Chicken and Dressing Casserole - 8 Smart Points

 This is a 2 quart casserole dish.  I figured the recipe makes 4 generous servings.  A side dish or two and you have a complete meal.

Years ago I started using 8" plates rather than the larger dinner plates that came with the dishes I bought.  You can see that 1/4 of the recipe makes a generous serving.

CHICKEN AND DRESSING CASSEROLE

Of course you can save a few points if you choose to use fat free sour cream, cream cheese or broth.

**This would be good made with the herb seasoned stuffing mix or by adding some poultry seasoning to the mixture.
