Helpful hints
- Freeze leftovers in individual portions for a quick meal later.
- Chicken may be increased to make a higher protein dish.
- Add 2 cups cooked broccoli or carrots in step 6 to make a one dish meal.
- The cheese in this recipe contributes 1-1/2 tablespoons per serving and 56 mg phosphorus which is acceptable for a kidney diet. For a lower phosphorus version you can omit the cheeses.
- Ask your dietitian to recommend the rice milk or nondairy creamer brand lowest in phosphorus and potassium.
