Makeover Chicken Noodle Delight - Recipe

Makeover* Chicken Noodle Delight
Taste of Home - Light & Tasty Magazine

February / March 2008 edition

Ingredients:

4 cups uncooked yolk-free noodles

1 can (10 3/4 oz) reduced-fat reduced-sodium condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted

4 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese, cubed

1 cup (8 ounces) reduced-fat sour cream

1 cup (8 ounces) plain yogurt

1/4 cup fat-free milk

3 tbsp minced fresh parsley or 1 tbsp dried parsley flakes (we use dried parsley)

1 tsp onion powder

1/4 tsp salt

2 cups cubed cooked chicken breast

1 cup crushed reduced-fat butter flavored crackers (about 25 crackers) (We've used both Ritz & Club brand crackers.)

3 tbsp reduced-fat butter, melted

Cooking directions:

1.) Cook noodles to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the soup, cream cheese, sour cream, yogurt, milk, parsley, onion powder and salt. Stir in the chicken.

2.) Drain noodles; toss with chicken mixture. Transfer to a 2-qt. baking dish coated with cooking spray. (We use olive oil in a Misto but I'm sure you could use Pam or spray butter.)

3.) Combine cracker crumbs and butter; sprinkle over casserole. Bake, uncovered, at 3508 for 40-45 minutes or until heated through.

Serves 6.

(We have this with a vegetable side.)

Sawyer & I love this recipe. We don't have it

often, since it's not incredibly healthy, but it's

super yummy.

We normally add extra crackers because we

like the flavor they add.
