One of the best tasting low calorie dish is called Low Calorie yet Delicious Chicken and Baby Dumplings from www.recipezaar.com. It is simple, very easy to make and tastes divine.

You will need the following ingredients:
    * 4 skinless chicken breast halves
    * 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
    * 3 cups chicken stock
    * 1/2 cup coarsely chopped onion
    * 1 cup sliced carrot
    * 1 cup sliced leek
    * 1 1/2 cups quartered mushrooms
    * 2 teaspoons baking powder
    * 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
    * 1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
    * 1/2 cup nonfat milk

Directions

   1. I like to put 3 cups of water on the stove to simmer, and add my chicken to cook while I mix and chop everything else. Add salt, pepper, and anything else you like if you would like to use this simmering liquid as your chicken stock later. Otherwise, quickly poach the chicken and use the canned stock.
   2. While the chicken is cooking, prepare all of your veggies, chopping, quartering, etc.
   3.  By the time the chopping is done, the chicken should be ready to come out of the pot. Take it out and let it cool.
   4. Mix 1/4 cup flour with 1/2 cup chicken stock. Add the liquid slowly to avoid lumps.
   5. Heat 2-1/2 cups chicken stock, if it isn’t hot already. Add all your chopped veggies and cover. Keep on medium heat.
   6. While the veggies are cooking a bit, start pulling your chicken breasts apart. It should be in chunky shreds when you are done with it. Discard any bones.
   7. Stir in the flour/stock mixture to the pot of broth and veggies. It will start to thicken.
   8. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup flour with baking powder, parsley, poultry seasoning, and milk. Stir just enough to moisten.
   9. Add the chicken shreds to the stock.
  10. Use a wet teaspoon and scoop up little bits of the dough you made in step 9. Drop them gently into the simmering broth. Reduce heat, cover tightly, and let simmer for an additional 15 minutes. The little dough balls will puff up significantly during cooking.
  11. You can serve the dish with black pepper or not. It depends if you want to make it a little spicy.
