When most people think of horseradish they automatically think of roast beef, however, horseradish is a far more versatile ingredient than this. In this recipe it makes a gentle but flavoursome sauce for homely casseroled chicken. This is a perfect recipe for those who want to lose weight; chicken has very little fat, and the sauce contains only minimal fat and no sugar. For the perfect low fat meal, serve with steamed new potatoes and broccoli. This recipe serves 2.
