It's really a struggle for me to cook things that my hubby likes ever since I started doing my low carb/cal/high protein diet. He adores my southern cooking and just doesn't like very many of my low carb recipes. This is my traditional chicken and rice casserole recipe that I've revamped and made into a low carb/low calorie dish. It has 356 calories and 7 net carbs per serving according to my recipe analyzer. I'll post a picture of the label in the directions. below. To my surprise, hubby actually liked this recipe! You could make this even lighter with the use of fat free soups and cheese.
