. Overcooked chicken is tough and dry. Cook the chicken until it is just cooked through.
- Serve the chowder with a whole-grain roll or crackers. This will add some extra fiber and nutrients to your meal.
