HEALTHY CHICKEN & BROCCOLI RECIPES // Pad Thai, Pot Pie & Soup
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 сен 2024
- I haven’t got to 60 and raised three kids without knowing my way around the kitchen! Add to that - I want healthy, low-fat, high-protein meals that the whole family will enjoy. Chicken and broccoli are staples for the fitness enthusiast. Using a rotisserie chicken and frozen broccoli, make it that much faster and more convenient.
Boring? NO! This is definitly not Groundhog Day! You’ll love the fast, creamy chicken + broccoli soup - also great to pack for lunch. Pot pie will satisfy without the high fat pastry, and the Pad Thai - well, it’s a keeper!
Don’t forget to check out @lowcalrecipes98 on Instagram for the Magic Protein Bread recipe (and Boo’s famous Ridiculous Brownies!).
Please let me know how your meals turned out - I’d really love to hear from you! I am not a stickler for exact quantities (which is why I’m NOT a baker!) and I welcome using options depending on what you have on hand. If you like something - add it. Hate garlic? Leave it out. You get the idea. Make it yours!

EASY PEASY CHICKEN + BROCOLLI POT PIE
INGREDIENTS
-Splash of olive oil
-Handful of mushrooms, sliced
-1 or 2 carrots, chopped
-1 or 2 celery sticks, chopped
-2 garlic cloves, chopped
-1 onion, chopped
-500g or 1lb frozen broccoli, thawed
-1/2 rotisserie chicken, chopped (no skin)
-1 tsp dried thyme or 1 tbsp fresh thyme (not the stems)
-Salt and pepper (to taste)
-4 tbsp or 60 ml flour
-2 cups milk of choice (I used almond milk)
-1 10-inch tortilla with a hole cut in the centre
-Egg white to brush the crust
DIRECTIONS
1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or sauté pan
2. Add onions and then in a minute or two, add other veggies (other than broccoli). Allow veggies to soften.
3. Sprinkle flour over veggies and cook for 3-4 minutes, scraping it all around. It will look dry - don’t let it burn onto the bottom. You will smell the flour cooking.

5. Add chopped chicken and broccoli and combine mixture.
6. Spray a 9-inch pie dish and pour in the pie filing. Top with tortilla.

Can confirm these recipes were all delicious 👌🏼
You’ve always been indispensable in the test kitchen, even as a little fella, ready to try something for the greater good! And there have been some memorable bombs! 🤣 💣
You wouldn't believe how long I've been waiting for someone to do a "How to chicken and broccoli the right way" vid instead of just crying about it, not even will t or dr doucette, they always go booohooooo...The lord of the depths be praised for mama is here to save us
OMG, I love you Oscar! Thank you so much!! 😂 Please report back, in your own special way, on how your meals turned out, I’d love to hear about it!
@@MamaTenny thanks mom, for sure I... Will... lol I'm totally stealing that pie idea, seems like a tasty way to eat some volume and lose some fat
For a moment, I thought that was a rare sighting of Papa Tenny smashing the alarm clock. LOL. The food looks great! What a fun vid.
Well, Bill Murray and my hubby are both pretty funny guys but Paul is WAY cuter! 😂
Me too LOL!
Mama tenny thank you, for your superb videos. Found you from will tennyson’s channel. He’s awesome and I and another million people admire him.
And I do too! Thank you for watching! 😘
Another GREAT, practical video! Thanks, Mama Tenny!
Yay! Thanks Melissa! Let me know when you try one! 🍗🥦
Another amazing video Nancy!!! Tomorrow night chicken & broccoli on the menu!! Now just have to decide which one to make!! ❤️

Love simple ingredient recipes with lots of flavor.
Thank you.
Thank you Yvette, I’d love to hear back if you get a chance to make something! 😘
Solid video. All looked very appetising.
In the second recipe, next time try to slowly dissolve the flower in warm milk. Then add it to the pan. The flower won't stick as much and it will cook it anyway.
Thanks for the suggestion Rafael, I’ll give that a try! Thanks for watching!
Wowza can’t wait to try!
This post goes under my hubby’s name oddly. It’s Debbie writing
These are outstanding recipes Nancy . I adore your station ! Keep up the great content.

Yay, thanks for joining me Rosie!! 😘
You forgot to mention your son's favourite combo.. black coffee and doughnuts
😂 so true!! 🍩☕️
@@MamaTenny By the way.. thank you for that mayo video.. I quit eating that stuff since I came across Will's channel.. I've been wanting my family to quit eating that cuz they go "you eat salad , we eat salad . How come you are lean and we are not?. " Its been had to tell them that a tablespoon of mayo has more calories compared to a tablespoon of greek yoghurt , some vinegar and mustard.. Just sent them that video and now that mayo jar lives next to the shampoo bottles..
@@Create_o_raptor haha, I love it, thank you so much for that Dino! And I love the fact that they say it’s “just salad”! I have a video coming up about things people order in restaurants that they THINK is a good choice but maybe not! Appreciate you being here and watching! 😊
@@MamaTenny Looking forward to it!!
I like it thank you, it's like #cooking_pleasure

CHICKEN & BROCCOLI FOR LIIIIIIIIFE 💪🤤💪

Algorithm comment
Not sure if any vegans/vegetarians are watching this video from the title, but these recipes would be so easy to modify with tofu instead of chicken! For the first one, soft/silken tofu is sooo good in soups (pro tip: freeze before using so the tofu really soaks up the broth). For the 2nd recipe, firm tofu just needs to be pressed to remove most of the moisture to avoid a soggy pot pie. For the third recipe, a tofu scramble is a good sub for eggs (or sub beans or another protein source). For subbing the chicken, I think if you soaked the tofu in the sauce before adding, it would be amazing! Thats the one I'm going to try first! But these all look great!
Thank you for the fantastic suggestions Sam!! I truly appreciate it!
@@MamaTenny Thanks for the fantastic video! Been a fan of you and will for a while now. I just love what a balanced and healthy approach your family has towards food and nutrition!
Broccolicious 🥦
I like the channel. With so many channels i have a 10 sub rule. Which means i tossed 64 subs. You made it in to my 10 sub list. Congrats!
I am truly honoured Daniel, thank you! I will try my best to keep my channel in your coveted 10 rotation! At this point I’m releasing one video a week, alternating between a short workout and a cooking or “other” health/fitness video. I’m glad you found me!😊
I’ve never eaten pad Thai in my life but that looked delicious
Give it a try Brandon!
Love this. Love you, your gorgeous
Wow, thank you! Really appreciate you being here!😘
“Don’t smell it because it really smells gross” is great advice.
I’m here for you Lena, smelling it so you don’t have to 😂👃🏼
I always look forward to a video from you! Perfection
Thank you so much! 🥦❤️🍗
That soup and bread looked so good, would be perfect for today. It's cold and rainy out here in Arizona today.
And so easy!! Thanks for watching Elliot! 🥣
@@MamaTenny I made the soup tonight! I added a fresh jalapeno while I sauteed the veggies to spice it up a bit. Very tasty.
Thanks for the videos, they're amazing!
Love love love this doesn’t use dairy , cream soups left my life years ago … glad to have them back 🙌🙌
Thanks for the delicious recipes!!
Very practical, delicious and funny!

That chicken broccoli soup seems to hit the spot . These are really innovating boring broccoli and chicken. I will be trying all of these and tag you . Shout out to baby boo low cal recipes
Can’t wait to see them Priscilla!!! I don’t think Boo Brownie has been here yet but she certainly deserves the love, the bread was 👍🏼 (I made it better than Will did 😂)
Hi MamaTenny, Wonderful ideas for chicken and broccoli that isn't "just" chicken and broccoli. 💕
Thank you Barb! So happy you’re here with me again! 😊
I love pad Thai. I just made this recipe (yes for breakfast) and it is super delicious! Gonna do the soup for dinner.
