A year of slow cooking!

I found this great website through my cousin Jessica (not jessie this is my moms side) crockpot365.blogspot.com. Anyway, this website is great and I have found some really yummy stuff from soups, main dishes,complete meals (in the crockpot), and dessert. My new favorite is the Chicken Cordon Bleu. It is pretty healthy because you don't bread and fry it. Plus, you could use "Heart Healthy" or " Low Sodium" cream of chicken soup (or none at all just add a little chicken broth in the bottom) Here is the recipe:

Chicken Cordon Bleu
--4 chicken breast halves, pounded thin
--4-8 slices of ham
--4-8 slices of Swiss cheese--can of your favorite cream-of-something soup
--2 T low fat milk
--1/4 t salt
--1/4 t black pepper

The Directions. Use a 6 or 4qt crock pot depending on how many you are making. Spray crockpot with cooking spray.Pound chicken breasts flat (put them in a ziplock before you pound so chicken juice doesn't spray all over the kitchen)Put a slice of the ham and a slice of the swiss cheese on the chicken breast and roll it up. Put it into the crockpot, seam side down. If desired, top with another piece of ham and cheese. Continue with the other pieces. It's okay to stagger-stack the chicken. It will still cook nicely for you. open can of cream-of soup. Pour into crockpot. Put the 2T of low fat milk into your empty can and swirl it around to get the remaining stuck on good stuff. Pour that in, too.Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 4-5. This is done when the chicken is cooked through and has begun to brown on top.

This was delightful. David and Chandler loved it so you know it has to be good. I served it with steamed asparagus, fruit salad and rolls.
