Fabulous! I make the original Cooking Light recipe, which has only 321 calories per serving and uses low-fat mayo, reduced-fat sour cream, 3/4 cup shredded Swiss Cheese, and only 2 oz of potato chips, as well as a can (8oz) of water chestnuts (drained and chopped. My whole family loves this casserole.

Made for dinner last night...My 3yr old didn't like it but that is not saying much; DH and I did! tasted a little like chicken salad and the chips added a very good salty crunch to it. Was very quick and easy! I boiled the chicken breasts and then shredded. Will make again!

This is a nice casserole for a quick weeknight dinner. Loved the potato chip and cheese topping. I baked it at 350 for 15 minutes and I think it would have been better cooked a little longer. All in all a recipe we enjoyed - thanks for posting it!
