      I used 2 1/2 cups but if you feel it was too runny then I would reduce it to 2 cups. The yogurt contains quite of bit of water and every brand can vary so that may have caused it to be more watery. Allowing it to cool for 15-20 minutes will also help the rice absorb some of the water as well. Otherwise it would be too dry.

    Is this chicken already cooked or is it raw?

        Thank you for the info. One more question…after adding peas do you recover with foil for the remaining time?

    Such a fabulous recipe. Easy to down size (I’m single). Fabulous flavor I used a chicken and a mushroom soup. Then add extra jar of mushrooms and a bag of broccoli with the peas to bulk up the servings. Thanks for this recipe

    Hi, did you use nonfat greek yogurt or plain nonfat or would it make a difference also if I used 98% fat free cream of mushroom would it change the smart points, would using brown rice change cooking time and points?

    thanks sounds delicious

      I used nonfat Greek yogurt, but either one of them would work. IF you substituted it for the 98% fat free mushroom it increases the overall points by 5. Brown Rice higher in points depending on the brand used. You would want to check the points on the packaging. The cooking time would be the same as the white rice. Thank you

    I have made this recipe for years and my family loves it. The one difference is you cut the chicken breasts into pieces. My recipes calls for leaving them whole but then the rice underneath sometimes comes out not done enough because it did n’t have any sauce on it.

    Hi, do.you.have the calorie, fat, sugar, carbs info so I can track this meal on the WW app? Thanks!

      Hi Suzette, the way the points are calculated is based off the ingredients used and importing the ingredients into the recipe builder on the WW app and updating the serving size.
      I have added the nutritional info as well..it’s at the bottom of the recipe card. However, please note the nutritional info was not used to calculate the WW points. The reason for this-there 0 point foods that are included in the recipe that don’t need to be counted but are included in the nutritional info.
