     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

     Love this chicken casserole. Meanwhile on a low card diet did this for whole family. They loved it. Is very tasty. I served to them with rice but I ate it as is coming out of the oven, very filling and savory. Makes 4 plates as a side dish. I would say only 2 servings as a main. If you make this as - 3/30/19

     Really easy to modify this dish. Went with a coconut lime flavor for the chicken and opted out with the mayo. Used raw spinach and forgot to mix the cheese mix in so I dusted the top with it. Covered the top with foil while it baked. Super yummy. Will add onion and mushrooms next go around. - 7/31/17

     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
