HEART HEALTHY COOKING CLASS - January 2003

Blueberry Crumble

3 cups fresh blueberries

1/4 cup frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed

1 tablespoon sugar

1/2 cup oatmeal

1/4 cup whole wheat flour

2 tablespoons brown sugar

2 tablespoons margarine, cut into small pieces

Preheat oven to 375°. Combine first 3 ingredients in an 8 inch square baking dish. Set aside. Combine oatmeal, flour, and brown sugar in a bowl; cut in margarine with a pastry blender, until mixture resembles coarse meal. Sprinkle over blueberries. Bake for 30 minutes. Top with low-fat frozen yogurt.

Chicken and Dumplings

3 chicken breast halves (boneless, skinless)

2 1/2 cups water

1 1/2 teaspoons chicken bouillon

1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning

1/8 teaspoon pepper

1 medium carrot, peeled, halved lengthwise, and sliced

1 stalk celery, thinly sliced

1/2 cup chopped onion

1 cup frozen green peas

1/2 cup skim milk

1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons unbleached flour

Dumplings:

1 1/2 cups unbleached flour

1 teaspoon sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

3/4 cup nonfat buttermilk

Rinse the chicken and place the chicken, water, bouillon granules, poultry seasoning, and pepper in a 4 quart pot. Bring to a boil over high heat. Then reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer for 25 - 30 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and the juices run clear. Remove the pot from the heat. Remove chicken for pot with a slotted spoon, reserving the liquid. Arrange the chicken on a plate to cool slightly.

Pour the cooling liquid into a measuring cup. There should be 3 cups. Add water if necessary. Return the broth to the pot. Cut chicken into pieces and return to the pot. Add carrots, celery, and onion to broth. Place over high heat, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are almost tender. Add the peas to the pot.

Combine the milk and flour in a jar with a tight-fitting lid, and shake until smooth. Pour the flour mixture into the pot, and cook, stirring constantly, for about two minutes, or until the broth is thickened and bubbly.

To make the dumplings, combine the flour, baking powder, and sugar in a medium-sized bowl, and stir to mix well. Stir in the buttermilk, and drop heaping teaspoonfuls of batter onto the simmering stew. Cover and simmer over low heat for 10 - 12 minutes, or until the dumplings are fluffy and cooked through. Serve hot.
