Mod de preparare
Pas cu pas

In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, skim milk, and nonfat milk powder until no lumps remain. Set the slurry aside.

Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot or Dutch oven and pour in the chicken broth.

Bring the broth to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes are nearly tender when pierced with a fork.
Aproximativ 12 min.
Nota bucătarului: Don't overcook the potatoes at this stage, as they will continue to cook with the other ingredients.

While the potatoes are cooking, heat the canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Aproximativ 2 min.

Add the chicken pieces to the hot skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned on all sides.

Add the chopped onion and celery to the skillet with the chicken. Sauté for another 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.

Transfer the cooked chicken and vegetable mixture from the skillet into the pot with the simmering potatoes.

Aproximativ 5 min.
