Helpful Hints

• Complete this meal with a serving or rice, green beans, French bread, margarine or butter and a baked apple for dessert.
• Use leftover chicken breasts in a chicken salad or sandwich for lunch the next day.
• Look for low-sodium broth containing less than 140 milligrams sodium per cup. Avoid low-sodium broth that contains potassium chloride—it’s very high in potassium. Reduced-sodium broth containing 500 milligrams sodium or less per 1-cup serving is also a good choice in limited amounts. Recommended brands include Health Valley No Salt, Fat Free Chicken Broth (www.HealthValley.com) (1-800-423-4846), Kitchen Basics Natural Chicken Stock (www.kitchenbasics.net) and Swanson 50% Less Sodium Chicken Broth (www.swansonbroth.com).
• If you are on a protein-restricted diet, ask your dietitian for advice on the correct portion size for your individual diet.

Moist-not dry like some crock pot chicken. Be sure to use bone-in chicken with skin on.
