    NOTES : 8 points

    We like a few crushed potato chips on top, but they are not included in
    the points of this recipe.

    This takes a little preparation, but has been a family favorite for
    years.

    Tip: When chicken is on sale, I buy extra, cook it in the crockpot,
    cut it up and put it in 1 or 2 cup portions in a zip-lock bags. Lay
    the bagged chicken flat on the freezer shelf to freeze. It stacks better
    and this will help it to thaw quickly.
