• I couldn't believe that this dish clocked in at an incredibly low 175 calories per serving. If you don't think it will be filling enough for you, add a cup of cooked rice and it's still only 335 calories. Or double the amount of chicken and it's only 290 calories. I've always loved this dish, but now I like it even better!
