Help me make this recipe healthy! Please!

3-4 grilled chicken breasts, shredded
1 bag of frozen broccoli
1 cup lite mayo
1 can reduced fat cream of chicken soup
3 cups fat free cheddar cheese
Low sodium stuffing or pieces of light, 35 calorie bread in pieces

I hope I helped!

They make non-fat Miracle Whip that tastes great.

I would use light miracle whip and the fat free cream of chicken soup. Then cut the cheese back by half. It will still be high in sodium but with those ingredients I think it is unavoidable.

If I was making this recipe I would substitute clear chicken broth for cream of chicken soup, skim milk mozzarella, silken tofu or no-fat cottage cheese for the cheddar cheese (personally I'm not a big fan of the color agent in cheddar cheese), and silken tofu or low-fat miracle whip for regular miracle whip. I'd also substitute Stove Top chicken stuffing with whole wheat or multigrain bread torn into bite size pieces and tossed in sage, Herbamare and freshly ground black pepper. Of course once you start modifying recipes they never taste the same (kind of like trying to eat soy yogurt after you've had the real thing - all you taste is the beans), but at least it's a healthier alternative.

For one, substitute the Mayo with the Olive Oil Mayo. With this swap you'll loose the saturated fat, gain healthier fats and some carbs, not to mention half the calories.

I'd swap out the Cream of Chicken with the Campbell's Healthy Request version of the Cream of Chicken. It will save you about 80 calories per can, and will cut your fat and sodium in half.

For your chicken, be sure it's boneless / skinless chicken and then, trim the tiny bit of fat off before you cook it. I buy the tasty-bird frozen boneless skinless breasts and they come with small piece of tendon/fat on them. Who knows what calorie / fat values it has but it can't be good for anything but your taste buds.

Broccoli - dare go fresh! Steam it until it's tender and still VERY bright green. It will take just a few extra minutes.

For your stuffing, make your own. Stuffing is nothing more than bread, onions, celery (or whatever you want to throw in there) and some chicken stock. Look up a recipe and give it a try using some of the Sara Lee Delightful multigrain or whole wheat bread. 45 calories per slice. My wife turned me on to this bread and it's wonderful for low cal option. Get away from the processed food, lets do this thing right If making your own is totally out of the question, then read some labels and look for some low cal options.

For your cheese, just look for a part skim version possibly (if mozzerella). Otherwise I wouldn't change this as I agree with others that fat free cheeses are just not right (taste wise) especially when melting.

Let us know what you did and how it turned out.

if you like the tangyness of the miracle whip, try using half greek yogurt and half low fat sour cream instead? That way you still get the creamyness and a little bite without as many calories

i've used this recipe before and it's great!

P.S. Forgot about the stuffing... I'm not sure what the difference in nutritional info is (you can check the labels in the store) but Stove Top makes a Whole Wheat chicken flavor now - it's only in the box but I think one box would be about the same as 1/2 of a canister. They also have a low sodium version if you're watching that.
