RECIPE BY Cooking Light

This recipe has a nostalgic appeal that harks back to the 1950s and '60s. If you make it ahead, don't add the baked potato chips until it's time to bake the casserole, or they'll become soggy.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups chopped roasted skinless, boneless chicken breast (about 4 breasts)
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • 1 (8-ounce) can sliced water chestnuts, drained and chopped
  • 1/2 cup low-fat mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Cooking spray
  • 3/4 cup (3 ounces) shredded Swiss cheese
  • 3/4 cup crushed baked potato chips (about 2 ounces)

My husband and I really enjoyed this dish. I used a whole rotisserie chicken (with skin removed) instead of the 4 chicken breasts. I also added a little more green onion and red pepper to the mixture (just chopped up what I had). I thought the dish was delicious and worked really well serving it with a soup or a salad.

I enjoyed this recipe, but I would cut down on the chestnuts a little next time. For being healthy I thought this was a good recipe, but my husband didn't enjoy it.

Very tasty and my kids actually liked it (all except my super picky one). Didn't have four cups of chicken, so I added whole wheat egg noodles. Also left out the lemon. Took longer than 13 minutes to become bubbly though. Next time I'll cover and cook until bubbly, then uncover, top with cheese and chips, and brown to finish.

This was actually really good! We used Celery instead of Water Chesnuts because I read a review that it tasted too crunchy, like salad. So we thought celery would be a lighter "crunch" substitute. We also only had regular Hellman's Mayo....oops! But that made a huge difference! I would definitely make this again! No complaints from the entire family!

Followed advice and 1 Tbsp of lemon juice and celery instead of water chestnuts. That made this a hit with the whole family, good leftovers too.

One of the few Cooking Light recipes that I wouldn't eat the leftovers. It was definitely sour, as the last review says. The bell peppers and water chestnuts seemed out of place. Just not a good one...

Sorry, but this was gross. Similar to other reviews, I found this to have a sour taste, even after cutting back on the mayo. I added some rice to give it more substance, but that didn't help either. Won't be making again.
