I'm not sure if these are ones you already have or not, but here are a few of my faves.

Crockpot Italian Chicken

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (I used 1 lb. bonelss/skinless chicken strips) - 9 pts
1 envelope Italian dressing mix - .8 pts
1/2 c. Water
8 oz. Fat Free Cream Cheese - 5.6 pts
1 can RF Cream of Chicken Soup (I used RF Cream of Mushroom) - 3.9 pts
1 4 oz. can of mushrooms, pieces & stems, drained (can omit if you don't like mushrooms)

So if you get 4 servings out of it, its 5 pts but if you get 5 servings, its 4 pts. I think mine made 5 servings.
Ok this is how the recipe says to do it:
Place chicken in bottom of crockpot. Combined salad dressing mix & water. Pour over chicken & cook on low 3 hours.
Mix soup, cream cheese & mushrooms. Pour over chicken & cook 1 more hour or until chicken is done.
Serve over rice or pasta (but be sure to add the points!).
This is how I did it:
Threw everything into the crockpot at once & cooked on low 9+ hours while at work. And instead of canned mushrooms, I used fresh! Turned out GREAT


Moc – chicken cordon bleu

4 4oz chicken breasts
1 package deli sliced ham (2 to 3 slices for one point, I used deli selects)
4 laughing cow cheese wedges
8 toothpicks
1/2 package shake n bake
cooking spray.

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Pound chicken breasts to about 1/4" thick. Place 2 to 3 slices of ham on breast and one cheese wedge spread on top. Roll and secure with toothpicks. Place edge side down in sprayed baking dish and sprinkle with shake n bake. Bake 35-45 minutes.
Makes a wonderful dinner for only 5 points per chicken breast!


KIM'S EASY MEATLOAF

Note: There have been some issues with sogginess...try one of the following: Don't use all of the juice in the rotel, add more bread, or pour off some of the juice before adding the ketchup to the tops, or whenever you feel like they have too much juice!

1 lb 96% lean ground beef
1 envelope Liptons Onion soup mix
1 can rotel, don't drain (diced tomatoes w/green chilis)
1 can ff cream of mushroom soup
3 slices lf bread, torn into little pieces
Lea & Perrin's to taste (worcestershire sauce)
ketchup to taste

Heat oven to 375. Mix first 5 ingredients together. Distribute evenly into 12 count muffin tin. Poke mixture with a fork. Pour Lea & Perrin's over each one. Bake 15 minutes. Remove from oven and spread a little ketchup over the top of each. Bake another 5 minutes or until done.
I usually turn the oven to broil for a few seconds before I take them out to add a little crispiness to the ketchup crust!
I count them as 1 point each, but if I eat 3, I count it as 4 points. (Technically they are 1.33 each) It's about 16.5 points for the whole recipe. Meat = 12, soup = 3, bread = 1.5
