When I was a kid my dad was transferred from Dallas to Pennsylvania. I was a preschooler but I can vividly remember replacing my love for tacos with a love for that hearty Amish food. There were a couple of restaurants we went to regularly and the one thing I consistently ordered was the chicken and noodles. We always called chicken pot pie.

Chunks of tender chicken were mixed with noodles and vegetables in a cream sauce that made the whole thing addictive. Enough carbs to keep any normal human sluggish for a month but totally addictive.

I made Amish chicken casserole for my family the other night and was sort of sad that I would have to forgo all of the deliciousness. As I was cooking the chicken I wondered if I could pull some of the ingredients out before adding the sauce and the noodles and recreate the dish in a low carb version.

And I did.

This totally hit the spot for me. Serve it with some faux fried apples and you’ll think you’re in Heaven, I promise.

Be Sure to REDUCE THE SAUCE

Now, let’s talk about the sauce. It’s very important that you simmer the chicken stock to reduce it to about 2 tablespoons before adding the cream. Simmer the cream until it is reduced, too. If you don’t reduce it enough the dish will still taste good but it will be watery. There’s no way to say exactly how long it will take to reduce because some of that has to do with how humid it is, whether you have an electric or a gas stove, etc. All I can say is that you need reduce it until it is almost evaporated because that’s what’s going to make the sauce thick and creamy.

Tony Chachere’s Creole Seasoning is not traditional but it adds a spicy flavor that balances the creamy sauce perfectly.
