Chicken Enchilada Casserole - YUMMM!!

Last night, my husband and I tried this recipe from EatBetterAmerica.com:

It was DELICIOUS!!

We made some modifications that increased the calories and fat just a little, but I think it made it taste even better. We doubled the brown rice (an extra 1/4 cup) because the chicken mixture was a little soupy. We also topped the finished product with a diced fresh tomato and a can of sliced black olives (which does increase the sodium, unfortunately).

I thought it was so awesome, that I just had to share. Here is the calorie count including our modifications.

1 Serving (1/3 of recipe)
Calories: 314
Fat: 7g
Saturated Fat: 1g
Trans Fat: 0g
Cholesterol: 30mg
Sodium: 1050mg
Carbs: 44g
Fiber: 6g
Sugar: 6g
Protein: 20g
Vitamin A: 38%
Vitamin C: 37%
Calcium: 16%
Iron: 8%

Adding the black olives increased the sodium up from 880mg, so feel free to leave those off if you'd like (that also saves a couple grams of fat). But if you're a black olive lover like me, I think it's worth it.

Seriously, try this dish. You'll be pleasantly surprised!

Oh! And I also put it into the food database under Chicken Enchilada Casserole (w/ double rice, tomato and black olive).

Any idea what us Brits could use as a substitute for the soup mentioned in the recipe?

I think any vegetable soup would work. Then maybe add a little more seasoning if necessary.

That looks good -- I am always trying to find new ways to cook chicken, because we eat a LOT of it. It's cheap!
