Mexican Chicken Casserole

[Chellemetime 299]

This is something I made last night for dinner. My husband and daughter loved it and my son came over and ate 2 helpings. For those not on a "diet", they could eat it with some tortilla chips and it would be good too. I'm not big on measuring so I'm just going to give you the ingredients because it's simple and easy to make.

Mexican chicken Casserole

Non Stick Spray (I used Olive Oil Pam)

chicken Breast Cut into cubes

Chopped Onion

Chopped Bellpepper

Mushrooms

Comino

Cilantro

Chives (Optional)

Mild Red Enchilada Sauce

Non-Fat Plain Greek Yogurt

2% Mexican Blend or Monterey Jack cheese

Spray pan with Non-stick spray. Over medium high heat, saute the chicken breast, onion, bellpepper, mushrooms, comino, cilantro and chives together until the chicken is done and the vegetables are soft. Add enchilada sauce and Greek yogurt to make a creamy sauce. It should be light red in color but not pink unless you like it really light. Cover and allow it all to simmer for about 5 minutes on medium low heat. Top with cheese, remove from heat and cover to allow cheese to melt. Serve with more greek yogurt as a substitute for sour cream.

Let me know what yall think. I crave Mexican food and this really filled the void for me.

I'll have to give this a try. Just no cilantro ... ick.

BTW, comino = spanish for cumin

I mean I don't eat a lot of it and sadly no chips anymore... But I put it on a turkey burger or chicken...or hell even a spoon

I'm only 8 weeks out and I heard it has too much fat. Maybe I'm wrong. OMG, if I can have avacado in general, that would be awesome!

It does have fat but a "good" fat and if you chart what you eat just work it into your daily calories

And such.
