Million Dollar Chicken Casserole

Traditional Million Dollar Chicken Casserole is delicious but typically filled with fat and calories. This version of Million Dollar Chicken Casserole is still delicious, but healthy for you. I’ve replaced the Ritz crackers with bacon and used Zero Point ranch instead of cream of chicken soup. This saves you a lot of points and makes this casserole even more delicious. 

If you’re looking for an easy weeknight dinner, this is it. You can even make it a day ahead if you know you won’t have time the night of. It’s also great for meal prep and freezing. Bake it on a Sunday, and you’ve got 6 lunches prepared for the week. You can stay on track without sacrificing good food. You’ll look forward to your daily lunches of Million Dollar Chicken Casserole.

Different ways to change up this recipe: 

• Use Zero Point Ranch dressing instead of the light ranch. It’ll make each serving 8 points instead of 9 points. 
• You can use non-fat Greek yogurt instead of sour cream to lower the points. It will taste the same. 
• If you don’t like Everything but the Bagel seasoning, you’re welcome to use whatever seasoning you like. Dill would be a great choice – it will really enhance the ranch flavor. 
• You can use turkey bacon instead of regular bacon if you’d like. It’s personal preference. 
• If you’re not a fan of chicken, you can substitute extra lean ground beef or lean ground turkey. 

Tips and Tricks for Making Million Dollar Chicken Casserole: 

• This is a great freeze ahead meal. Bake a few batches of this recipe in alumnum pans, wrap well and store in the freezer for up to 6 months. You can give them away as gifts to new moms, or for someone going through a hard time. To reheat yourself, pull one out the night before and let it thaw in the fridge. When you’re ready for dinner, bake the casserole for about 30 minutes or until heated through. 
• You can bake this a day ahead of time. Just follow the directions up until step 6, but don’t bake it the last 10 minutes. Sprinkle with the cheese and seasoning, cover it with saran warp and refrigerate until you’re ready to bake. The next day, let the casserole come to room temperature while the oven is pre-heating. Bake for 20 minutes, until it’s heated through. 
• Use shredded rotisserie chicken to save time, rather than cooking the chicken yourself. Costco has a delicious pack of pre-shredded, rotisserie chicken that works great in this dish. If you’re using a full rotisserie chicken, make sure to use only the chicken breast so that it doesn’t add points.
