We recently moved, so I have been trying to juggle all sorts of things. 

Like unpacking.

Like kids.

Like work.

Like healthy eating.

Like…time!

It was one of those nights where I knew I had a hungry family but I didn’t know what to make or what was in our pantry. 

So I did what just about every mom does. 

Walked slowly, yawning, to the fridge, peeked inside. 

We had some chicken that needed to be cooked up. 

We had some parmesan cheese staring at me. 

I knew we had some spaghetti in the pantry. 

My roommate in college made something like this dish in college during homecoming. 

I remember it being realllllllly good, but it could have been the tap beer. 

I used that as inspiration. 

So, after checking my pantry and my fridge stash, Low Point Chicken Mushroom Bake was created. 

We only had full fat whole milk in the fridge, but I put skim milk in the recipe to bring the points down. 

When I was grabbing the garlic powder, I saw the red and white cooking wine I had and decided to add a bit to this recipe for some extra flavor, but to be honest I really couldn’t taste it. 

My husband said he could taste it a bit, but it would be better if I added more. 

I added a bit more into the recipe, hoping that amount will do the trick. 

If you haven’t yet, check out the Copycat Noodles Pasta Fresca recipe of mine, where I use the white cooking wine too!

I have to say I just basically mixed everything together, sprayed down my dish, and put it in the oven.

It turned out really well!

It was husband and kid approved, but most of all, I really enjoyed this dish, feeling like I wasn’t on a “diet”.

I enjoyed it even more the next day reheated. 

Why is it that sometimes pasta dishes taste better the next day when reheated?

Olive Garden food always does that for me. 

I haven’t had that in a long time though. 

I don’t need it when I can whip stuff up like this!

I did serve this with some garlic breadsticks we had in the freezer, and the breadsticks were just as many points as the dish itself, so if you want a lower point side, fix a salad instead. 

Without further ado, here is the recipe for the delicious Low Point Chicken Mushroom Bake!

Ingredients:

2 Cups cooked, chopped chicken breast

1/8 Cup Light Butter Spread with Canola Oil

1-2 Cups Sliced Mushrooms (I used baby bellas)
