Chicken Cordon Bleu-hoo-hoo (5.5 Points)

4-6 chicken breasts (pounded out thin) •
4-6 pieces of ham •
4-6 slices of Swiss or mozzarella cheese •
1 can cream of mushroom soup (can use any cream soup) •
1/4 cup milk

Put ham and cheese on chicken. Roll up and secure with a toothpick. Place chicken in the crockpot so it looks like a triangle /_\ Layer the rest on top. Mix soup with the milk; pour over top of chicken. Cover and cook on low for 4 hours or until chicken is no longer pink. Serve over noodles with the sauce it makes. Note: Its the best recipe I've tried so far, very flavorful.
5-6 pts. , depending on the size of the chicken breast. I used a 3 oz chicken breast (3 pts.) 96% fat free ham (.5 pts), 2% moz cheese (1 pt.). Then when you add the cream of mushroom soup (98% ff) and 1/4 c. milk (fat free) and divide by the 6 servings I had in the crockpot, I only came up with about 1 pt. for that (at most). Total = 5.5 pts.


Pineapple Upside Down Cake
(are you ready for this? It is ridiculously easy. This is NOT an april fool’s day joke)
1 box angel food cake
1 can crushed pineapple, drained
1 pan
Cool whip, if you please

Take a pan. Spray with Pam. Pour pineapple. Dump cake mix. Mix. Bake according to directions.
12 servings= 1 point a piece.
