How can this recipe be considered healthy? Just one serving has 1/3 of your daily calories, 123 mg of cholesterol and 1,164 mg of sodium!!! Just because it's lower in fat doesn't magically make it healthy!

This is def a family favourite! :) It's a lil fatty so I only make it once every 2 weeks.... we've not once had leftovers. mmm DELISH! Instead of buying Monterey Jack & Cheddar Cheese I just buy a bag of Mexican Taco Cheese and it makes this recipe twice as good!!!

i thought it was rather blah. lacked flavor. if i was to make it again, which i probably won't, i'd add some hot sauce or chili powder to the soup mixture. maybe some canned corn too.

I always read for sodium content, but that is ME. Others may have to watch their fat intake, etc. So, take what you want from a recipe, pass on the others, but don't expect them to be tailored to just what YOU need. If I want lower sodium, I go to low sodium recipe section, not the make-over section. With the hundreds of thousands of recipes on the web, no one can go without a good recipe tailored to THEIR needs. Have a happy day.

Love this great idea to using leftover chiken and making a new change in menu! The low fat items DID NOT take away from the flavor. I will make this again, and again....

I'm with crbabjab...I always check the nutritional info before I try a new recipe. Not sure how this comes in under "Light and Tasty". Might be tasty - certainly NOT light!
