WEIGHT WATCHERS CHICKEN STROGANOFF FOR THE CROCK POT - 4 POINTS
This is one of the many recipes that I wrote down while attending my Weight Watchers meetings. Very easy to throw together in the morning and have a wonderful meal when you get home from work. The original recipe calls for 98% fat-free cream of mushroom soup but I prefer the chicken. Either one can be used interchangeably.

Tips:

- If you don't have a bottle of white wine on hand, you can use chicken broth instead. Just add an extra tablespoon of lemon juice.
- Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Be careful not to overcook the chicken. Chicken is cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Serve the chicken bonne femme over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes. You can also garnish it with fresh parsley or chives.
