    Recipe Introduction

    Skinless chicken is the basis for this delicious stew with cornmeal dumplings made with low-fat milk.....No Carbohydrate levels available YIELD: 6 servings

    For the stew:
    1 lb. skinless, boneless chicken meat, cut into 1-inch cubes
    1/2 C. onion, coarsely chopped
    1 medium carrot, peeled and thinly sliced
    1 stalk celery, thinly sliced
    1/4 t. salt
    1 pinch ground cloves
    1 bay leaf
    3 C. water
    1 t. cornstarch
    1 t. dried basil
    1 10-oz. package frozen peas
    black pepper, to taste

    For cornmeal dumplings:
    1 C. yellow cornmeal
    3/4 C. sifted all-purpose flour
    2 t. baking powder
    1/2 t. salt
    1 C. low-fat (1 percent) milk
    1 T. vegetable oil

    For stew:
    Place chicken, onion, carrot, celery, salt, pepper, cloves, bay leaf and water in a large saucepan. Heat to boil; cover and reduce heat to simmer. Cook about l/2 hour or until chicken is tender.

    Remove chicken and vegetables from broth. Strain broth.
    Skim fat from broth; measure and, if necessary, add water to make 3 cups liquid.

    Mix cornstarch with 1 C. cooled broth by shaking vigorously in jar with tight-fitting lid. Pour into saucepan with remaining broth; cook, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to boil and is thickened.

    Add basil, peas and reserved vegetables to sauce; stir to combine. Add chicken and heat slowly to boiling while preparing cornmeal dumplings.

    For dumplings:
    Sift together cornmeal, flour, baking powder and salt into large bowl. Mix together milk and oil. Add milk mixture all at once to dry ingredients; stir just enough to moisten flour and evenly distribute liquid. Dough will be soft.

    Drop by full tablespoons on top of braised meat or stew. Cover tightly; heat to boiling. Reduce heat (do not lift cover) to simmering and steam about 20 minutes.
