Cheesy Chicken Recipes

This filling chicken and cheesy gravy dish is so simple to make, with only five ingredients. Serve with a green salad on the side.

My favorite dish at a local Mexican restaurant is their Chicken Enchiladas with Creamy Green Chile Sauce. I had to try and find a way to lower the fat and sodium so I could enjoy these without the guilt! I tweaked that recipe a bit to lower the sodium and fat, and came up with a winner! My husband and teen daughter gobble these up!

These chicken enchiladas are fast, easy to make, and pack a whopping 52 grams of muscle building protein!

Serve 'em to your friends at your next get together and listen to them rave about the goodness. They will never know they are easy on the waistline!

BTW - These taste even better as leftovers.

This tantalizing slow cooking recipe is perfect for families of 3 & up! Throw everything in the pot mid-morning and come home to a wonderful, melt in your mouth, cheesy, broccoli and rice DINNER EVERYONE WILL ENJOY!!!!

Yummy and rich, serve with a simple steamed vegetable like broccoli. Have fresh sliced strawberries topped with light whipped cream or fat free pudding for desert, rounding out the whole meal for under 500 calories!

Simply delicious and Low carb!!!!

Chicken portions are a great standby when one is looking for a quick meal solution. Prepared in this way, they look golden and appetizing and taste delicious.

Chicken Rice and Peas. Can't go wrong with that.

This is a variation of Campbell's. It is high in sodium, but if the cream soups were switched to low sodium and plain chicken breast was used, it would cut this number substantially. I added some seasoning after it was done. Love the Mrs. Dash seasonings.

Yummy comfort food casserole with velveeta cheese, rice, chicken and veggies.

Chicken breast stuffed with turkey bacon and cheddar cheese. Cheesy tasty goodness.

A really quick and easy cheesy recipe.

This is a great alternative to heavy cream pastas. I usually make this once a week and it reheats the next day incredibly well. LESS THAN 7g fat and ALMOST 7g Fiber per serve!
I also highly suggest you add a large salad to this to complete it as a meal. I don't know about you, but I always find it very easy to over eat any pasta dish, especially if it's baked with cheese. So I usually add a large salad with a little feta and lots of cucumbers, tomatoes, onion and some lemon juice and a touch olive oil. Really fills me up so I don't envy my husband, who chows down 3 servings of Pasta bake easily.

This is my first time making this so please feel free to tweak it and comment!
