I just bought ANOTHER cookbook and this recipe stood out for those of you who miss potatoes and gravy:
1/4 cup each Chopped onions, mushrooms, celery, carrots
1 small clove garlic, minced
1 ounce skinless, boneless chicken breast
1/3 cup flour
2 cans of 14 oz each low sodium chicken broth, defatted
pinches of: thyme, rosemary, sage
Pepper and Salt (optional)
Coat a large no stick saucepan w/spray. Add onions, mushrooms, celery, carrots and garlic. Cook over med heat, stirring constantly for 5 minutes.
Add chicken. Cook, stirring for 1-2 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink. Remove chicken and vegetables, set aside.
Add the flour to the pan, cook over med heat, stirring constantly for 5 minutes or until light tan in color. Remove from heat and gradually whisk in the broth until smooth. Add spices.
Cook over med heat whisking constantly 2-3 minutes, or until thick.
Add the reserved chicken and veggies. Reduce the heat to low, simmer for 5 minutes or until veggies are hot. Sesason to taste with salt and pepper. Puree the finished gravy in a blender or food processor.

Sounds Delicious, Karen! Thank you for posting it. Another option I have found easy (but probably less tasty) is the instant packages of gravy. My 20 month old son LOVES gravy so I make it quite often (it gets the veggies down!). Check your grocery store for the instant powdered varieties. Most of them are fat free, and contain stuff like bouillon, starch, salt, garlic powder, etc. I find them quite tolerable.

Thank you for posting this. I just assumed we could not have gravy, even fat free for some reason. I'm going to check the labels the next time I'm in the store. No more plain mashed potatoes!

I am partial to the onion flavoured gravy as it adds more flavour to the tater.
