    Follow the typical recepie, replace the can of soup with greek yogurt. Use fresh. And whole grain rices. Basicly just be smart with things and alternative ingredients.

    Here is another cheesy chicken & rice casserole recipe I make alllll the time :)


    Info for four servings.


    Ingredients

    Cooking spray
    1 cup chopped onion
    2 garlic cloves, minced
    2 (3 1/2-ounce) bags boil-in-bag brown rice
    1/3 cup dry white wine
    8 skinless, boneless chicken thighs (about 1 3/4 pounds)
    1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    2 cups fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
    3 tablespoons whipping cream
    1/3 cup (1 1/2 ounces) shredded Parmesan cheese

    Preparation

    1. Preheat oven to 450°.
    2. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add onion to pan; sauté 2 minutes. Add garlic; sauté 30 seconds. Remove rice from bags; add to pan. Sauté 30 seconds. Stir in wine; cook 30 seconds or until liquid almost evaporates. Spoon rice mixture in an even layer into a 13 x 9–inch baking dish coated with cooking spray.
    3. Arrange chicken thighs in a single layer over rice mixture; sprinkle evenly with thyme and salt. Combine broth and cream, stirring well; pour over chicken and rice mixture.
    4. Bake at 450° for 15 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake an additional 5 minutes or until chicken is done.

    Haven't tried this but it sounded good. I put it in the recipe calculator and it said 305 calories per serving. Fat free soup and reduced fat or fat free cheese would decrease calories as well.

    Slow Cooker Cheesy Chicken and Rice
    (www.southernplate.com)

    Ingredients

    4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
    1 large onion, chopped (I use Vidalia)
    1 -8 ounce box Zatarain's Yellow Rice Mix, cooked according to directions
    1 cup cheddar cheese
    1 - 10.5 ounce can cream of chicken soup (regular or fat free)
    1 -15 ounce can whole kernel corn, drained
    Instructions

    Place chicken in bottom of slow cooker. Scatter chopped onion over top. Spoon cream soup over top of that. Cover and cook on low 7-8 hours or on high 3-4 hours. A few minutes before serving, add in cooked rice, corn, and cheese. Stir to combine. Serve hot.
