1 bay leaf
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper, freshly ground

Parsley Pastry: In a large bowl combine 2 cups flour,
parsley and 1/2 ts salt. With pastry blender or 2
knives, cut in shortening until mixture resembles
peas. Add ice water, a tablespoon at a time, tossing
with a fork until all is moistened. Gather dough into
a ball. Form dough into a disc shape. Wrap in waxed
paper and refrigerate at least 30 minutes.

Stewed Chicken: In a 4 quart saucepan combine chicken,
celery leaves, tarragon, bay leaf, 1 ts salt and 1/4
ts pepper. Add cold water to cover. Bring to a boil
over high heat. Reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 45
minutes to one hour until chicken is very tender.
Remove chicken with tongs and cool. Strain broth and
refrigerate. When chicken is cool enough to handle,
discard skin and remove meat from bones. Cut meat in
pieces. Wrap and refrigerate.

Cream Sauce: Skim fat from top of cold broth. Measure
1/4 cup into medium saucepan, or melt butter. Add
onion and saute until transparent, 3-5 minutes. Stir
in 1/3 cup flour, 1/2 ts salt and 1/4 ts pepper. Mix
well.

Chicken is ideal
for weight loss
and dieting

Healthy eating is far better than strict dieting, and weight loss achieved by a change of lifestyle lasts far longer than 'faddy' diets that are difficult to adopt for long periods.

Cooking more low fat chicken can enable you to lose weight gradually as part of a a controlled and healthy diet.
