Steps:
- Heat oil over medium/high heat in a medium skillet. Add onion and garlic and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. I like mine to be a bit under-sauteed, to keep a bit of their crunch.
- Once sauteed, add the onion and garlic to a slow cooker over high heat. Add in all other ingredients except for tortillas and garnishes. Stir to combine.
- Heat on high, covered, for 2-3 hours, or on low for 4-5 hours.
- Before serving, prepare the tortilla crisps: In a small saucepan, heat the canola oil over medium/high heat.
- Spray each tortilla with olive oil and sprinkle with the taco seasoning. Use a pastry brush to spread out the taco seasoning evenly.
- Using a pizza cutter, cut each tortilla into 1/2 inch strips.
- Cook the strips in batches, about 2-4 minutes or until browned. Some of the taco seasoning will come off into the oil, and that's okay.
- Using a slotted spoon, remove the strips and allow to drain on a paper towel.
- When ready to serve the soup, serve garnished with extra cilantro, low fat sour cream, jalapeños, and tortilla strips. Or any of your favorite toppings!
- Enjoy!

SKINNY CHICKEN BROCCOLI CASSEROLE RECIPE - (4.2/5)
Provided by Tabatha
Number Of Ingredients 8
Steps:
- Instructions 1. You need to cook your chicken and cut it into bite sized(ish) pieces - this is how I do it. Some people boil or bake, but for this recipe I cut mine up (with scissors!) and brown in a skillet. It's just faster, and with an 18-month old screaming for dinner, speed is key. Any method will work though. Do what it is best for you. 2. Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces. Yes, I use scissors (these are chicken specific scissors to avoid contamination). I use scissors to cut virtually everything. Even pizza. I can thank my mom for that. 3. Place pieces of chicken in your skillet and cook until there is no more pink in the centers. This is clearly over one pound of chicken. Boneless/Skinless breasts always seem to come in two poundish sized packages so I cook the entire amount and freeze half so I can skip this step next time 4. In a small baking dish combine 2 tablespoons of light mayo 5. One can of reduced fat cream of mushroom soup. (There is no possible way to get a picture of this that doesn't look like a blob coming out of a can, I'll spare ya) 6. a bag of frozen broccoli 7. a 1/2 cup shredded cheese 8. one pound of cooked bite-sized chicken 9. Mix everything together and level. Be careful mixing, your dish will be pretty full. But I'd rather be careful mixing than dirty another a dish I'll have to clean! 10. Now, this next step is optional - but I did it once and it stuck. If you have any sort of crackers crumble about 1/4 cup over the top of the mixture to add some crunch. In this case, I had reduced fat cheese-its on hand. 11. bake at 350°F for 20-25 minutes Calories: 310
Tips:
- Consider using a slow cooker liner to make cleanup easier.
- If you don't have a slow cooker, you can cook this recipe in a covered baking dish in a 350°F oven for 2-3 hours, or until the beef is cooked through.
- Feel free to experiment with different types of beans, corn, and salsa. You can also add other ingredients like diced bell peppers, chopped onions, or shredded cheese.
- Serve the casserole with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, or shredded cheese.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
