Better Carbquik Pot Pie - 5 1/2 net carbs per serving

There's a recipe on the Carbquik box for pot pie that has a total of 50 grams of net carbs. My version has only 35 total net carbs and tastes much better. It requires very little preparation but cooks for 30 minutes. My recipe calls for "Hood calorie countdown". Locally, it is carried in most grocery stores, next to the milk. If you don't have any Hood, you can substitute a mixture of half heavy cream & half water (roughly the same number of net carbs as Hood but not as good).

Serves 6

Ingredients:
1 13 oz. can of chicken
2 c. Frozen Broccoli (thawed)
1 c. Cheddar Cheese
1 can Campbells mushroom soup
salt and pepper to taste
1 c. Carbquik
1/2 c. Hood Calorie Countdown dairy beverage
1 egg.

Instructions:
Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. In casserole dish, mix chicken (including the can's liquids), broccoli, cheese, soup, salt, and pepper. In large bowl, stir Carbquik, Hood (or cream/water mix), and egg. Spread Carbquik batter on top of chicken-broccoli mixture. Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes or until golden brown.

This recipe looks great. Where do you buy Carbquick? I don't think our local health food stores carry it.

I buy various low carb products including carbquik from netrition.com. The postage is cheap and in my state, I don't have to pay sales tax for purchases made there.

I found fat free and 1/2 fat Hood milk stuff. Which should I get.
Love the site. Thanks.
