This sounds extremely yummy, but holy cow!! Between the 1721calories, 1236mg sodium, 35g saturated fat alone the fact of this nutritional is based on an individual serving is insane!! You're going to keel over dead of a coronary heart attack!! I'm sorry but my own health I'm passing on this. There's GOT to be a healthier way to make this

  Yeah there is....use no fat cheese or non fat cottage cheese and no fat dressing (or mustard/rice vinegar/ oregano). Y could also use chicken breast instead of thighs

  I think these numbers are for the whole meal not individual servings so divide by 6
