Turkey or Chicken Cordon Blue--Weight Watchers

Mimi in Maine's Note:

This is one that my daughter makes that is delicious. It came from an older Weight Watchers Cookbook. It has only 4 points per serving. Even you non-WW friends will like it. You may use chicken breasts that you pound out into a cutlet. I prefer the chicken to the turkey.

This was outstanding! I was looking for a recipe for dinner and came across this one. All I had was a bag of the flash-frozen chicken breasts, so I wasn't hopeful that it would turn out great. But, wow, the chicken turned out moister and juicier than any chicken I've ever made! And the mushrooms, onion, and ham mixture was so tasty! A winner that I will definitely be making again. Thanks Mimi!

Made as directed using chicken but not pimento because I didn't have any. This was a bit on the bland side. Maybe double the poultry seasoning? On the new Points Plus program, this equals 6 points per serving. Not sure if we will make this again or not.
