Helpful hints
- Take a look at Chicken Squares as they are baking in oven periodically to make sure they don’t get too brown.
- This is a higher sodium entrée. To keep sodium in check, complete the meal with low-sodium items such as salad, low-sodium dressing and fruit.
- The chicken bones and skin add extra flavor during cooking. Fourteen ounces of boneless, skinless chicken breasts may be substituted for bone-in breasts if desired.
- Freeze or refrigerate broth from boiling the chicken for later use in a recipe that calls for low-sodium chicken broth.
- If fat-free cream cheese is substituted, fat is reduced to 16 grams and sodium is 577 mg.
