(Chicken, Broccoli and Peas)  Let them heat up and wait until right before the liquid turns into a thick gravy.  

Make a crust, using the recipe from the Pecan pie below.  Feel free to make one whole recipe if you want a bottom and top crust or cut the recipe in half for just a top crust.

Healthy Pecan Pie

This is one of my favorite desserts.  But with the the amount of sugar and calories in a normal pecan pie, I sadly pass on it.  Well, NO MORE!  Time to enjoy this heavenly dessert!
