Low Carb Chicken Spinach Casserole

Introduction

With 7 grams of carbs per creamy serving of this casserole, adding bread or pasta just seems like overkill. With 7 grams of carbs per creamy serving of this casserole, adding bread or pasta just seems like overkill.
Number of Servings: 4

Ingredients

    Spinach, fresh, 1 package (10 oz)
    Reduced Fat Mayo with Olive Oil, 5 tbsp

    Chicken Breast, no skin, 10 oz
    Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 1 tbsp

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spritz an 8-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Combine 10 oz. of cooked, cubed chicken breast or thighs with 10 oz. spinach in a mixing bowl. If using frozen spinach, thaw and thoroughly drain first. Fold in 5 oz. of Greek yogurt, 5 tbsp of low fat mayonnaise, 1/4 tsp. garlic powder, 1 tbsp EVOO and a few twists of the pepper grinder.

In a separate bowl, mix together 1/4 cup reduced fat Feta cheese and 3 oz. low fat shredded mozzarella cheese. Add 1/4 cup cheese mixture to the chicken and spinach and mix well. Spread evenly in the baking dish and sprinkle the rest of the cheese mixture on top.

    Just made this and it is very good. And to those saying it is not low-carb --- dishes CAN BE both low-carb AND low-fat. This one is both. The South Beach Diet stresses BOTH low-fat AND low-carb and the weight falls off! :) - 3/1/13

    It is not low carb because, in low carb cooking you always, without exception, use full fat ingredients. That is the whole point of low carb. I made it with full fat sour cream, it's low carb and delicious, thanks - 2/11/13

    Great recipe! I cut the recipe in half and added a tablespoon of olive oil on top after baking, and broiled for two minutes, to brown slightly. - 2/10/13

    Cooking as we speak - it smells delicious! I used the olive oil and minced garlic to saute the chicken in. I was looking for a recipe that included all of the above ingredients, (basically a low carb version of a Greek chicken dish). I'm confused as to why one poster said this is not low carb? - 8/10/12

    This was really good. I didn't have greek yogurt so I substituted light sour cream. I also substituted fresh Mozzerralla and used 2 cloves of garlic. I Used the olive oil to grease my baking dish. I used fresh baby spinach 6 ounce. Was watery but drained a little then mix. so creamy and yummy - 3/28/12
