Chicken Casserole

Ingredients (lighter):

  • 4 cups cooked chicken breast — 0 points
  • 4 slices turkey bacon (instead of regular bacon) — about 1 point per slice → 4 points
  • 5 cups broccoli florets or 1 lb frozen spinach — 0 points
  • 3 cloves garlic — 0 points
  • 1 cup light ranch dressing (look for 1-2 points per 1/4 cup) — approx 6 points total
  • ½ cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese — about 4 points
  • ½ cup shredded part-skim cheddar cheese — about 4 points

Topping (lighter):

  • ¼ cup shredded part-skim mozzarella — 2 points
  • ¼ cup shredded part-skim cheddar — 2 points

Points estimate:

  • Turkey bacon: 4 points
  • Light ranch dressing: 6 points
  • Cheese inside + topping (1/2 + 1/2 cup reduced to 1/4 + 1/4 cup): 4 + 4 + 2 + 2 = 12 points
  • Chicken + veggies + garlic: 0 points

Total: 4 + 6 + 12 = 22 points total
