It does not significantly affect the nutritional value if you use up to 2 tablespoons**Makes 6 servings. Approximately 2/3 cup mixture with 1/2 cup rice.This recipe can be made with FAT FREE cream cheese and it saves about 6 grams of fat. However, I feel that the dish benefits from the flavor of the low fat over the fat free.
Sfaturi utile:
Just to clarify for the questions below:First, YES the cream cheese is figured into the totals…if you use FULL FAT cream cheese, the fat content will be considerably higher. But low fat cream cheese really takes the fat down.Second, I haven’t ever tried it with regular Italian dressing…let me know how it turns out!Third, I HIGHLY recommend using the low setting for cooking…it allows the juices from the chicken to really seep into the dressing.
