    I put mine in with 1 cup water, potatoes, carrots, celery and onions.

    It would have been a nice roast, but DH came home and added 4 cups of water thinking my chicken soup had dried up! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    I roasted a turkey breast today and it is delish!

    I don't know how many calories, but if you substitute plain yogurt for the sour cream it should turn out just as good, and have a lot fewer calories!:wink: Just an idea:bigsmile: I noticed it seems to have the skin on, and I would rip that right off before browning!

    Lisa, What would the calorie count be if you used plain yogurt in place of sour cream, and without skin on the chicken?

    4 lbs of chicken and 2 pounds of potatoes sure seems like it should make more than 6 servings to me!

    When I calculated the calories (http://recipes.sparkspeople.com/recipe-calculator.asp), I put in 4 lbs of boneless skinless chicken breast instead of the chicken. When I changed it low fat yogurt, the numbers come out like this:
    Cal: 605.2
    Total Fat: 2.1g
    Sat Fat: 2.1g
    Polyun: 1.5g
    Monoun: 4.4g

    Sodium: 1007.9mg
    Potassium: 1912mg
    Total Carbs: 48.1g
    Dietary Fiber: 4.6g
    Sugars 13g
    Protein: 76.8g
    Vit A: 229.1%
    Vit C: 70.4%
    Calcium: 15.6%
    Iron 23.7%

    I also ran it with 12 servings (about 5 oz of meat, and just over 2 oz of potatoes), and it pretty much cut everything in half (duh). But I did notice that I had a typo with the Total Fat. It should be 9.6g.
