Broccoli-Cheddar-Chicken Chowder
"My monthly AARP Newsletter often has recipes that capture my immediate attention. Here's what they had to say about this appealing "meal-in-a-bowl" recipe. ... "In this healthy broccoli-cheddar-chicken chowder recipe, heavy cream is replaced w/milk & flour-thickened chicken broth AND we keep sodium amts reasonable w/lower-sodium broth. By making your own homemade creamy broccoli, cheddar & chicken chowder, you’ll save up to 300 calories, 20 gms of saturated fat & 500 mgs of sodium per serving compared to many store-bought or restaurant chowders." Sounded like a pretty good sales-pitch to me. Prep time was estimated, allowing time for the ingredients to be assembled & prepared. Cook time was based on prep steps. Enjoy!"
