Betsy's Chicken, mashed yams, and southern cinnamon apples

Ingredients:
For Chicken:
-1 Boneless skinless chicken breast
-2 Slices extra thin Swiss cheese
-1/3 cup 98% Fat-free Campbell's cream of chicken soup
-1 Tbsp White wine
-1/4 cup Dry stuffing mix
-Salt and pepper to taste

For Yams (two servings):
-1 Large yam
-1 Tsp Cinnamon
-2 Tsp Splenda
-1/4 cup Skim milk

For Cinnamon apples:
-1 Firm apple, like Granny Smith
-1 Tbsp "I Can't Believe it's Not Butter" Light
-1 Tbsp Splenda
-1 Tbsp Sugar
-1 Tsp Cinnamon

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a small glass casserole that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray, lay chicken breast flat. Season with salt and pepper. Layer two slices of Swiss cheese on top of the breast. In a small separate bowl, combine the condensed soup and wine, with more salt and pepper. Pour the sauce over the cheese.  Sprinkle the stuffing on top and cook in the oven for 45 minutes.

For the yams: while the chicken is in the oven, cut the yam into 1-inch chunks (toss the ends out) and cook them in boiling water until they are soft. Drain the yams and empty them into a medium bowl. Add milk and mash. Once soft, add the cinnamon and Splenda and stir. Add more seasonings to taste. Divide evenly into two ramekins and save one of them as leftovers.

Simultaneously while cooking the yams, prepare the cinnamon apples as done in this recipe.

For best timing, start the yams when there are 30 minutes left on the chicken, and the apples when there are 20 minutes left.

Plate and serve immediately.
