Ingredients

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced (about 6 cups)
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
¾ cup whole-milk plain Greek yogurt
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground pepper
½ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 cups shredded cooked chicken breast
2 cups cooked long-grain brown rice
1 ½ cups coarsely crushed crinkle-cut potato chips
Chopped fresh chives for garnish

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat an 8-inch square (2-quart) baking dish with cooking spray; set aside. Melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onions; cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent and starting to brown, about 20 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook, stirring often, until the onions are very tender and brown throughout, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat.
Combine cream cheese, yogurt, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder and cayenne in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Fold in chicken, rice and the cooked onions. Spoon the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with crushed potato chips and cover with foil.
Bake until bubbly, about 30 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking until the topping is crispy and lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Garnish with chives, if desired.

To make ahead

Prepare through Step 2 and refrigerate for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 1 month (thaw in the refrigerator overnight before baking).

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
