Ingredients

1 large potato, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
FILLING:
1-1/2 pounds chicken tenderloins, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1-1/2 cups fat-free milk
1/4 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

CRUMB TOPPING:
1 cup soft bread crumbs

Stir in flour until blended; gradually add milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Reduce heat; stir in cheeses until melted. Stir in vegetables, seasonings and chicken. Spoon into potato crust.
Combine topping ingredients; sprinkle over chicken mixture. Bake, uncovered, for 40-45 minutes or until bubbly and topping is golden brown. Yield: 6 servings.

I was pleasantly surprised with this recipe. I added some frozen corn to mine, the recipe was easy to follow and accurate.

This is so tasty and filling. It's hard to believe the calorie content is so low. One suggestion: the recipe never states when to add the chicken back to the mixture in the pan and also neglects to tell if the vegetable should be cooked/thawed before putting in casserole dish into the oven.
