I’m back with another slow cooker crock-pot recipe! Southwest Fiesta Chicken and Rice Casserole packed full of flavor! Slow cooker casseroles are one of my favorite recipes because they are hearty and full of flavor. With recipe is packed with vegetables, chicken, and low-calories.
There are no hidden calories or fats in this recipe. The fat-free cream of chicken, yogurt, and reduced-fat shredded cheese gives it a creamy texture that makes you think that there is a ton of butter in this recipe. Sorry, not this recipe. Only high-quality ingredients.
Healthy Quick and Easy Slow Cooker Chicken Casserole recipe
This meal prep recipe is perfect for dinner or lunch. I like to have it for dinner. I normally pop it in the microwave and add some sriracha chili sauce on top. You can also add some slices of avocado on top if you would like to add some healthy fats to the recipe.
I make 7 servings with his recipe which comes out to around 521 calories. My wife makes one of my servings into 2 servings for her, so that comes out to be around 260 calories for her. You can portion it out however you would like.
